What does it mean to be a Networked Teacher? (Formulate your personal learning outcome)

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'.

As you can see in the illustration the outcome of the performance as a Networked Teacher is hard to detect.  In this task you will formulate how you will measure success in your personal situation.

Facilitators note:  I will demonstrate my skills as a Networked Teacher by creating a course in WikiEducator.  Deliver it with help of audio introduction and screen cast demonstrations.  It will use pedagogical templates to manage the content.  To share the learning resource I will use the eLearning XHTML editor (eXe)

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"
