Search Find Learn

Michelle Gallen's NEW e-learning blog.

Why Search Find Learn?

Because I feel that Search, Find, Learn describes how we learn in the 21st century - we Search for what we need to know, we Find it, and we Learn it. This blog explores how technology is helping us do that.

Contributors wanted

Humans have been on a learning journey since the dawn of time. And it's never been so exciting. If you're using technology in an effective, experimental or innovative way, I'd love to hear from you. I can blog about your project/website/idea, or you can contribute a guest post. Send me an email describing what you're up to.

How the Book Destroyed Community

I found Dean Shareski through Mr Tweet. I enjoyed Dean's post on How the Book Destroyed Community on his blog ideasandthoughts.org. It's an interesting read, and follows the learning circle from scholar teaching students, to students learning from books, right up to now, where learners can read 'socially', using tools like Diigo to read a text and make note/mark text as they go for other readers. Check it out.

Muireann O'Keeffe let me know that DIT are running the 7th eLearning Summer School from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th June in DIT Aungier Street.

It's for anyone interested in e-learning. It covers strategies which will help you and your staff to make the most of current thinking and technologies.

Plans for this year's event are almost finalised and an outline programme for the week is now available.

The focus this year is “Get Flexible: Moving to an Online Environment” and it's expected that participants will complete the week with the basic elements of an online module in place.

Book online or call 4027866 for further information. The Summer School costs 395 euros for non-DIT staff. Numbers are strictly limited to 25.
