USER-GENERATED TAG CLOUDS are a Pinboard resource and I'm excited in the knowledge that I can become a better aggregator. Knowing how to identify, save and share an information aggregate is a core skill of a knowledge worker. The process forms part of a Learning to Learn module that is evolving at the Limerick Institute of Technology. I've my own view of what a Personal Learning Network (PLN) should involve and I'm spending time at the DIT e-learning summer school talking with peers who may inform my judgment as I discuss my journey in developing a PLN. At the moment, I'm aggregating a lot of the flow behind my blog Inside View to allow smart aggregators like Pinboard to distill the value from the bookmarks that get hoovered by the Pinboard slurper. I generated a May Tagcloud and attached it to this blog post because I realise I must clean up my tagging to make it more intelligible for the casual observer. I'm going to harvest what I have (more than 5000 bookmarks) and clean up the cryptic x_ref references so people can see at a glance the key terms and hashtags that drive my learning.
I am Topgold on Pinboard.in.
