The claim made by connectivism is that concepts are plastic; that the associations implicated in a concept at one time will be different from those at another time, as the entire network of connections grows and changes. The warning offered by connectivism is that these changes inform our own understanding as well as our students, so that (for example) what is intuitive and obvious to us, is murky and mysterious to another, or what is important and urgent to them may be seen as trivial and irrelevant to us. And further, that while this represents change, it does not necessarily represent progress or development.
