In an age of information abundance, the answers to many questions may only be a Google search away. Better yet, the people who can answer them, and who need your help, too, are available in real or semi-real time to help you and your students to solve problems. In this Web seminar, we will look at how educators are creating personal learning networks for themselves and their students, making classroom connections across town and around the world using tools like Twitter, blogs, and wikis, among others. We will also think about questions like: What happens when the classroom walls are permeable and you can use digital tools to bring people and information to you? How do social media practices influence life in the classroom? Outside of the classroom? Is there still a "classroom" when everyone has a personally-constructed learning network? Participants will leave with some good starting places and suggestions for how to begin to build learning networks for themselves and for and with their students at all levels K-12.
