A shark at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. Recorded with a Flip Mino, March 26, 2009. Originally uploaded to YouTube to have music (La Mer, by Claude Debussy) added, then downloaded and uploaded again to Vimeo.
Movie from Vimeo added with embedded code. Notes by Carl Anderson:
“This short film is an introduction to the rather abstract but powerful idea emerging regarding using social media tools (web 2.0) to build personal learning networks. In this film I focus on how I use my personal learning network for teacher professional development but the same strategy could be applied to any form of learning. Teachers could have their students create their own personal learning networks for research projects and professionals can create their own for learning about their field or networking.”
