Digital Learning Network

It really is up to you ! The key point is to meet up with a few other people interested in talking about using digital technology for learning, and do a brief summary: blog, video, tweet, etc.

Here are some ideas:

Tea and cakes ThinkDrink

Needless to say, you will need cakes for this one – a surefire way of getting people along. Or biscuits…

After work ThinkDrink

At a nearby pub or cafe, or even in a meeting room at work, if you must!

At the zoo ThinkDrink

This is rather a silly idea – but you never know… Thermos flasks, by the penguins, anyone?

.

Any particular structure or format?

Up to you, but you could start off by ask everyone to say a few words on what they are really enjoying about their current job (relating to Digital Learning), and what they are currently finding most frustrating – there is bound to be something!

Then you could just carry on talking and see what emerges, or structure it around a given topic.

.

Topics – what do we talk about?

Again, entirely up to you, but in case you are stuck for ideas:

Creating online learning resources

Getting funding for digital projects

Making the case for digital learning projects

Measuring impact, online audience research and analysis

Using social media / Web 2.0 for learning

Mobile learning (handhelds etc)

.

Tell other people about your ThinkDrink

Just summarise the topic you discussed for a wider audience. This can be very short, but decide in advance who will report on the ThinkDrink, and how:

• Short blog post
• Tweet
• 1 minute video on YouTube / Vimeo

Just ask us for help

For help on doing any of these, or if you would like to ask one of the DLnet committee to join your ThinkDrink, contact Martin on 0780 3580 727 or info@digitallearningnetwork.net
