Digital Learning Communities are online communities where people can share and learn together.There are so many Digital Learning Communities that can be joined. I have explored many and narrowed it down to a list of 5 DLCs that I would recommend joining.
1. Cosmo Learning
2.Open Study
-this is a great site where students can go to get help with their studies. With 24 hour access, students can log in and get help even if it is 1:00 am, the night before a test.
3.edWeb
-This is a site where teacher can share ideas in their content area. What a great way to share and collaborate with other teachers.
4.Khan Academy
-This is a free educational organization that provides information about subjects such as chemistry, biology, and physics. What started with a man helping his relatives through tutorials on you Tube has grown to provide a world-class education for free.
5.Discovery Education
-This DLC provides content to schools and educational agencies. This is a DLC that I would love to join. Not only is there a lot of content that is applicable to my work as a teacher, but it is fun, vibrant, and easily accessible.
As I explored the Social Bookmarking and Digital Learning Communities, I learned about a DLC called Cosmo Learning. I have explored Cosmo Learning in an effort to familiarize myself with the free learning opportunities available. They offer classes on everything from physics to art and many different educational documentaries as well.
Some Digital Learning Communities are more attractive and reputable than others. I found myself drawn to DLCs, specifically Cosmo Learning, because I was already familiar with it. If I hear someone mention a DLC or see it somewhere, I am more apt to join it. Word of mouth is very important in joining a DLC.
