Notes de l'éditeur
- Give a very brief overview of the aPLaNet project: Q: Who is it aimed at? A: European language educators, but open to all Q: What are our aims? A: We want to help and encourage those who are reluctant or shy to use ICT, SN or build a PLN on their own through mentoring and providing materials for self-access.
- The British Council is involved n a European Union funded project under the lifelong learning programme to help teachers build and effectively use a PLN (Personal Learning Environment) The importance of building your own PLN can be understood by looking at the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) and how it is ineffective for lifelong learning. VLEs such as Moodle or Blackboard are institution owned and so when a learner stops studying at the organisation that owns it, or if a teacher changes jobs, all of the content that this person has created, and all of the connections that they have made, generally disappear, as the person is removed from the organisation's system. Because of this, encouraging people to build their own, personal learning environment, and connect to people (i.e. the PLN) means a more durable system for learning and development is created and which is owned by the individual Our aim in aPLaNet is to make more teachers aware of how they can do this, and to provide mentors to help them through the early stages of developing their own PLN
- Social networking is becoming one of the most popular places for language learners and teachers to connect Many teachers and learners are now building 'Personal Learning Networks' using tools such as Twitter as the hub. As recent news events has shown us, Twitter is one of the best ways of receiving instant information from around the world. As a teacher, building a large network of other teachers using tools such as Twitter gives you access to a wealth of collective knowledge and intelligence. It works best when you connect to a very large number of people and when you participate actively, sharing with the community. For many teachers, Twitter has become the first port of call when looking for ideas or resources for class and there are a number of excellent regular discussions that take place such as #educhat and #eltchat which enable continuing professional development to take place in a relaxed and friendly way online.
