PLE2010: After Barcelona

July 26th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

The Barcelona PLE conference was a lot of fun. A great atmosphere, a fine venue and at last the chance to meet face to face with many of the people who have contributed comments on our web site over the years. We tried to break with traditional confernce presentatio0n formats to encourage more interaction between participants. And on the whole I think the change in formats worked – though as with anything there is room for improvement.

Next years PLE conference will be at the University of Southampton – watch this space for more details.But in the meantime there is plenty of work to be done. We had over 60 papers submitted to the conference. Many of them are very good. And whilst of course we have published them all (or are in the course of doing so) on the PLE conference web site, we are working on three special journal editions featuring papers from the conference. We will be in touch with many of the authors in the coming weeks and hope to include as many papers as we are able.

We are also thinking about launching a number of events in autumn and spring including hopefully, a number of online seminars. Just watch this space or the PLE2010 conference site for more details.

All about Personal Learning Environments (Part 1)

July 20th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Multi media was very much in evidence at the PLE conference in Barcelona earlier this month. Besides the live streaming and a dazzling array of ipads and other handheld devices, we were able to use CitiLab’s own wonderfully appointed multimedia studio. Joyce Seitzinger interviewed a number of organisers, unkeynote speakers and participants as part of her “What my PLN means to me” project. There is some good stuff here, well worth viewing.

Konferencja PLE BCN Barcelona 2010

July 19th, 2010 by Ilona Buchem

Konferencja PLE (PLE = Personal Learning Environments, czyli osobiste srodowiska uczenia się) miała swoją premierę w Barcelonie (8-9 lipca 2010). Byłam jedą z organizatorów i o swoich wrażeniach z tej perspektywy napisałam tutaj.  Podczas konferencji rozmawiałam o PLE i o konferencji z wieloma osobami, które zajmują się tym tematem. Ale jak widzą to studenci? Jedną z uczestniczek konferencji była Aleksandra Jaroszyńska. Aleksandra studiuje w Barcelonie od trzech lat na międzynarodowym uniwersytecie ESEI kierunek Business Administration na poziomie Bachelor. Z Aleksandrą rozmawiałam po konferencji na Skypie. Byłam ciekawa jej spojrzenia na osobiste środowiska uczenia się i jej ocenę konferencji. Chciałam dowiedzieć się, jak studenci podchodzą do PLE i co daa im ta konferencja. Oto zapis naszej rozmowy.

Ilona: Powiedz prosze, jak to się stało, że trafiłaś na konferencję PLE?

Aleksandra: Z PLE zetknełam się po raz pierwszy w czasie moich zajęć. Mój wykładwca – Ricardo Torres Kompen, docent od Information Technology, wprowadził nas w ten temat z racji tego, że razem ze swoimi współpracownikami z Anglii prowadził badania odnośnie platform dla PLE. Jako studenci zostalismy zaangażowani do organizacji konferencji.

Ilona : W jaki sposób wykładowca zbliżył was do PLE?

Aleksandra: Na samym początku nie wiedzieliśmy, że będziemy studiować koncept PLE. Na zajęciach przede wszystkim bazowaliśmy na poznawaniu narzędzi sieci 2.0 takich jak Flickr, Twitter czy de.li.cio.us. Po około pół roku studiowania różnych aplikacji nasz wykładowca zadał nam jako pracę poskładanie ich wszystkich w jedno i stworzenie czegoś, co było by naszym perfekcyjnym narzędziem do nauki, czyli generalnie naszym PLE. Zajmowaliśmy się PLE z perspektywy użytkownika. Większość z nas nawet nie miała pojęcia o istnieniu Twittera czy Flickra, nie wspominając już o innych programach. Więc najpierw musieliśmy nauczyć się ich używać, potem debatowaliśmy nad tym jak mogą się przyczynić do naszego procesu nauki. A na koniec wdrażaliśmy praktykę w życie…

Ilona : A w jaki sposob “złożyłas” twoje PLE? Czym się kierowałaś?

