Technology Self-Assessment: School 2.0

This artifact meets NETS-T 3: Model Digital Age Work and Learning

NETS-3
The article I choose was “Grow Your Personal Learning Network,” written by David Warlick.  The article discusses the multiple types of Personal Learning Networks available especially with the growing technology. According to Warlick there are there different outlets available. The first is the personally maintained synchronous connections. This includes the personal people and places regularly use. With the new outlets such as Skype and uStream it allows people to break the geographic boundaries that limit their network. The next type is the personally and socially maintained semi-synchronous connections.  This is a new type of social outlet. Unlike the first type this one will be sent out to groups that share similar interests oneself.  The major difference is that this one is not maintained in real time.  The final type is Dynamically maintained asynchronous connections. This allows us to search major engines that are relevant to the subject. It also allows the user to monitor the source engine periodically for new information.
