Who to Follow where to look for the new ?





I had one of these brain dump conversations this morning on Skype that spanned change initiatives , technology,  and the sharing and networking of learning materials among other topics.

I've been around a bit - here is a quick guide to folks that I think are worth keeping an eye on in Scotland and across UK currently.

I hope this is useful and I'm happy to add folks - probably lots of omissions. Surely there is  a useful google.doc or other crowd sourced directory out there by now ?

I've tried to make list one of people rather than organisational accounts.

This with a focus on 16+ learning formal or informal.

First of all who to follow on twitter or to grab an rss feed from their blog.

JISC Folks  are always a good place to start .

I hope this is useful - especially if you are still trying to explain to staff 'what is the point ' of twitter or other social software tools in developing a personal learning network.