Aleksandra: Moje PLE było dosyć specyficzne, dlatego, że oparłam je na koncepcie, którego nikt wcześniej nie założył. Dla mnie moje optymalne PLE to … mój własny computer, więc to do czego dażyłam to stworzenie wirtualnej wersji mojego PLE poprzez użycie “web operating systems”, czyli potocznie mówiac wirtualnego desktopu. Przestudiowałam kilka z dostępnych wersji pod względem tego, do jakiego stopnia mogą być one dostosowane do moich potrzeb, czyli pod względem tworzenia i modyfikowania dokumentów, słuchania muzyki, edytowania zdjeć, ale też z drugiej strony pod względem możliwości linkowania moich narzędzi sieci społecznych. Najlepszą platformą okazał się G.ho.st, który niestety obecnie już nie istnieje. Ale stworzyłam też moje PLE na bazie Ajax Windows. Ma więcej ograniczej, ale służy w miarę dobrze, no i wciąż jest na sieci …

Ilona : Wróćmy teraz do konferncji PLE – jak ją oceniasz?

Aleksandra: Myslę, że ze strony organizacyjnej wszystko było naprawdę świetnie przygotowane, było wiele możliwości poznania nowych ludzi i atmosfera naprawdę do tego zachęcała …

Ilona : Ale…

Aleksandra: Ale problem dla mnie i moich znajomych z uniwersytetu, którzy pomagali przy organizacji to było ukierunkowanie konferencji. Większość sesji i warsztatów była przeznaczona dla nauczycieli albo profesjonalistów zajmujących się badaniami nad PLE. Dla nas studentów byłoby dużo ciekawiej, gdyby zostały przedstawione nowe metody tworzenia PLE albo nowe platformy i aplikacje, ktróre mogłyby nasze PLE wzbogacić. Generalnie brakowało mi praktycznego podejscia do PLE. Większość konferencji, przynajmniej te sesje, w których uczestniczyłam, dotyczyły głównie konceptu PLE. My mieliśmy nadzieję na to, że dowiemy się np. jak używać PLE na studiach i w pracy.

Ilona : Rozumiem. Jestem ciekawa, czy Twoje spojrzenie na PLE zmieniło się przez tą konferencję?

Aleksandra: Powiedziałabym, że się rozszeżyło. Osobiście wciaż mam swoją własną wizję PLE jako miejsca, w którym znajdują się wszystkie materiały, których używam do nauki, rozrywki i generalnie rozwijania się. Natomiast rozmawiając z innymi użytkownikami PLE i słuchajac konferencji, zdałam sobie sprawę, że PLE nie jest tylko tym, czego nauczyl nas nasz wykładowca. Zrozumiałam, że PLE to znaczeniowo dużo szerszy koncept. Generalnie, pierwotne podchodziłam do PLE z punktu czysto wirtualnego, czyli moje pierwotne PLE zawierało jedynie “digital resources”, czyli zasoby wirtualne. Konferencja PLE uświadomiła mi po pierwsze, że PLE może istnieć poza komputerem. Po drugie, że dla wielu, PLE nie jest bazą danych informacji, ale łańcuchem, który łączy wiele informacji i tworzy przez to “ściezkę nauki“.

Ilona : To z czego składa się Twoje PLE?

Aleksandra: Moje PLE można podzielić na sekcje, które zresztą są widoczne w ułożeniu mojego pulpitu. Pierwsza część to wszystkie moje dokumenty, prezentacje, artykuły i prace, czyli typowa część biurowa, czyli to, co zazwyczaj nosimy na naszym USB. Druga część to sieć 2.0, czyli linki do Facebooka, Flickra i do moich bookmarków. Generalnie wszystko, co używam na sieci do kontaktowania się ze znajomymi i do szukania informacji. Trzecia część to moje ulubione RSS feeds, które mam zachowane – mój desktop wyświetla mi nowe artykuły, które się pojawiaja w moich ulubionych magazynach. No i dodatkowo to, co cenię w moim PLE to to jak mi pomaga w organizacji, czyli to, że mogę dodać do niego kalendarz, prognozę pogody, listę rzeczy do zrobienia, itp – czyli typowe dla aplikacji internetowych “widgets”. Poza tym z mojego PLE mam bezpośredni dostęp do moich e-maili, które są importowane ze wszystkich moich kont mailowych oraz dostęp do wszystkich komunikatorów, takich jak  Google Talk, MSN, itp.

Ilona : Czy są jakieś problemy związane z prowadzeniem takiego własnego PLE?

