He had shared with me your name and someone else had also shared this blog post with me in my comments.<br /><br />Here is the link:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/9L3Cnv<br /><br />Hope you like it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862728342372099710.post-18965943787063832322010-04-26T05:05:27.946-07:002010-04-26T05:05:27.946-07:00I found your blog through the edfutures course.

Lovely!<br /><br />I find the PLE and your focus on processes fascinating because I've been working with knowledge building (Scardamalia & Bereiter) since the early 1990s and I've recently become interested in the affordances of new web technologies to support knowledge building processes. I do find my self-wondering about the "personal learning" emphasis as I think it may overshadow the social.SandyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541606305323640040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862728342372099710.post-28935782026505103492010-02-27T11:34:37.706-08:002010-02-27T11:34:37.706-08:00Hi Wendy.

I am currently taking EDM310 and also teaaching at a local residential school. As an returning student I have found myself in a new world with all of the technology available. So at times I probably feel like the 7th graders you mention and I exhibit some of their excitement, only some because at my age I can't nor do I want to go back the 7th grade. I look forward to reading your blog and learning more about the PLE's. We are dong PLN's for class and I am learning new things daily. Thanks for your wonderful blog and informative posts.Pamhttp://overstreetpamedm310.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862728342372099710.post-83482750506880052932010-02-24T18:14:00.209-08:002010-02-24T18:14:00.209-08:00Hi Wendy, I'm a teacher from Argentina in Sout...Hi Wendy, I'm a teacher from Argentina in South America, I really like your blog, I like the way you give examples on PLE.

Current...Very interesting research findings indeed! Currently I am working on something very similar but in the area of adult learning. Together with my colleagues we are trying to identify what set of competences and literacies is required by learners to start and maintain a PLE. If you are interested, you can find references to our paper in my blog.<br /><br />Referring to the first of your questions – I was wondering if “direct instruction” is a good word here. Personally I prefer „scaffolding“ or „scaffolds“ or even „interventions“. To me, the word „instruction“ deprives the student of his/her centrality in the learning process. „Scaffolds“ or „interventions“, on the contrary, leave the learner on the stage and only trigger desired change in the crucial moments. <br /><br />Referring to the diagram, I especially like the fact that there is place for digital responsibility in it! That’s a very important aspect that tends to be forgotten, at least in the area of adult learning. You ask, what might be missing in your diagram – I think, I miss the “planning” part of learning and tools that support planning for learning.<br /> I also think that “dealing with technology” is rather very vague, especially in contrast to other processes, which are more specific, such as: searching and viewing video, text and audio.Joannahttp://askawild.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862728342372099710.post-14590145462541335042010-01-13T14:03:17.746-08:002010-01-13T14:03:17.746-08:00Carolyn,

But, I don't think it works on the diagram. I've taken out the word "learning", but left "practicing" because I'm sure it's possible to fully attain digital literacy or responsibility. Attaining those skills is an ongoing process. Thank you so much for your comment and direction to Zones of Intervention. This is really helpful.<br /><br />WendyWendy DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645389588613812673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862728342372099710.post-51725908715955663772010-01-13T12:43:29.645-08:002010-01-13T12:43:29.645-08:00Interesting model and interesting what we learn wh...Interesting model and interesting what we learn when we step into the role of observer!<br /><br />I'm wondering about the terminology of "learning" in the top quadrant--most of the skills seem to involve research or searching, and wouldn't all the categories listed have to do with learning, whether collaborating, creating, etc>?<br /><br />Are you familiar with Zones of Intervention? Carol Kuhlthau writes about that quite a bit--might interest you.Carolyn Footehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581454611313810543noreply@blogger.com
