Workshop 14

Title: A Professional Learning Network?? Who needs one? How do you get one if you want one?

Workshop Description:

Learning has always been an intensely social activity starting from the very first time we entered a classroom. The availability of social networking technologies means learning is no longer constrained by place and time. With just a few clicks of the mouse, it’s easy to learn from peers and experts in areas that capture your interests and passions. This half day workshop will help participants gain hands-on experience using a variety of free online applications to construct and cultivate their own personal learning network