Aleksandra: Główny problem to stabilność platformy. W związku z tym, że używam mojego PLE na bazie wirtualnego pulpitu, dostep do niego i jego funkcjonalność jest zależna od osób trzecich no i niestety, jak widać na przykładzie G.ho.st, czasami jest to duży problem. Jest wiele innych problemów, na przykład to, że każda platforma oferuje coś innego, więc tak naprawdę cieżko jest znaleźć perfekcyjną wersję, która będzie zawierać wszystko to, czego potrzebuję w moim PLE. Szczerze mówiąc zbudowałam moje PLE ponad rok temu, ale pół roku temu kupiłam jeden z tych małych przenośnych laptopów i odkąd go mam, używam mojego wirtualnego PLE coraz mniej …

Ilona : Dlaczego?

Aleksandra: Bo głowną zaletą tego podejścia jest to, że PLE jako wirtualny pulpit jest dostępny z każdego komputera. W tej chwili mój laptop jest na tyle przenośny, że nie potrzebuję wirtualnego dostępu do pulpit, tylko noszę go ze sobą :) Generalnie wszystkie moje aplikacje są dostępne z pulpitu mojego komputera. Muszę jednak przyznać, że dużo łatwiej jest stworzyć taki dostęp z wirtualnego pulpitu niż z tego faktycznego w moim komputerze. Wiec to może być duży plus dla pozostania w wirtualnym PLE.

To była bardzo ciekawa rozmowa. Bardzo chciałabym się dowiedzieć, jakich narzędzi sieci 2.0 używacie? Co jest Wszym osobistym środowiskiem uczenia się?

PLE2010 Conference – what did we achieve

July 17th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Dave shows off the super sized Manchester PLE
Photo Samscam

Its been a week off from the blog. Following the PLE2010 conference in Barcelona I took a short holiday. And since I have been back I have been fighting (unsuccessfully) a power failure in my office. So now I am squatting in a friend’s house and using my laptop.

I have much to say about the PLE2010 conference – I am not quite sure where to start.

Firstly it was a truly social conference – social in the both face to face and distant participants were involved in the different sessions. Social too, in the way the pre-conference discussions ran into the conference proper and then into the discussions at coffee breaks and in the evening. The formal conference was just one part of the whole event. And social in the use of media. Besides the live streaming of many sessions, it woudl appear the conference generated over 5000 tweets on the first day (the tweets are archived here).Indeed, for many of us it was the first chance to meet face to face people we have been collaborating with on line for a long time.

Much of this was down to the design of the conference. the pre-conference publicity and discuxxiosn had been focused on social media and in particualr twitter. And the programme design, from unkeynotes to cafe style sessions, debates amnd workshops, was signed to facilitate social interaction and participation. And it is encouraging that many have said they will relook at how they are organising conferences and draw on our ideas.

But what about the ideas? Firstly it was very heartening to see that we seemed to have moved beyond the stage of defining a PLE by what it is not i.e. not a VLE. Instead participants were looking outwards, at how to support learning. I am not sure how much we shared common understandings and meanings around PLEs (sadly I cannot find a record of the session which tried to arrive at such a common definition) but there seemed sufficient understanding for common debates.

One controversial issue was how far it was possible to provide an institutional PLE. This debate was driven by the folks from SAPO Campus in Portugal who are trying to do just that (and still managing to find time for late night and in depth analysis of the failings of the Portugese football team!). My own take is that I do not mind where the tools for a PLE come from as long as the leaner is in control.

Two ‘discourses’ particularly heartened me. The first was between educational researchers and practitioners and software and technical developers. This is an oft troubled discourse in the ed tech community. It may be that the common understandings around the idea of a PLE are allowing these different groups to work together in new ways. I particularly enjoyed the session on using Google Wave as a PLE and was impressed by the Talkingabout video sharing site. But what charatcterised these ideas – as in others I could not attend but heard from others about – was the innovation in appropriating technologies for pedagogic innovation.

Another – and more problematic but recurrent discourse was the issue of motivation. Participants were trying to develop PLEs with students inside the schooling and university systems. But surveys and anecdotal evidence suggests students are wary being overly focused on what work they need to do to pass exams, rather than exploring ideas and learning. And most students view direct didactic teaching as the best approach to passing their exams. As such they have little time for reflection or indeed little understanding as to why they should engage in such activity. This is problematic. We may consider their longer term learning important and thus view the development of meta-cognition and problem solving a priority. But perhaps inevitably under the present education systems their major concern is just to jump the next hurdle in the education race.

My only personal disappointment was that the major focus for PLE development and implementation for the vast majority of participants was for learners within schools and universities. There was limited interest in work based learning or in learning outside teh existing systems – the very areas where I think PLEs have the greatest potential.

