Hello. I did not attend PLE2010- but hope to attend the next PLE conference. I am interested in the concept of the convergence of ePortfolios and PLEs. Just wondered who else has been pondering convergences to more holistic frameworks. Cheers Len

Hello everyone ;) thinking ... thinking ... thinking Wondering if we should use this "PLE Conference" strength and try to build something more stronger... I don't know exactly what do you, but I think we should do something :) We could try to build a collective blog, a community, a blog/site aggregator... or something really different... something "un-" :) Please tell me if it is possibly or that I'm just dreaming...

María José García Ruiz: It would be great!

Cristina Costa: I have a suggestion and yes it's just a suggestion. I am not sure I have teh stregth to join another network and be active in it (and that is probably just me!) but I might gather enough energy to 'meet' sporadically on a given time/date you know...I... [read more]

Carlos Santos: Great idea Cristina! Count me in.

Here the poster I presented at the Conference!

Cristina Costa: thanks for that. Can you give us a summary of the contents of the poster? ...or maybe you have posted more details somewhere. A blogpost?! just wondering where we could find more info about it. ;-)

Daniel Villar Onrubia: I've included the text again, with a bit of editing. A Graphic Tool for Self-Reflection on Digital Practices and Visualisation of one’s PLEs - This is the text explaining the diagram. The Self-Reflection Tool on display serves a central role in the M... [read more]

Alec and I would like to ask for your help with the opening keynote: Alec Couros and Graham Attwell have been paired together as co-keynotes at the PLE Conference in Barcelona, Spain, July 8-9. The organizers have asked us to do something different than a typical keynote, so we have been thinking about an unKeynote format. In keeping with the theme of the conference (PLEs), we’re hoping that individuals in our network would be willing to help us ... [read more]

Cristina Costa: cool badge... you guys are too creative for me! I am still haven't finished mine. It is work in progress... :-S

Ilona Buchem: nice badge design, will try to get some inspiration ... on the plane to Barcelona? Hmm clouds, stars, this could be something ;)

fernando albuquerque costa: thanks. i love yours too

Wanna join me and José Mota? The workshop will explore and discuss the possibilities of using Twitter as the heart of a Personal Learning Environment and how, through Twitter and its related applications, one can develop and maintain an effective network and an aggregated online presence. Due to the huge potential of Twitter as a network building tool, connecting people and resources, it can be construed as the “pump” that keeps the flow going, f... [read more]

Many of us are arriving to Barcelona early this week. In fact there are some already on their way ( hello @gcouros :-)! ) If you follow @PLE_BCN and @lindacq http://twitter.com/lindacq/status/17633449247 you've probably heard that there will be an informal opening of the conference on Wednesday after the ROLE pre-workshop. It's more of a get-together...just to start breaking the ice! We will probably go somewhere for a meal too so do show up if y... [read more]

Just wondering why my Twitter feed is not showing in my profile. Do you guys log in here with your Twitter nick? I have seen that option, but I log with my email, maybe that is the difference? Not a big deal, but I'm just curious. [[[Never mind, I got it now]]]

Cristina Costa: if you log in with your crowdvine username I think you need to activate the feed ...

Evaristo Ovide: Thanks Cristina. I got it after exploring a bit. I tried to close the thread adding [[[never mind, I got it]]]. Thanks for your help :-)

Gadzooks - Crowdvine tells me my network is empty. How does this make me feel (sob). No, I'm Ok.... really, I'm alright... Hello everyone. Looking forward to meeting you all in Barca!

Cristina Costa: I've added you as a fried. Still waiting for a response....! OK, it was just two secs ago... :-) Looking forward to seeing you in Barça! ;-)

Steve Wheeler: Thank you so much - I don't feel so out in the cold now. Will be nice to meet up with you in Barca in a few days :-)

Steve Wheeler: Thank you dear. It's been a while since we last met up, so looking forward to catching up with all your news :-)

Dear all, The countdown is on. We are less than three weeks away from the 'D" day. Who would have thought? We started planning this a year ago and it seemed so, so far off. But now the time has come. We are finalising the programme, which we will soon publish online. As you might be aware, we have challenged our keynote speakers to abandon the traditional keynote format in favour of a more interactive presentation which would both match their per... [read more]

In our conference blurb we said this event would create a space for open and informal discussions about PLEs and education. Well, we meant it! And now here we are! :-) The organising committee has got together to re-think the keynote format. After many neurons gone... we think we have come up with a way of getting both face to face and online participants actively involved in the keynote sessions. None of that 50minute lecture +10 minute question... [read more]
