Also PLN is
very interesting and helpful for people who work full-time. The advantage of
people communicating online is the ease of finding and sharing information
about anything, it is creative, catchy and collaborative and, finally, the
group feedback that you get on ideas and projects.
Why is it
good to use in schools?
In my
opinion, the PLN influence on the educational process. The vast majority of
children are connected to social networks, so students might find important to
maintain web updates on their own scholarship. In that way the teacher empower
their students to take control of their learning and make new connections with
others who will strengthen their learning process. In addition, 2.0 apps, like
blogs where they can give their give their opinion about anything, will
probably catch the student’s attention, because they know the methodology and
tools with which they work.
What can do
teachers with 2.0 applications?
-
Can
learn to describe and comment.
-
Can
create stories.
-
Show
ideas and data information.
-
Share
opinions and points of view.
And all
that can be used in the classroom with our students.
To finish,
here is a video called “The Networked Student” that shows how on-line
applications can improve the student’s skills.