Indeed, I think we have to consider the wider issue of where to locate the PLE debate. Clearly it is not just another instance of educational technology. But neither can it be easily subsumed in considerations of pedagogic approaches to the use of ICT for learning. I increasingly feel that the whole issue of PLEs is closely related to the ongoing discussions around open education. The very promise of PLEs is to understand the use of technology for learning in a new way, in a context where learning becomes part of society and is free and open to all.

But now there is a lot of work to be done. We have over 70 papers and many offers of publications. Most participants seemed to assume that PLE2011 was already on the cards (watch this blog for more news on that). And the bigger question is how we can use the ideas and networks generated by the conference to build a collective community of practice based on networking and sharing. Any thoughts or ideas  very welcome.

The PLE2010 unKeynote – how you can take part

July 7th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

This morning I met face to face with Alec Couros together with whom I am delivering the unKeynote presentation to the PLE2010 conference in Barcelonatomorrow morning.

We have crowd sourced the presentation. In response to the nine questions we posted 10 days ago, we have received over 25 replies, including slides, text, audio and video content. We have put all the slides together which will be the basis for the unKeynote tomorrow. You are all invited to take part. We will have roving microphones for those of you lucky enough to be with us in Barcelona. And for those of you who cannot be her face to face, just ask your comments or ask questions using the #PLE_BCN hash tag. Cristina Costa and Joyce Seitzinger (better known to the Twitterati as Catspyjamasnz) will be monitoring the twitterfeed and bringing to our attention your tweets. We are going to work with three screens – one for the crowd sourced slides, one for twitter and a third for our skrbl boards. For each of the key questions we have set up an open Scrbl board for participants. And if you don’t want to wait until tomorrow – you can contribute your ideas on the skrbl boards now. Here are the questions and the urls for the scrbl boards. The unKeynote runs from 9.15 to 1015 CET tomorrow (Thursday morning) and there are rumours it will be streamed (watch the hashtag tweets for details).

UPDATE – you can watch live stream from here – http://eventv.projectescitilab.eu/index.html

  3. What are the key attributes of a healthy PLE/PLN? - http://skrbl.com/142177071
  4. What pedagogies are inspired by PLEs (e.g., networked learning, connected learning)? Give examples of where PLEs/PLNs have transformed practice.- http://skrbl.com/142177180
  5. What are the implications of PLEs/PLNs beyond bringing educational technology into the classroom, and specifically toward workplace/professional learning? – http://skrbl.com/142177251
  6. If PLEs/PLNs are becoming the norm, what does it mean for teachers/trainers (or the extension: what does it mean for training teachers & trainers)?- http://skrbl.com/142177326
  7. As our networks continue to grow, what strategies should we have in managing our contacts, our connections, and our attention? Or, extension, how scalable are PLEs/PLNs? – http://skrbl.com/142177391
  8. Can we start thinking beyond PLEs/PLNs as models? Are we simply at a transitional stage? What will be the next, new model for learning in society? (e.g., where are we headed?) – http://skrbl.com/142177468

And after the presentation we will be publishing our works and yours – together!

Personal Learning Environment multi media goodness

July 6th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

In Monday’s edition of weeks series of blog posts around the PLE2010 conference being held in Barcelona, I commented on the use of social media. Indeed, from the level of on-line activity the conference has already started! You can pick up on what is happening through following the #PLE_2010 hash tag. And the #PLE_BCN daily newspaper – http://paper.li/tag/PLE_BCN provides a surprisingly rich picture of what is going on. But here are a few posts which have caught my eye.

Firstly George Couros has blogged that he is “honoured to be asked to moderate a session at the PLE Conference in Barcelona (#PLE_BCN on Twitter) to talk about what exactly is a Personal Learning Environment.  In this session, myself and 3 other educators (Cristina Costa, Ilona Buchem and Wolfgang Reinhardt) that are located all over the world, will work with participants to figure out a definition for the PLE term. ” George has posted the following diagramme to start the discussion.

Sia Vogel has contributed the following Prezi towards Alec Couros’s and my joint unkeynote presentation.

Jordi will be doing a joint keynote with Ismael Pena Lopez. Here is his contribution.

That is all I have time for today. More tomorrow – live from Barcelona.

How do we capture and share our community learning?

July 5th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Well it is PLE2010 Conference week so no apologies is that is the theme of the week. And in pre-conference reflection mood I wanted to reflect on some of the things we have done well and some we have done less well.

