Feeding the inner renaissance learner

I am savouring my birthday ipod (silver, nano) and just coming to grips with the rich range of tasty podcasts that are available. It seems to me that the ipod as a PLE is speaking to the eclectic, ‘renaissance woman’ impulse – i.e: exploring a wide range of related and unrelated intellectual (and entertaining) interests. My first subscriptions combined screenwriting interviews, history and grammar. Fantastic.

PLE meets Countdown

http://www.pontydysgu.org/2009/04/web-20-edupunk-and-acting/#comments
You have to love a subject where the theorists start name-slinging 70s&80s bands to define their point of views…This post and comments are a MUST read for FLEers who have enjoyed the odd dance around their handbag in the past. It certainly takes names like Stephen Downes and Graham Attwell out of academia and into real life when you can smell their record collections!

FLE References – quick find

I really like the way that Alex has linked to Ted’s references with each post – a great way to use the PLE as a book marking tool – as I haven’t been that organised – and also because it mirrors my filing style (chuck ‘em into the same drawer!) I decided to pop them all into one post here:
