- Liked the #Plenk2010 Daily, a summary of posts on Twitter. I'm not a heavy Twitter user but this course has already prompted me to learn a few Twitter tricks I didn't previously know (I learned to use the delayed posting function). I tweeted from my iPhone (typos included).
- Watched the recordings of the Elluminate sessions. I don't really feel any need to be there live and participate in the sidebar chatter. It's too confusing to me, requires a split brain to follow the presenters and the side conversation.
- Tried to add my blog feed to that of others but I'm not sure I provided the correct information.
- A lot of the traffic is noise, but that's the reality of much of what we face in the workplace. We all need to learn to deal with noise and to better filter information.
- Reconnected with someone I'd not been in touch with for a long time.
- Talked about PLENK with a colleague at work who doesn't have any special interest in PLEs but understood what I was talking about in terms of using different media to connect and reach out to people across the globe.
- Posted more on Twitter this week than any previous week since I opened my account more than a year ago (I'm guessing).
- Learned (from a fellow PLENK participant) that there is a multi-user version of Tiddlywiki called TiddlySpace. I'm a certified Tiddlywiki fan.
- Learned at least one new word: rhizomatic.
- Set up a Google Alert for PLENK2010.
- And... many of the participants appear to be in the education field -- which makes sense. I'm coming at the PLE/PLN/PKM discussion from the perspective of lifelong learning and personal professional practice more than as a tool for students.