Fist of all, PLE2010 has some 70 or so presentations and over 100 delegates. Considering we set out with no large organisations or associations backing the conference I think this is pretty good. The conference has been put together through the hard work of a fairly inexperienced organising committee backed by the experience and enthusiasm of the community – edupunk working at its best!

And most of the publicity has been generated not through traditional media but through the4 us eof social media especially Twitter – just look at #PLE_BCN for proof. There are still barriers to the do it yourself cvonference model – we had big problems setting up payments systems that worked> And whilst the opens ource EasyChair system is sort of OK it does have its quirks (it would be very useful if someone could do some more work on the software).

As I told yesterday, I am very happy about our mix of traditional calls fo contribution (needed for researchers to gain travel grants form institutions with more unconferencing formats for presentation. I am sure the event is going to be a lot of fun.

The issue I think we have not paid sufficient attention to is what we do with the outcomes of the conference. True all the papers etc. are available as on-line proceedings. But how do we represent the outcomes of the different sessions to the wider community? How can we capture ideas and use such ideas in practice and in future research? How can we use the conference as a live event in our community generating new shared knowledge and experience?

Face to face events are valuable, not just for the participants, but for the community as a whole. But I am not sure we make best use of them at the moment. Your ideas would as ever be very welcome.

Looking forward to seeing some of you in Barcelona. :)

How we share our ideas #PLE_BCN

July 4th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Share photos on twitter with Twitpicjust created my personal #ple_bcn badge. cool idea to let you... on TwitpicMy badge for the PLE Conference, Barcelona, July 2010 on Twitpic

Participants at the PLe2010 conference have been invited to make their own conference badges. These have been shared on TwitPic

When we launched the PLe2010 conference way back last September we were determined it would not be just another conference. Twenty minute paper presentations, endless slides with bullet points, limited discussion. Yes, we wanted people to have a good time in the evenings but how could we move those evening knowledge sharing sessions inside the conference.

Unconferencing formats such as BarCamps or TeachMeets have generated much enthusiasm and creativity. But for researchers, especially young or emergent researchers, to secure funding for attending international conferences and events, many institutions demand the presentation of an academic paper.

So, we tried to get the best of both worlds. We appointed an academic board and all papers were subjected to a two person blind review process. We then grouped the various contributions by theme and language and went on to appoint chairs for each session. We wrote to each chair asking them to contact the presenters in their session and to agree a format for the session. We left the final format to the chair and presenters but indicated we wished for the sessions to involve all participants in as far as was possible. And we got some great proposals. Here is a selection of some of the formats which have been proposed for the different sessions at PLE20010.

Speed Learning Cafe (Jane Challinor)

  1. Chair starts with brief introduction to the process and asks audience to divide into three groups /tables
  2. There is then a 10 minute presentation  by each of three presenters (Chair keeps time with stopwatch throughout!!)
  3. Each presenter then goes to sit with a group at one of the three tables, which are  covered in blank paper & supplied with marker pens
  4. The presenters begin a conversation with their table using a single SPECIFIC – but not CLOSEDquestion relating to their specific research/interest. The aim is to gather some additional thoughts/learning or questions from the group on the theme of the workshop.
  5. Audience and presenters write notes on the table based on the conversation in the form of further questions/ thoughts
  6. Groups change to second table/ presenter after 5 minutes. Repeat steps 5 & 6
  7. Groups change to third table/ presenter after 5 minutes. Repeat steps 5 & 6
  8. Each presenter in turn summarises the conversations (3 – 5 key learning points from the session)
  9. Thank you & goodbye!! – Chair

Poster Session (Graham Attwell)

We will provide participants 10 minutes to look at the posters

Each of you will be invited to introduce your poster for 5 minutes

There will be space for participants to ask questions..

Participants will be invited to write down issues arising from your posters on a sticky note.

We will then group the issues and depending on the number of groups rate the importance.

We will then form groups for discussing those issues and hold a brief plenary at the end

Speed / learning café (Cristina Costa)

What does that mean?

It means that you will have 7 minutes to present your paper, focusing on the main key points (only 1 slide is allowed!… that is if you are using slides at all. You can use whatever you want!) It may sound a bit mad, but the fact is that short presentations are more focused and therefore more appealing to the listener.

The presentations will be followed by rotating groups discussions, as delegates will take turns participating in the discussions started by your presentations (hence the importance of making your presentation thought provoking).

Each discussion will last for 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes delegates will move to the next table. In each table there will be a laptop (please bring one along if you have one!) so that participants can annotate their discussions in a wiki page.

