This document discusses how social media and networking tools can help students build their own learning networks. It describes several tools like blogs, wikis, and social bookmarking sites that students can use to publicly share their work, receive feedback from a global audience, and collaborate with others. The document argues that these networking tools make the learning journey more dynamic, diverse, reflective, and resourceful by allowing students to connect with people around the world and decide what, when, how, and with whom they want to learn.
