3. Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
My Twitter PLN (Personal
Learning Network) is inspiring
food for thought!
This presentation is partly a
curation of excellent ideas and
resources I’ve acquired from
educators all over the world.
4. How To Start Your Own #PLN

5. “In the past, if I wanted to tell
someone they sucked, I’d
have to say it to their face
which would result in them
kicking me in the groin.”
6. Watch the video. Pick a quote.
Post it to http://bit.ly/w4sCorkboard
7. The 90-9-1 Principle
90% of users are the
“audience,” or lurkers. They
read or observe, but don’t
actively contribute.
9% of users are “editors.” They
rarely create content from
scratch.
1% of users are “creators.”
These people are driving large
Participation Inequality amount of activity and creating
new content.
8. The 90-9-1 Principle
To be fair, this study was conducted
in 2006.
But how does this look in our
classrooms?
What are we doing to promote and
encourage our students to change
this? Especially if we’re asking them
to shut handheld devices down
when they walk through the door?
9. Schools today must provide
opportunities for young people to create
knowledge out of the swirling clouds of
information that surround them 24/7. You went
to school because that’s where the knowledge was
stored. That was yesterday. Think how different
today’s world is. Today’s young people need
guidance in sifting through the flood of information
and turning it into knowledge.
They need to be able to
formulate good questions
— because computers
have all the answers.
