Why build a Personal Learning Network?

Why build a Personal Learning Network? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Time spent developing your Personal Learning Network is time well spent but it does take time. The danger busy teachers face is in becoming so engrossed in dealing with the day to day business of teaching that we make poor choices when it comes to time spent on our personal learning. We manage to find time for our students, for phone calls home, for report writing and programming all the while letting our engagement with learning slip down the list of things to do. Ensuring your personal learning is a priority is essential and should be seen against the value it brings to your students; enhance your teaching and you enhance their learning.


Munro, Hopkins and Craig recognise this when they state ‘Student outcomes depend on the teaching in the school, its pedagogic capital’. For you, your school and most importantly your students time invested in building a Personal Learning Network is time spent developing your pedagogic capital.

A great article ensuring that Educators make time to continually invest time into their own learning practices. Information is always changing, being updated,  being expanded, or being debated, so educators need to be aware of these adjustments. By analysing their knowledge and beliefs on certain topics and researching other perspectives educators will show growth and critical thinking in their own learning strategies.

Tamie Douglas's curator insight, September 30, 2015 9:14 PM

Introducing technology into classrooms is more than just providing the devices and internet connections. Educators need to develop skills and attitudes in incorporating these technologies into their teaching practises. We know technology is a part of our everyday life, but how to we use it to effectively educate our students and what happens to schools that can not financially invest in these technologies. With technology changing so quickly and frequently, how do educators stay up to date and skilled in these areas to be able to educate effectively?

Watch out for your own fixed mindset, Carol Dweck tells teachers | Growth Mindset | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Carol Dweck, the respected academic behind the “growth mindset” theory that has taken education by storm, has warned teachers to be aware of their own “fixed mindset” ideas. Writing for US publication Education Week, Professor Dweck said every teacher had a “fixed mindset” in some circumstances and a “growth mindset” in others, and that greater awareness of this could help teachers improve their practice.

A complete report of "Information and communication technology" and how it is increasing in today's education.  Modernization of utilizing mobile devices, computers, and different technology may be causing a different scenario than what is expected.  Not only because the students or teacher may have the newest technology in their hands means they know how to use it.  The learning of skills and methodologies practicing different pedagogies are necessary for the 21st century classroom.

What is Coaching? | Classroom Coaches

What is Coaching? | Classroom Coaches | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What is Coaching?

Over 2,400 years ago, at the height of the Athenian enlightenment, Socrates asserted that teachers should help students to uncover information for themselves. This was a radical departure from the traditional approach of the time, which thought of students as empty vessels and of teachers as dispensers of information. The Socratic philosophy of teaching set the stage for coaching, which aims to unlock and increase potential and learning.

Whether a coach is helping a teacher improve, or a teacher is using the same skills with students in the classroom, coaching allows for a constructionist theory of education. This allows for the individuals to create strategies for themselves.

The Goal of Coaching

Coaching is concerned with long-term skill development rather than with quick fixes or temporary understanding. We define coaches as those who offer inspiration, guidance, training, and modeling, and who enhance others’ abilities through motivation and support (Longenecker & Pinkel, 1997). The goal of a coach is to increase achievement by helping someone:

  • Find their inner strengths and passions in order to nurture self-worth and identity,
  • Have a voice in their own learning and negotiate collectively with the instructor to create the goals and objectives,
  • Passionately engage in talking content to increase memory retention and fuel motivation to learn, and,
  • Use their inner talents to bring their work to the highest level of scholarship attainable.

One of Robert A. Heinlein’s most famous contributions to popular culture was an acronym: TANSTAAFL—There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. That certainly goes for today’s online services. Bing, Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and the like—they may not cost you a dime, but they’re not free. The only sure way to avoid paying is to surf anonymously, never buy a smartphone, and never take advantage of a free Web service that you have to log into. Barring that, v

What is your PKM routine? | LEARNing To LEARN | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The most important aspect of PKM is that it is personal. In order to stick with a routine over time, people have to find what works for them. Blogging has been a core part of my sense-making routine over the past decade. When I conduct workshops, my primary aim is help others discover what works for them. I do not have a secret formula, only some general guidelines developed through experience, plus a lot of ideas and suggested areas to explore.

My colleague Jane Hart shared her daily PKM routine recently and it’s different from mine, which of course it should be.

Hoe werkt jouw PKM? Alweer een manier om eigenaar te worden van je eigen leren. Een nuttig inzicht en een waardevolle oefening om zelf eens uit te tekenen.

Tamie Douglas's curator insight, October 1, 2015 1:33 AM

With the amount of different types of digital resources, websites and technologies, it is no wonder educators can be intimidated at the thought of introducing them into their classrooms. Building on their PKM is critical in staying relatively up-to-date with technology, devices, applications, blogs or blogging and websites. Developing a preference is only natural and will allow educators to be become more confident and knowledgable in a few of these technologies and delve deeper into their uses and capabilities, instead of just 'scratching the surface' of many.

Great Teachers are Not Rock Stars
Posted on September 27, 2015 by Bernard Bull
Great teachers are not rock stars. Rock stars take the center stage. It is all about them. They garner and thrive on the praise of their fans. The focus is on the rock star’s performance. This is the exact opposite of what we need in education. Education is about student performance. Great teachers help the students be their best on the stage of life. They shine the spotlight on the students. The best teachers are far more interested in giving than getting praise, and they are not in it to get a following of student fans.

Teachers matter, but we are not the center…at least we should not be the center.


Education is a service industry and whenever a service industry becomes more focused on protecting and preserving the preferences and traditions of the professionals than meeting the needs of those being served, there are serious problems on the horizon.

In the New Wild West, a Computer May Be More Dangerous Than a Gun | ICT | CyberSecurity | Awareness | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

We’re at the Wild West stage of the Internet: the pioneers have come and gone, the big operators are building their mines and ranches, and now comes the plague of carpetbaggers. Just as children once grew up surrounded by guns, but somehow managed to survive, our children now are growing up in the mine-strewn trench warfare landscape of the Internet. It can in fact be navigated with some degree of safety, but not by the incautious.


It falls to us – whether we are teachers, parents or security engineers – to bring up the next generation with some hope of survival. The challenge is to simultaneously encourage exploration and enforce security, or if that’s not available, at least some degree of safety. Our culture weathered the frontier era more or less successfully, so I’m inclined to believe we can deal with the threats of the Internet. The challenge is to do it with minimal damage.

Alison Wiebenga's curator insight, September 26, 2015 10:06 AM

Amazing that someone from Japan thought it would be easier to get a PhD than to become a teacher.  I agree with the author that too much teacher preparation/development is spent on abstract theory.  There needs to be more time spent on research based instructional strategies, classroom management, climate and culture, and all the other things that we need to know immediately upon entering the classroom.  When I face a problem in the field, I don't stop to ponder the relevant theory and draw conclusions about what might work.  I go to the net and look for concrete and practical solutions based on research. 

Tony Palmeri's curator insight, October 25, 2015 10:17 AM

I chose this article based on the dubious title. I have had the pleasure of working with many intellectually gifted teachers, but I also question the competency of some that I've worked with. Perhaps more rigorous testing should be used to select teacher candidates at schools of teacher education, or maybe the path to certification should be more difficult. However, I will certainly agree that our teacher training sometimes leans too much towards theory and not enough on the practical considerations of managing and presenting effective lessons.
