“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as
scholars. Such tools might positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to
build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and
connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow, Robella, & Hughes, 2009)

Networked Communities
Teens are not connecting in the ways we fear. But, we need to pay attention to:
•Properties: persistence, replicability, searchability, scalability, (de)locatability.
•Dynamics: invisible audiences, collapsed contexts, blurring of public & private spaces

• Inspired by McLuhan’s “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.”
• Youtube & other social media mitigate “connection without constraint”. In many cases this leaves to “tremendously deep communities”.

designing 4 openness
personal learning networks
if you build it ...
non-credit students
social affordance
distributed conversations
culture of sharing
global classroom
invisible colleges
professional identities
disruptive education
“I was able to go out and learn throughout the entire week, the entire year, and I’m still learning with
everyone.”
“The best part of the course is that it’s not
ending. With the connections we’ve built, it never has to end.”
“The course ... has been the most profound pd experience I’ve ever had. It forced me to
critique & review my practice. I never knew how important social networks were. Now, I couldn’t
be a teacher without being connected. It’s drastically changed my view of education.”
*this* is not going away
social media provides engagement/motivation
development of meaningful learning communities
incredible possibilities for teaching and learning
good teaching should be shared & transparent
