WHAT IS A PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORK?

-JOI ITO

I DON’T THINK THAT EDUCATION IS ABOUT CENTRALIZED INSTRUCTION ANYMORE;

RATHER, IT IS THE PROCESS [OF]

ESTABLISHING ONESELF AS A NODE IN A BROAD NETWORK OF DISTRIBUTED CREATIVITY.

ACADEMIC BLOGGING

Using social media has helped give my research a media profile which otherwise would have been impossible, particularly at this stage of my career. It’s made me easy to discover for journalists and it’s helped me forged a rich array of connections with the broader community who have been the subject of my research. I’ve also found that, increasingly, journalists have read my blog posts or listened to my podcasts before they contact me and it hugely aids the subsequent dialogue.

ACADEMIC INFLUENCE ON TWITTER

The impression of capacity for meaningful contribu-on is key to culDvaDng influence and the regard of acDvely networked peers. The value and meaning of that sense of contribuDon is Ded in part to the ways in which network signals operate individual to individual… Dr. Bonnie Stewart h4p://theory.cribchronicles.com/2015/03/10/open-‐to-‐influence-‐academic-‐influence-‐on-‐twi4er-‐the-‐short-‐version/

ALTMETRICS

“the new, online tools of scholarship begin to give public substance to the formally ephemeral roots of scholarship: the discussions never transcribed, the annotations never shared, the introductions never acknowledged, the manuscripts saved and reread but never cited. These backstage activities are now increasingly tagged, catalogued, and archived on blogs, Mendeley, Twitter, and elsewhere.”
