ReplyHey Lindy – Great to have a social fish drop by! Wikis are a great addition. My luck with them as a learning experience has been pretty limited so far, but you’ve inspired me to try to make better use of them. – Jeff
ReplyMy list is pretty similar, except I’m not really a podcast girl…
1) Blogs and tweets from people I trust
2) My own blog, where I synthesize what I learn
3) Google search for finding people I don’t already know/specific topics
4) Chats – whatever the tool (sometimes Twitter, sometimes Meebo, and many others)
5) Wikis – I love finding a good wiki on a topic, and perhaps even contributing to one. Wikis are really hard to do well and they require a very dedicated community of champions, so when you find a good one, it’s like a learning pot of gold.
Neel – Thanks for commenting. I have used Google custom search a whole lot – I definitely should more. Debated whether to include YouTube, but since I end up putting videos on my iPod more often than not, I just mixed it in with podcasts. I’ll be interested to see if anyone else comments on Twitter. Seems like people have fairly strong opinions about whether it is really a learning resource or not. – Jeff
Reply1 ) Google customized search engine – Easy to create one, lets me search within my top 25 odd learning resources.
2) Google RSS reader
3) Podcasts
4) Bookmarking with Diigo –
5) Videos on Youtube.com – Medicine is a very visual science, you need to see it to understand it.
Blogging is more of a teaching service( rather than learning), and twitter barely makes a learning resource.
