Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt
to understand their experiences (Driscoll, 2000, p. 376).

Some questions to explore in relation to learning theories and the impact of
technology and new sciences (chaos and networks) on learning:
- How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in
the linear manner?
- What adjustments need to made with learning theories when technology
performs many of the cognitive operations previously performed by learners
(information storage and retrieval).
- How can we continue to stay current in a rapidly evolving information
ecology?
- How do learning theories address moments where performance is needed in the
absence of complete understanding?
- What is the impact of networks and complexity theories on learning?
- What is the impact of chaos as a complex pattern recognition process on
learning?
- With increased recognition of interconnections in differing fields of
knowledge, how are systems and ecology theories perceived in light of learning
tasks?
- How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in

Albert-László Barabási states that “nodes
always compete for connections because links represent survival in an
interconnected world” (2002, p.106).-
My prediction is that the schools that initiate and establish contact with other schools for authentic inquiry based learning using connectivist tools will gain greater immunity from irrelavence. Relavence will become increasingly important to parents/students when choosing venues for learning to occur. A colleague once said to me that academic results at the private schools she chose for her kids were not as important as the lifelong connections they made with friends with influence. Optimistically I disagreed, but the power of connectivism whilst not immediately apparent is related at the contextual core to this element of Darwinist process.

This is a great potential fundraiser site for yourself or your local non-profit. Say, a HS band/team/church wants to raise cash? Sign up to receive advert texts (must be 13yo) from 5¢ to $1 each. Every $25 raised, you get a check cut for yourself! You can donate the cash to your organization, OR to your own bank!! This is AWESOME if you have an unlimited texting plan, and great even if you don't!
Use KGTC for your invite code!
