- 29. Embrace the InfoStream • Information as a flow or stream – See danah boyd http://bit.ly/streamCSU – Choose: fight, float, or navigate (McCarthy, 1991) • Practice: Consuming, Curating, Contributing – Establish access point(s) (e.g., Twitter) – Take in, screening for relevance – Mark for later use (e.g., “Favorite” in Twitter) – Retrieve when needed
- 30. Practice Connected Learning • Professional conferences good starting point (e.g., resource sharing via official channels & Twitter back channel) • Form/engage with a Personal Learning Network (PLN) See http://bit.ly/pln_intro • Participate in a cMOOC See http://bit.ly/mooclunch_resources01 for a starting point
- 33. October is Connected Educator Month http://connected educator.org has year-round resources but buzzes during October
- 34. Help Students Become Connected Learners • Design activities for students to: Consume, Curate, Contribute – Model your own practice – Establish a mini-Personal Learning Network (PLN) – Set expectations (and scoring criteria?) for on-going activity – Encourage students to spin off their own PLN • Scaffold with supporting resources – Align with learning objectives – Provide examples – Link to how-to guides/tutorials
