Below are the slides and links from my talk today on Nomadic Learning: Building Personal Learning Networks from the Scottish Education Leadership Summer School.
I have embedded some YouTube Videos into the presentation to explain a bit more about some of the tools that I mentioned during the talk. They are not the same video clips that I used but hopefully will give you a clearer explanation of how some of these applications can be used to build powerful learning networks with the education community.
