Chih-Hsiung Tu on 01 Dec 09Common Question I: Aligned Connectivism Principles Please discuss three most important strategies of NLE/PLE in your unit, identify what aligned Connectivism principle(s) are, and discuss the assessments you integrate. Remember NLE/PLE strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies. If you don't remember Connectivism principles, please review our Lesson 1 readings. Hint: be sure to include four components of technology integrations: Content; Technology; Instructional Strategies; Assessment.

Adrianna Coronel on 07 Dec 09* Knowing where to find information; the links provided to learners to engage in unit content were informative and facilitated learning. * Diversity of opinions: Group collaboration within the unit lesson plans supported social networking and enabled learners to share ideas and personal knowledge. * A variety of learning tools; Web 2.0 tools provided allowed learners to collaborate in different forms. Having different approaches to communicate and share information facilitates learning since we all have different learning styles.

Adrianna, It was a distinct pleasure reviewing your unit. Overall you unit is well organized, easy to follow, contains great instructions and graphics. I do not know anything about dentistry, but I think if I participated in your unit I would learn a great deal. I will comment in individual sticky notes by the 4 categories suggested for giving feedback. Excellent job!!

Adrianna, In your unit, you included many web 2.0 tools such as: Blogger, Diigo, Google Docs, iGoogle, Twitter, Voice Thread, and Webspiration. In Lesson One, you incorporated Twitter for discussions. Group Discussions help create a connectivist structure to learning by allowing students to collaborate. You also had students create an iGoogle account, which allows them to create a central location for all of the tools required in the unit. A group blogger was also incorporated into the lesson. Students are asked to share the blog with the instructor and reflect what they learned, but it seemed the reflections were more individual than group. Your content on Dental Materials was well formed and you provided a lot of information, in very nice powerpoint presentations. It showed you put a lot of work into your unit. I feel you could have provided more assessment, but personal reflection is always a good form of assessment. I am somewhat confused on the blogger assignment, as it says to create a group blog, but the questions are more personal than group oriented. Melissa
