- Now, I know there are a few of you in this room that I have connected with via Twitter or other technologies, but I suppose the question for many of you is, “who is this guy”. I want to thank the VP for the warm introduction, but would also like to offer a bit more of myself. I feel that this is important as identity is an important notion throughout this talk. Digital identity, and how the network defines us, is an important, emerging trend. I define myself as a family man, a life-long learner, a teacher, and a risk-taker. I’ve worked in all educational sectors in my province, K12, technical, university, and correctional. In occasionally podcast with the Edtech Posse with some friends and colleagues in Saskatchewan. And I’ve been an advocate for openness for quite a few years now. Tell the story about the beard growing contest.
- Institutional Survivor
- These are definitely heroes. Passionate, well-meaning, caring. Tell the story of how I contacted Mrs. Stock on her retirement.
- Wiki will be one of the core tools in the course although I would be hesitant to call it the centre of all activity. It is there to help organize information for the course, but not where all of the activity will take place. Why a wiki? It is free. It is open. It is easy. It is collaborative. And it doesn’t have the locks (both the lock-ins and the lock-outs) that traditional course management tools have. And as far

- I have been a blogger for more than 5 years now, which I think is considerable for the medium. The blog itself has been pivotal to my career and professional development. I highly recommend having a professional blog and personal domain.
- The idea of the personal learning network has become incredibly important. This diagram describes my understanding of the personal learning network, how an individual connects to a number of tools and information sources in their personal learning. More importantly are the people behind the tools. These were the people I in some way interacted with in the course of a few days in April. They represent virtual colleagues, bloggers, students ... many of these people I have never met face-to-face, but are incredibly important to my learning.

- New research shows that students are much more public more than they are private. Also, they tend to share things in different ways than our generation. What happens when sharing is by default? What are the implications for your teaching and learning environment?

- One of the metaphors I threw around and wrote a post was the network sherpa. I’ve heard learning concierge, navigator, etc.. All metaphors have limitations. But the metaphor is not really import. The search is. We have to continue to rethink, through analogy, metaphor, and practice, the emerging shape of teaching and learning.
- And some of the benefits coming from the research include:
- Include possible community generated experiences.
