Learning in the 21st century is all about networks and the connections we can make to other learners and teachers both in our communities and around the globe. But being literate in this new learning environment requires more than knowing how to read and write. It requires us to edit, publish, collaborate, create and connect in the process of building our own personal learning spaces. How do we build our own networks in effective, ethical and safe ways? How do we incorporate the characteristics of autonomy, diversity, interactivity and openness (Downes) into our own learning practice and, in turn, model and teach that to our children? We'll explore the growing importance of "network literacy" in our learning lives.
