Update: Stephen Downes wrote for the Change MOOC, online course:

Because participants are using a course tag, #change11, you do not need to depend on us to find content. You can do it yourself by searching for the tag. Here are some sample searches:

- #change11 Google search
- #change11 search on Delicious

Notice that you can just bookmark these links and be able to search for new content whenever you want with the click of a button.

Yes, I am Searching for Content and Not for Bloggers

Whatever makes a post or blog a gem is that blogger’s ability to express what other people wish they could, but they can’t. Yet.

How does all of that networked learning start to happen?
I think there is a simple structure:
Content first, people second.

Claudia, I usually find better content by following Google Blog Search and Delicious Tags feeds than following individual blog feeds. Yes, I am searching for content and not for bloggers.

But I will follow blogs from my friendly connections. I need to keep up with what they are posting to comment, learn and teach them.

I am also always searching for new connections for my PLN (Personal Learning Network). Newbies, can become the future top bloggers. It’s better to already have them earlier as connections in your network

Finding Useful Feeds For My PLE

emapey — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:40:56 +0000

I have found there are few blogs I want to follow. Blogs usually come and go and those that remain live, many times have a high noise to signal ratio, their posts are not always of good quality and are sometimes off topic for my needs

There are some Google Blog Search and Delicious searches I follow. By following I mean, subscribing to the RSS feeds and using a feed reader to keep updated with new posts.These feeds from searches let me find ALL posts from ANY blog about the topics I am following. The problem is finding the right searches that give good results (good signal to noise ratio)

Google Blog Searches are always on my PLE. Online conferences and courses are always tagged and it’s, then, really easy to search for the tag to keep updated, like I did in My PLE for the CCK08 Connectivism Course

You should follow your friends blogs, though. They are the most important connections in your network and so, you should keep up with their blogging.

emapey — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:39:27 +0000

This is my start page, my Personal Learning Environment, PLE, (CCK08: We’re creating our own PLEs, huh?), my list of aggregated resources for the CCK08 Connectivism online course. It is a real example of a PLE, Personal Learning Environment.

Although we received perhaps too much help from the teachers:
Daily News: The Daily
Moodle LMS: Course: Connectivism and Connective Knowledge
Participants: CCK08: Participants
Blog: Connectivism & Connective Knowledge
Wiki: Connectivism – LTCWiki
Students’ Blogs: cck08′s Blogs

I think that by using my PLE for this course I could follow the conversations and make connections:

Twitter CCK08: cck08 – Twitter Search
Wordpress CCK08: Cck08 Blogs Posts on WordPress
Delicious Bookmarks: Recent cck08 Bookmarks on Delicious

Using Del.icio.us in Education

emapey — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:57:05 +0000

I think that Del.icio.us is one of the most useful Web 2.0 tools. It facilitates:
- saving and accessing your bookmarks online
- promoting your own sites (you bookmark in Del.icio.us your best pages, don’t you?)
- finding bookmarks from other users on your network (they are searching for relevant sites for you)
- networking with other users who are in your network.
- reading your network’s bookmarks, since Del.icio.us provides convenient RSS feeds.
- use a “profile” tag, such as emapey’s bookmarks tagged with “profile” on del.icio.us to feature your sites, best posts and articles and important sites linking to you.

List of useful links to resources for using Del.icio.us:

- Del.icio.us help
- Use Del.icio.us to Create Your Eportfolio
- The Del.icio.us Lesson – Bokardo
- Del.icio.us Is The Recommendation Service For The Internet
- Know When People Bookmark You on Del.icio.us
- Tracking My Own Published Articles
- How to Analyze your Site with Del.icio.us
- Who Says Librarians (and Teachers) Don’t Like Tags
- “Interview With Experts: What’s so cool about del.icio.us?”
- Social Bookmarking with del.icio.us
- del.icio.us as a PR measurement tool
- Tips for Using Delicious In (Doctoral) Research
- del.icio.us libraries
- A discussion of strategies for managing social bookmarking teaching and learning activities (using del.icio.us)
- How Delicious is Changing Academic Research
- Visualizing Del.icio.us Networks
- del.icio.us Tips, Part-2: day-to-day use
- A reputation economy via “via:”?
- Del.icio.us Network Explorer

You can start building your del.icio.us network. Join the EdTechTalk Del.icio.us network. You can also continue networking by joining some fans in the del.icio.us/network/edtechtalk

These are my emapey’s bookmarks on del.icio.us
These are my emapey’s del.icio.us network bookmarks
Note how via “My Network”, I now have a stream of bookmarks from some Del.icio.us users I have selected. These users are searching the internet and bookmarking useful sites and pages for me !!!!!

I want to credit my friend FCEBLOG for some of the ideas included in this post.
