Using Digital Technologies and PLNs to Enhance Learning
These are the slides for my Podstock 2009 keynote. Unfortunately the animations and effects were lost when uploaded to SlideBoom. I’ve shared my notes, resources and video of this presentation over on my wiki, Learning Telecollaboratively. I hope to create a Vidcast or SlideCast of this presentation once I return home and things settle down.

Students and PLNs (Feedback Requested)
We’ve been discussing educators’ use of personal learning networks (see here and here). While the responses have been quite favorable (Certainly skewed by the fact that most that saw the request are likely plugged-in to social technologies) several have raised important issues, shared frustrations, and expressed reluctance related to the use of online PLNs. I do not wish to impede that ongoing conversation, but I would like for us to extend the conversation a bit more. So…
Do you think participation in personal learning networks (PLN) can enhance student learning?
