Programming Is the New Literacy | Edutopia - 1 views

  • I believe the single skill that will, above all others, distinguish a literate person is programming literacy, the ability to make digital technology do whatever, within the possible one wants it to do -- to bend digital technology to one's needs, purposes, and will, just as in the present we bend words and images.

#CCK11 Why Connectivism - and social networks are important? | Suifaijohnmak's Weblog - 2 views

  • Connectivism could benefit
  • all other learners who would like to develop higher order learning skills in their life-long learning journeys.
  • As most adult learners could be confused by the complexity of learning whilst immersed in learning networks (internet and webs), especially if they are exposed to such learning environment as “novice”, some would doubt about their perceived “digital migrant” status,

  • most students would only sense such connectivist learning as an additional “component” to their often “congested” learning curriculum

What the science of human nature can teach us : The New Yorker - 1 views

  •  
    We are living in the middle of a revolution in consciousness. Over the past few decades, geneticists, neuroscientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and others have made great strides in understanding the inner working of the human mind. Far from being dryly materialistic, their work illuminates the rich underwater world where character is formed and wisdom grows. They are giving us a better grasp of emotions, intuitions, biases, longings, predispositions, character traits, and social bonding, precisely those things about which our culture has least to say. Brain science helps fill the hole left by the atrophy of theology and philosophy.

It's not as separate as it sounds: The power of networks #CCK11 - TEACHING IN HIGHER ED... - 1 views

  • At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse these networks
  • social network analysis
  • to discover how A, who is in touch with B and C, is affected by the relation between B and C” (John Barnes)

  • my undergraduate students seem to intuitively get the idea behind the power of networks
  • perhaps not that they fully realize just how interconnected we all are.
  • they don’t seem to have any idea what they might do to find and foster connections beyond those that were established for them

The Love of Triangle: C.I.T | Connektd to Explore - 0 views

  • Interactions with one’s artifact increase intrinsic motivation and create connection between people and knowledge.
  • I have introduced in the Plearn blog the principle of ELIS Wheel : Explore, Learn, Interact and Socialize in the learning process. We need to create something and share it with others in the cloud and we need to interact to enhance intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in the crowd’s spirit.

Unwritten Knowledge Vs. Unthinking | Connektd to Explore - 0 views

  • We need to demystify the complexity of learning in some areas and make it accessible to everybody by presenting it in different shapes and colors, in different terms and formats so that people in all level take advantage in developing their learning
  • The lady of wisdom has so much unwritten knowledge and experience that it could fill a library when ‘unveiled’ Same thing will happen for “Unwritten Knowledge when it become Written”.

Connectivism and the modern learner « E-Learning Provocateur - 3 views

  • I must admit that I struggled with some of the basic concepts when I first read Siemens’ paper, and I found the lack of practical examples frustrating.

      I too find George's work difficult to understand without examples. Ryan's blog post certainly helps me to better understand the concepts involved.

Connectivism: Why faculty don't have to be quite so concerned about Wikipedia #CCK11 - ... - 1 views

  • There are two goals supported in the connectivism learning theory, according to Downes:  The ability to grow and foster a network of connections.  The ability to develop a successful, robust, trustworthy network.
  • That makes what Siemens calls the “know-where” knowledge (“the understanding of where to find [needed] knowledge”)  much more important than “know-how” and “know-what.”
  • perhaps it is time for us to begin contributing to Wikipedia and adding links to those sources we wish our students would also visit in a quest to solve problems and expand their learning.
  •  
    As I begin a class on a learning theory referred to as Connectivism, I consider how greatly our collective abilities to access to information have transformed in recent years, while our teaching methods in the university environment have barely changed at all. I ponder how much more advanced our abilities are to locate and share information, while our educational methods in the university setting have barely progressed beyond the overhead projector.

#cck11: Connectivism and Social Constructivism - what's the difference? | Life through ... - 3 views

  •  
    Blog by Lindsay Jordan
  •  
    So what distinguishes a connectivist perspective from social constructivism? The difference is fairly subtle. As far as I can see, connectivism resonates with similar principles as social constructivism does, but acknowledges a greater degree of complexity in the nature of knowledge and learning, enabled by advances in technology.

Networked student - 10 Translation(s) | dotSUB - 2 views

  •  
    The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher.