The session will end with a short presentation (3 minutes) by each group about the conclusions they have reached.

Paper Session (Maria Perifanou)

Time available for the session: 75min

Introduction of the presenters: 2min

Presentation of the findings of your research: 15min

Conclusion of the presentation with some questions for the audience asking for their feedback ( possible problems that you have faced during your research, future research questions….): 10min

Questions from the audience: 10min

Time for work for the participants: 20 min. The participants will be divided in groups. Each group will have to do a quick reasearch regarding the integration of technology in the education (and in everyday life) in their countries with a focus on the PLE concept. Are students on the way for the development of their PLEs or is it something that looks like a “dream” for the future
based on the findings of their research?

Presentation of the groups work findings – comparison of them with the findings of your research: 15min

End of the session: Conclusions 3min

Paper Session (Isamel Pena Lopez)

I see the common denominator of the session is _support_ in the sense of “let’s tell our ’supportees’ what does work so they can put it into practice”. Which means:

1.- there are some problems in my learning process that need being addressed

2.- solutions to fix these problems that do not work

3.- solutions that do

4.- (and likely) an assessment on how these solutions that work were

4a.—— put into practice

4b.—— their performance evaluated

My proposal.

GOAL: Instead of everyone telling their story, let’s try to end up with a shared one.
GOAL: let’s have it written so people can take it away with them

15:45 I would begin with an über-short presentation of everyone of you. That is not more than 6 minutes (2 per presenting group). And a presentation of how we will proceed. Total, 10′. I sit up with a blank powerpoint.

15:55 Each group has 3′ to explain what problems (point 1 aforementioned) they are addressing. I put them on the powerpoint without attribution, so I can merge them, rephrase them, avoid repetitions, etc.

16:04 Same with point 2.

16:13 Same with point 3.

16:22 Same with point 4a.

16:31 Same with point 4b.

16:40 We review the (now) shared presentation, let everyone in the room speak out their thoughts, add things, delete others, etc.

17:00 End of session.

Paper Session (Maria Perifanou)

4 presentations,  8min each (32min total) + 3 min (12min total) for the conclusion of each presentation with a presenter’s question to the audience for feedback  (maybe a research question for the future, something that troubles him/her in his research).

Participants write sticky notes at the same time -5min participants to add sticky notes (also
presenters can add issues for their feedback) -3min for 4 groups division  (12min in total)
-15min groups work -4min each group to report back (16min in total) -2min for presenters’ feedback to the 4 groups:  (8min in total)

Wirtualne warszaty i mapa myśli

July 1st, 2010 by Ilona Buchem

Moi drodzy, już niedługo już za momencik odbędzie się PLE konferencja #PLE_BCN w Barcelonie (8-9 lipca), którą przygotowujemy już od dawna (od dobrych 7 miesięcy). Właśnie dopinam wszystko do końca – przygotowywuję newsletter, prezentację na pecha kucha no i na warsztaty, które poprowadzę wraz z Cristina Costa (UK), Wolfgang Reinhardt (DE) i George Couros (CA) na temat definicji konceptu osobistych środowisk uczenia się. Tutaj możecie zobaczyć początkową kolekcję definicji. Warsztaty te będą miały formę „collaborative mind mapping“, czyli wspólne tworzenie mapy myśli w grupie realne i wirtualnej. W tym celu będziemy posługiwać się programem mindmeister, który daje bardzo wiele możliwści wspólnego tworzenia map myśli w tym samym czasie i asynchronicznie. Zarówno uczestnicy konferencji, jak i wszystkie inne osoby, które mają dostęp do Internetu i konto w minmeister bedą mogły uczestniczyć w tych warsztatach! Także zapraszam Was wszystkich serdecznie do brania udziału i tworzenia wspólnej mapy myśli! Warsztaty te odbędą sie w piątek, 9 lipca 15:45 do 17:00. We wtorek podam na tej stronie linka do początkowej mapy myśli i hasło do zalogowania się w piątek … ciąg dalszy nastąpi …

    The ECER 2010 Conference

    ECER 2010 Helsinki Poster

    ECER 2010, “Education and Cultural Change”, takes place in Helsinki, 23 – 27 August.

    Cultural change has emerged as an important issue in most European countries due to increased migration. With regard to education in Europe, culture is often perceived as referring mostly to ethnicity, religion and language, though cultural diversity also refers to race, gender, class, age, ability and sexual orientation.
