Is your online profile safe? Watch the following video recording of the live online discussion and decide for yourself.

February 16, 2009 Dear All,
This week is about wrapping up what we hope to be just the beginning of many more interactions. On Saturday February 21, 2009 at 9PM GMT there will be an online session where we invite you to create a short presentation / a resource/ a video/ etc reflecting your personal views about this last 6 weeks of interaction. We are really interested in knowing about what this journey has meant to you and where you want to go from here. Hopefully, we will keep threading this learning path in company, and many collaborative adventures will emerge from this experience. Let's regard this week not as the end of something, but rather the starting of a new phase we are about to enter. But before we do that, it would be useful to think in retrospective about this workshop: how far we have come and what we have conquered as part of our learning goals, etc.

As usual, we welcome any type of artifacts reflecting YOUR personal learning while taking part in this AWESOME group! Remember, learning is an open road which gets more interesting the more intersections we find. After all, the intellectual growth of any learner is also related to the choices he/she gets to make according with the situations he/she comes across his/her journey!

Hello Everyone,

Two more days to go to the final challenge of the workshop on the safety of online profiles. Join the live online debate: How safe are the online profiles we create? Join one of the two featured groups if you haven't already, decide on the speakers, and convince us of your position.

Thank you.

Here are some tips on how to start challenge #3 with a short reflection: http://profdigitalid.pbwiki.com/profile At the end of the week, we will host a live online event so we can share and reflect on our explorations! Have Fun! January 25, 2009 Dear all, This message is just to give you a couple of tips regarding the ning activity. We have noticed that it is becoming particular hard to keep up with the flow of activity, especially since we are all busy and checking and contributing to the Ning at different times of the day. One of the things we are finding particular useful is the use of RSS feeds to keep up with everyone’s participation. We just thought to share this with you in case you would like to give it a try. Here's a short explanation on RSS feed Here's the RSS feed URL for the Digifolios' latest activity (a link to this can also be found at the bottom of the ‘latest activity’ box, on the left hand side of ning’s main page). Evo2009pdi Team January 24, 2009 Tonight's synchronous talk was just a blast. A lot of discussions and personal experiences about online identity. It was a fabulous get together and we just hope there will be more like this next week! For those who haven't been able to make it, please have a look at the recording. Thanks for connecting! Live Online Event We are looking forward to seeing all the members of digifolios at the live online event tonight Saturday January 24 at 8PM GMT We are going to reflect on the last two weeks and the weeks to come. Correction: Please note the change in the time of today's live online session. It is at 8PM GMT at WiZiQ. Please check your timezone here. The storytelling session was incredible. Thank you for joining and making it so special. Here's the recording of the session via TipCam and BlipTV for those who were unable to attend: January 23, 2009 Live Online Meetings for Members of Digifolios Join our two live online meetings tonight at WiZiQ at 9PM GMT and tomorrow at 8PM GMTat WiZiQ. Task for Week 2 We hope you have been having a great time finding out a bit more about yourselves as well as about others. The activities are very important as they help bond and connect people in a special way, and teach us more about our personal traits, which will also be included in our professional portfolios. As far as we can tell, you all have been exploring different learning spaces together – from google docs to flickr. You certainly radiate creativity! Now it's time for our weekly task. This time we want to know how colorful your personal learning is,because our approach to learning is strongly determined by our personal traits as well as by the environments that surround us. Hence, we would like to ask you to think about the different agents that influence your learning the most and visually represent your personal learning, i.e, what are the learning spaces/ communities, etc that mostly contribute to your professional development and learning? Please add a reflection to the work you have done so far. Once again, there are no rules on how you want to represent and reflect on your learning self. This is entirely up to you and creativity is always welcome (as if you did not know already). Although the idea of PLE is commonly associated with online interactions, the fact is that our PLE is most likely to have a face-to-face component, too. Both contribute to our professional ID. Here you can find an example of what we mean. Cris' visualization of her PLE: http://tinyurl.com/8nul24 - we know, we know...! she was not feeling particularly creative when she did that! LOL A fairly good, compact reading about Personal Learning Environments can be found here: http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Personal_learning_environment For more resources access the wiki http://profdigitalid.pbwiki.com/Readings and the Bookmaking Group: http://groups.diigo.com/groups/evo2009pdi We look forward to the fun! The Digifolios Team January 22, 2009 Hope you are enjoying Challenge #2 and the task for week 2. We will discuss weeks 1-2 and other topics related to digital IDs, digifolios and personal learning spaces in a live online workshop on Saturday January 24, 2009 at 8 GMT (majority rule). Everyone is invited, so come!!

Building a professional ID in the 21st century

We live in an era of individual “personalization and customization”. The read and write web has helped develop a new concept - “do it yourself and your own way” . The phenomenon has had implications in our society at different levels - from the way people learn to the new, emerging jobs and employment needs. The workshop aims to help members become aware of the way the web can empower the individual not only to learn, but also to present what, how and with whom he/she learns.

The workshop is aimed at teachers and trainers who already have some initial experience with web 2.0 environments and online communities and who would like to explore the experience in depth and in a collaborative way.
