Between the Chapters #18 @vconnecting with @rjhogue, @bali_maha, @autumm, @friedelitis & @hj_dewaard

25 Years of Ed Tech

In this Between the Chapters episode, Laura talks to the co-directors of Virtually Connecting -- Maha Bali, Autumm Caines, Helen DeWaard, Christian Friedrich, and Rebecca Hogue about all the things related to networked learning. This group unpacks the differences between personal learning environments (PLEs) and personal learning networks (PLNs), to reflect on how these spaces, places, and more importantly the people in these communities mean to them. We dig into what is in and beyond Chapter 18 related to learning environments, revolutions, online communities, and more!

• Personal learning environment (PLE) - spaces, places, tools, technologies, process, systems, platforms, or devices
