Stephen Wheeler

I guess I've come to the end of this challenge - though my learning, of course, is only just beginning.

I've been into the idea of Edupunk for a long time without knowing what to call it, so it's good to have a challenge like this to put some structure to the idea, and Anya kamenetz's books, The Edupunk Guide and DIY U, have been invaluable.

As part of this challenge I have defined my path and created a plan of my proposed learning, which you can see at Visible Darkness, a website I built in Wordpress as a space to contain my work in an organized way.

Here you can also see a mind map of my initial Personal Learning Network - I'm sure this grow as I progress with my learning.

From this PLN I plan to nurture ongoing relationships that will, I hope, evolve into mentorship.

The next step is, of course, to get on with it and start progressing along my road to success.

  Comment:

  Stephen created a personal learning plan that would be the equivalent of a graduate level degree complete with a final dissertation on sustainable open education. It is a very impressive project, and the only suggestion thought of was putting the final objective or payoff at the top of the plan tab. Something like "a personal learning plan that is the equivalent of a Sustainable Open Source Ed Praxis/PhD program" --- Good Job and Best Wishes
