Building Windmills 09 was a special type of conference and it was an absolute pleasure to take part, help facilitate and contribute to one of the workshop sessions.
The conference was organised by the National CPD Team and Learning and Teaching Scotland. Over the two days there were about 70 delegates in attendance and a number of others joined us in GLOW and followed the conference on Twitter.
Jaye Richards and I were asked to deliver a workshop session on Personal Learning Networks. The slides that I used in my presentation are embedded below:

Great presentation; have shared it on my Facebook page. It's really important that we show pupils how to use these tools effectively and appropriately, to help develop and support their learning. This has to be done in the context of particular subjects ,and needs to be coordinated at school level, or else it becomes piecemeal and disjointed.
