#ETMOOC neighbourhood

2/3/2013

Last week I had a fascinating conversation with Ben Wilkoff and Sheri Edwards about the rewording of PLN from Personal Learning Network to Personal Learning Neighbourhood.  And it really struck a chord with me (see blog about that here).  Well, since that conversation, Ben and I had another conversation about Mr. Rogers and the power of a neighbourhood and Ben suggested we put together a little PLN/#etmooc theme song.  The recording of our duet is below and the lyrics to the song are below that.

For me, the making of the song was really a metaphor of the song's sentiment.  We are celebrating meaningful and professional connections by connecting and collaborating with each other.

It is one of the nicest things I have participated in online. 
Thank you all for being a part of my Personal Learning Neighbourhood.

It's a beautiful day for an #etmooc,
A beautiful day for some learning,
Would you connect?
Could you connect?

In my personal learning neighbourhood,
We blog, and we vlog and reflect what's good
Would you comment?
Could you comment?

I have always wanted to have a neighbour just like you,
Always wanted to take this learning path along with you

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Let’s tweet and lets chat, in a backchannel way,
Would you move in?
Could you my friend?
Won't you be my neighbour?

Won't you post,
Won't you link,
Please won't you be my neighbuor?
