Connected Learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Connected learning is a type of learning that integrates personal interest, peer relationships, and achievement in academic, civic, or career-relevant areas.[1] In addition, connected learning is an approach to educational reform keyed to the abundance of information and social connection brought about by networked and digital media. Advocates of connected learning posit that this approach leverages new media to broaden access to opportunity and meaningful learning experiences.
  • The connected learning model suggests that youth learn best when: they are interested in what they are learning; they have peers and mentors who share these interests; and their learning is directed toward opportunity and recognition

    Connected learning seeks to tie together the respected historical body of research on how youth best learn with the opportunities made available through today's networked and digital media. Connected learning is real-world. It's social. It's hands-on. It's active. It's networked. It's personal. It's effective. Through a new vision of learning, it holds out the possibility for productive and broad-based educational change.

    Interesting info. I didn't know about that. Thanks!
  •  
    Connected learning combines personal interests, supportive relationships, and opportunities. I'm currently working with the guys from https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/gradesfixer/ and we've recently written an article about connected learning. Its environments link learning in school, home, and community because learners achieve best when their learning is reinforced and supported in multiple settings.

Emphasis on the 'Experience' of Connected Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Here at "The Digital Arts Experience" we have a huge focus on connected learning in a non-competitive, hands-on, collaborative environment. I'd like to share with you a blog entry that our audio engineer, Emily, wrote up about the Connected Learning 'Experience' that students will have on a typical day at our learning facility. I welcome comments/feedback!

The merits of failing faster | opensource.com - 2 views

  •  
    Based on Ethan's "Cultural Change" Chat - Found this article....Promoting a culture that supports failure is a foreign concept to most people, but not for the panelists speaking about open government and business at CityCamp Raleigh. According to the panelists, who range from vice presidents of corporations to chief information officers of Raleigh government, there is a general consensus that failing faster provides a quicker path to innovation.

Beyond Rigor - Hybrid Pedagogy - 0 views

  • What is rigorous, then, is not process but our curious examination of the (unforeseen, unexpected) results and their effectiveness.
  • Engaged: Meaningful work
  • Better that we model our passion to know something thoroughly than to merely transmit content or knowledge.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Curious: A rigorous curiosity underpins the most fruitful work scholars do.
  • Dynamic
  • a series of iterative experiments.
  • a resolution to the inquiry
  • Derivative
  • attentive and alive, responsive
  • Critical: We can’t be afraid to critique our own circumstances, our own context.
  • Cormier suggests rhizomatic education — constructing and negotiating community knowledge through a series of interdependent nodes — as a pedagogical solution within quickly changing fields of information. In other words, by connecting to each other, no matter our expertise or station, knowledge grows.
  • We may provide the content, but this is no different today than scattering LEGOs on a table: what happens next is not up to us
  • from a traditional model of schooling to one more compatible with the realities of the digital landscape. Experimentation, inquiry, and play are both the research tools we must use to create online and hybrid classrooms, and also the methodologies best employed within those classrooms.
  • Testing and canonical content are less vital to the new media landscape than interactivity, play, and relevant application.
  • that students “show up,” be curious, collaborate, and contribute.
  • The digital has reminded us that learning happens unexpectedly, and so should our approach to learning be unexpectant. We must return play to education, to pedagogy, and to all scholarly practice.
  • Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: This book was produced by graduate students in a course with Cathy N. Davidson. The text of the work is itself rigorous, but what we find most intensely rigorous is the way the reader is brought into the book’s ongoing creation through simultaneous publishing on communal platforms like Rap Genius, HASTAC, GitHub, and Google Docs.

Webmaker Training: Teach the Web | Building | Concepts - 0 views

  • Building on the Web
  • Open Educational Resources (OER)
  • The Web is a massive, shifting repository of human knowledge. We should empower learners to engage this ecosystem and make the Web they want to use. Mozilla developed the Web Literacy Map to help you do just that.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • The Design Process
  • authentic assessments
  • experiential learning
  • In "Design Challenges" learners select a problem, conduct research with users, prototype a solution, give and receive feedback, and iterate to produce a final project.
  • Feedback is the glue of the Web
  • Constructive Criticism
  • Feedback is the basis for open source culture
  • Giving constructive criticism (and receiving it) is something that takes practice. We adhere to “if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all” because we don't believe that our opinions are necessary. We forget that criticism doesn't have to lead to complete redesign or reformulation.
  • delivering feedback
  • We also tend to spend time focusing on our own things, rather than looking at other people's ideas and thinking about making them better.
  • We ask for feedback and expect to get some, but we rarely give our feedback freely – we wait until our specific feedback is requested or until the work directly affects our own. We all know how fantastic it is to get good, constructive feedback on something we're working on. What if we all took more time to give feedback like that to others? What would happen?
  • the Web is, by its nature, collaborative
  • the power of the open Web comes from our ability to share. In the learning experiences we design, when we create spaces to share our work with each other, we model the way the Web works. These complex social spaces encourage freedom of expression and honesty.
  • Collaboration builds empathy

Connected Learning Principles | Connected Learning - 0 views

  • At the core of connected learning are three values:
  • Equity
  • Full Participation
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Interest-powered
  • In order to realize these values, connected learning seeks to harness and integrate the learning that young people pursue in the spheres of interest, peer relations, and academics based on the following three learning principles:
  • Social connection
  • Peer-supported
  • Academically oriented
  • Connected learning builds on what we’ve long known about the value and effectiveness of interest-driven, peer-supported, and academically relevant learning; but in addition, connected learning calls on today’s interactive and networked media in an effort to make these forms of learning more effective, better integrated, and broadly accessible. The following design principles involve integrating the spheres of interests, peers, and academics, and broadening access through the power of today’s technology.
  • Shared purpose
  • Production-centered
  • Openly networked
  • The principles of connected learning weren’t born in the digital age, but they are extraordinarily well-suited to it.

Connecting Youth Interests Via Libraries | DMLcentral - 0 views

  • Connecting Youth Interests Via Libraries
  • Connected learning is learning that is interest-driven, socially connected, and tied to school achievement and real world opportunity. And, libraries are smartly becoming hubs for such learning.
  • Libraries, which have long been centers of community activity, are uniquely situated to become a nexus of connected learning because their mission centers on personalized and interest-driven learning. They are another space, besides school and home, that allows activities and practices to meld together. As guides to online information and technical literacy, librarians often already are guides to connected learning
