TOPIC 4 HUMAN CENTRED COMPUTING: HUMAN INTERFACES

Exercise 4.3 Social networking tools for your "PLN"

a) Social network sites that I personally feel support, i) Learning and ii) Professional development in the workplace.

Learning
YouTube Yahoo! Teacher Tube, SocialGo & Delicious


Professional development
YouTube, Yahoo! Teacher Tube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Bubbl.us, SocialGo & Delicious


I could not find any useful potential for the following sites Bebo, Facebook, Ning, MySpace, RevYu, Flickr and reddit in regards to, i)Learning and/or ii) Professional development in the workplace.


I hadn't even heard of half of them and had to go to each unknown site and find out what they were about!

b) Make up two new profiles, Yes I now have a profile at Teachers Tube http://www.teachertube.com/ and at Delicious http://delicious.com/



c) Do I have a personal learning network? Yes to a small degree I do as this course has forced me to build one and to realise that I always had a PLN I just didn't realise what it was called. I try to make myself a member of sites that I can use on a regular basis. Far too many usernames and passwords to remember otherwise:(
