Welcome to this P2PU course.  In this task we will get to know each other and discuss our perspectives on some key concepts regarding the 'Networked Teacher' and 'Networked Literacy & Fluency'.

The YouTube video "The Networked Student" was created by Wendy Drexler's high school students in 2008:

She wrote: "I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.  Anyone is free to use this video for educational purposes. You may download, translate, or use as part of another presentation"

The teacher role is described as: Learning Architect, Modeler, Learning Concierge, Connected Learning Incubator, Network Sherpa, Synthesizer and Change Agent.  The student will be able to "...navigate the future and creatively solve the worlds problems"

Task01:  Establish what tools that are relevant to you for creating, delivering and managing online course content.

Facilitators note: I will prepare demonstrations and and give you chance to practice these skills during the course, but the tools I suggest can be replaced with your own choise.  If you apply for certification as a 'Networked Teacher' it is the use of web tools in networked learning your peers will evaluate.
