With an emphasis on “conversation.” For those who might be thinking of coming to my session on Saturday in Philadelphia, just know that I’m not planning on taking up too much of the time (10-15 mins or so) doing anything but contextualizing the rest of the discussion (the last 75 minutes or so), and that this will be an unconference session along the lines of what we did in Shanghai. The description reads
We’ll have a conversation about how best to leverage our own
understanding and practice of personal learning networks in ways that
can influence others’ professional practice and, ultimately, create
change in schools and classrooms.
It would be great if we could come out of the session with a “Strategy Wiki” that might serve as guide for those searching for a way to broaden the conversations at their own schools and districts. Or not.
And if you can’t be there in person, you can tune in and join the conversation (maybe even Skype in) at the EduCon UStream Channel 1 at 12:30 EST.

I have been blogging with my students by way of having a ‘mother’ blogs to which my students log into for homework tasks. We are fairly interactive. My students are all EFL and we are located in West Java, Indonesia. This blog has had over 6000 hits since I started in 6 months ago. My students are all Grade 5 level.

I think it would be uber-cool if you were to take your crowd into Arthus’ session – you know, give him a little boost.
For what it’s worth,

Will,
What advice would you give an amateur for developing his/her own PLN? What strategies would you offer? What beginning point? How do we talk about PLN to the people in our building?
