I had the pleasure of taking a wander up and down some hills with @dajbelshaw this weekend....

http://tidepodcast.org/?name=2018-09-06_tide-108.mp3 latest episode of Today In Digital Education podcast by @dajbelshaw and me on all sorts of things with a technology and educational anchor... I'm a teacher and lead digital strategy at my school. Dr Doug works for Moodle and is part of a cooperative consultancy for technology and strategic thinking. Jump in and hear me singing a dreadful rendition of the tide is high as the intro to #TIDE #TIDEpodcast

Introduced the concept of a PLN to my new A Level class this morning. I presented it as something that you don't have a choice about. Everybody has one. Be it your parents, teachers and classmates, the Internet at large, social media services. It simply exists. The question is are you aware of it and can you influence or build it to serve your purposes? And how might you do that? Mastodon? Twitter? Newspapers? Journals? Will be interesting to see how they respond
