3. Think of something
educationally awesome*.
Be prepared to share.
*Awesome might mean “neat.” But it might also mean “useful”
or “troubling” or “worth more of someone’s time.”

4. “Anyone can now learn anything from anyone at any
time.”
“Making things
visible and discuss-
able.”

5. • How do we show our work and tell our stories
in useful and productive ways?
• How are we being purposeful about the
behaviors and habits we model?
• How do social media practices influence life in
the classroom? Outside of the classroom?
• What's worth sharing? What's not? How do
you know?

6. • How are you modeling learning in your work?
• What "productive eavesdropping" are you
engaged in, or helping to foster?
• How are you being purposeful about the
behaviors and habits you model?
• Is there still a "classroom" when everyone has
a personally-constructed learning network?
What does that look like?

social structure made of nodes (which are
generally individuals or organizations) that
are tied by one or more specific types of
interdependency, such as values, visions,
idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship,
dislike, conflict, trade, web links, sexual
relations, disease transmission
(epidemiology), or airline routes. -
