Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a continuation of the #JuneEdTechChallenge and is David Hopkins's contribution for June 6. His 'top tip' for continuing professional development (CPD) is "to use your network to find the activity, use your network to stay motivated, and use the network to share the outcome." Others, he says, "will recommend Twitter, MOOCs, or LinkedIn Learning, or some other 60 second CPD type activity." My top tip is this: create something. It doesn't matter what, it doesn't even matter whether it's related to your profession, though I suppose that helps some. Catching up: for June 4, like JR Dingwall, I wondered whether KIT is some kind of UK acronym. Maybe Key Information Technology? If so, it's my new Alienware gaming/work station. Jume 5: my fave EdTech gif? Network-brain (pictured, and see here). June 7: favourite talk or event? I don't like picking winners so I'll name one of my own: Speaking in LOLCats, Take 2. And June 8, today: shiny gadgets I like: has to be my camera, a Nikon D750, and assorted lenses.
