Week 8

I chose to look at the August blog called “Creating Personal Learning Network” in Karl Fisch’s, “Best of the Fisch Bowl 2007.” This blog was interesting because personal learning networks can be created by students and teachers. These personal learning networks are places that people can go to learn new things. There are many different resources that can be used. The teachers have taught the students how to find information on different things. Students find different websites for one topic of interest. Also valid websites are learned and what websites are invalid. The students are to learn how to provide more valid websites for other people to look at.

This is a very good thing for students to learn. Every student needs to know that not every website is a good resource. This helps the students with the technology of the internet and how other people can change it. This assignment was created to have students create trustful websites and also added to the assignment the students were asked to put a little bit of personal touch to it. Now the students are more aware of the internet when they start to write a research paper or just browse blogs, Personal Learning Networks, and any other forms of media.
