Sounds from the Bazaar

What is ‘Sounds from the Bazaar?’

It is the new regular podcast being produced for this site.

The first issue is on Personal Learning Environments.

You can listen here by clicking the link: podcast

OK I know it is not actually on the Bazaar site but hell - this is Web 2.0

This podcast is about the ideas behind the Personal Learning environment. It refers to the origins of the PLE, in dissatisfaction with older forms of educational technology and concerns over institutional control. However it goes on to question whether the PLE is really the answer, suggesting the use of freely available Web 2 tools for learning might offer a better way forward.
