Learning is Change

Launching the #ILearnFrom project to honor those in your PLN.

I realized a long while ago that Follow Friday (or #FF on twitter) wasn’t a very good way to honor the depth of learning going on in social spaces. So, I am attempting to do something more personal, more connected to help in this regard.

In this video blog from The Fellowship of Open Spokes I talk about the hashtag that I am using to honor all of the amazing people I am learning from: #ILearnFrom.

Essentially, it goes like this:

#ILearnFrom @TwitterUser because [my reason for learning from them]. Ask [him or her] about [something I know they are working on and/or are good at].

My hope is that this hashtag is a way to invite one another to connect.

My central question is: Who do you learn from?

And, how do you connect others to those who you are learning from?

#ILearnFrom all of you. Who do you learn from?

Here are all of the people (including me) that are using this hashtag. Please use it and keep the conversation going.

Since we already have a great blog post in the community on the SAMR model, I wanted to share a great resource for how to construct a professional learning experience using the same model.

Kevin Croghan, I wonder if this might help your ideas around leveled professional development.

I find this template pretty compelling. What are you all think?

The "Why should we be using Badges for Learning?" Roundtable

Thank you so much for everyone who participated live. The notes document is now a hugely valuable resource for those who want to start implementing badges: http://bit.ly/badgesroundtable

Next Steps:

1. Submit your reflection for your own badge for this session – http://badges.p2pu.org/en/badge/view/311/

2. Attend the rest of the Project Roundtable sessions: http://bit.ly/projectroundtable

Roundtable purpose:
This roundtable is about trying to find best practices for using Badges and Micro-credentials in learning environments both for adult and student learners.

We are excited by what is possible here, but we want to see examples of where it is being done well.

Roundtable audience:
This roundtable is for anyone who is interested in using Badges or Micro-credentialing as a strategy to personalize learning.

It is also intended for those interested in:
1. Gamification
2. Blended Learning
3. Competency-based learning

Please fill out the Google Doc to set up if you would like to be on the video hangout or if you would like to simply be a viewer. All are welcome.?

Pop some popcorn and get ready for some learning!

Anyone want the chance to have their animated gif on the next version of Doctopus?

Need this community’s help.  I’m on a major, multi-day code sprint to bring about the next generation version of Doctopus, which will most-likely launch in the coming weeks.

Quaint as it is, the current GIF for my favorite cloud-dwelling cephalopod is just not doing the job, and I need to make my brain bleed with the code, not the Photoshop.

Does anyone in this community have the talent and motivation to do better?  Post links to your publicly viewable submissions in this thread?  The winning GIF artist will have their name credited in my documentation. 

You can do it!
