Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. A learner can exponentially improve their own learning by plugging into an existing network. -- George Siemens http://www.connectivism.ca/about.html accessed 10/20/06
Experience the tools • Blog • Video • Conferencing • Skype • Wiki
Connect to the chaos • find the work that matters – to you
Organize the chaos • where do I put everything
Trust the shoulders there to stand on • acknowledge them (blogroll) • help your readers connect with them
Experience, contribute, learn • blogging • the Zoho experience • the Carmun experience • community of practice
Be a scholar practitioner • define the PLE for yourself • new academic tools (Zotero) • new ways of connecting (OCC) Be Revolutionary Be Boundaryless
