The power of the online professional learning networkJo Mcleay
Coming to a conference like the annual VATE conference is a great way of learning and becoming inspired about our teaching. We gain ideas, resources and new ways of thinking about our practice in the classroom. But it is only once a year. Over the last few years I have found my professional learning extended by finding a network of enthusiastic and knowledgable teachers and educators from all around the globe who are on hand to give me inspiration and ideas whenever I need it. My new online Professional Learning Network (PLN) is a global network and fluid enough to accommodate learning anytime, anywhere. This workshop will demonstrate the use of nings, blogs, Twitter and diigo as a means to connect with other educators on a global scale and make learning more meaningful. It is for teachers at all levels of experience and all year levels.

Some tools to bring new life to your classroomSteve Young
With any job it’s easy to eventually find oneself in a rut, doing things the same way over and over. I know back when I was teaching, sometimes the pressures of grading, paperwork, and the real world meant that I didn’t try to teach a lesson differently or try something new with my students. Maybe I blamed it on the fact that I had four preps, but no matter what the reason, it was very rewarding to take time to try a new innovative lesson and see it work very well in the classroom.
As we start a new school year, there is no better time for teachers to investigate something new. And whether it is something truly transformative to teaching, or maybe just a tool to make teaching a little more efficient, any improvement is a step in the right direction. Here are some simple to use tools to get you started in the right direction.
Learning Activities in Personal Learning EnvironmentMartin Ebner
1) The document discusses the development and use of a personal learning environment (PLE) at Graz University of Technology.
2) The PLE allows students to organize widgets, or applications, on their personal desktop in a way that meets their own needs and interests.
3) Analytics of widget and user usage within the PLE have shown that widgets connecting to core university services are most popular, and that over time students are customizing the PLE more like a mobile app experience.
This document discusses professional learning networks (PLNs) and provides guidance on how to establish a PLN. It recommends starting by following a few educator blogs and Twitter accounts focused on professional topics to avoid too much non-work content. The document also lists online communities, social bookmarking, and video conferences as PLN resources and emphasizes that the first goal of a PLN is to connect with other educators in order to later collaborate and contribute. It provides examples of tools and steps to take to create a presentation on PLNs, including researching various online resources and remixing content under Creative Commons licensing.
