Slide 27 - Wikipedia The title splash screen shows how many articles are written in each language Wikipedia is collective knowledge of the people of earth. It's always a work in progress. Not the definitive authority by any means but many articles are written by people with first hand knowledge or site references. I looked up Jonestown tradgedy from 30 years ago.

Random Notes by Alan to get the juices flowing:

PLN is just that, personal. Meaning unique. My PLN wont be the same as yours. Who you choose to follow on Twitter, read blogs, what aggragator you choose. What are your learning goals? Mine may differ as a Technology Coordinator than a classroom teacher. I am still working to find out all that is out there so I may be a better guide for my teachers in helping them choose a tool. You may focus more on uses of web2.0 in certain subject area. Web2.0 is called disruptive. Also called a PLE, Personal Learning Environment. Do search on Twitter for PLN, PLE. IT also called ICT and what else? Use Jeff Utecht's article on the adoptive stages of PLN. Immersion, Evaluation, Know-it-all, Perspective, Balance Don't forget to add podcasts. download them and listen to them on your ipod. Google, as a search tool is def part of my PLN. what are some new features, or standard that I use. Now I can type directly in to the address bar and it comes up with my search results. Also guesses what I am looking for as I type and offers valid search suggestions which i can choose by clicking on it.
