“In this new interactive Web world, I have become a nomadic learner; I graze on knowledge. I find what I need when I need it.”
Will Richardson 2006

PLE: Personal Learning Environment
“We know we can publish information, now we need to focus on how we connect to each other, how we build learning contexts” P. Mancini 2007

Why a PLE?
“The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.” G. Siemens 2004

Social networks: connected learning
Individual Knowledge vs. Mutual Knowledge :
Collective power to bring about change
Explicit language is an excellent way of creating mutual knowledge
By putting it “out there” we are changing the state of knowledge.

To teach is to learn twice. ~Joseph
