My List: A Collection on "Theory-Supported Social Networking" | Diigo - 7 views

  •  
    I shared all of these resources individually before I realized a list would create less clutter and be easier to share with others. So, sorry for the redundancy -- here is my list. I tried to make sure all resources were available for free and didn't require library login access, though there were some great articles I didn't include for that reason. I'll be interested to see how all of our resources compare.

    Gretel, I posted a list first. But upon reading the assignment parameters, we are supposed to post each link individually anyway!

7 things you should know about... Personal Learning Environments - 7 views

  •  
    gives 7 things to consider in personal learning networks; what they are (a learner-centric approach to learning), major universities who utilize PLEs, why they are significant (extension of classroom learning) and some of the downsides (constant need to maintain, organize, and grow learning networks), where PLEs are headed and their implications in education (deeper engagement with content)

    I love Educause! They do great work, and this quick overview of PLE shows why. Great overview from a great organization.
  •  
    An overview of the Personal Learning Environment.  Begins with a great example of the power of a PLE.  It then breaks down the idea of PLE.  Excellent starter resource on the topic.
  •  
    This article gives a brief overview of personal learning environments and discusses the following seven topics: 1) What is it? 2) Who is doing it? 3) How does it work? 4) Why is it significant? 5) What are the downsides? 6) Where is it going? 7) What are the implications for teaching and learning?
  •  
    The entire Educause 7 things you should know about . . . series is fantastic. This gives you a quick, clear explanation of PLE's that anyone could understand.
  •  
    With topics like what is it, who's doing it, why is it significant, where is it going, and what are the future implications for education, this article provides a good primer for someone who is being introduced to PLEs for the first time.
  •  
    I love the simple straight forward layout of this article. Educause is pretty cool. 7 really valid points to consider. I especially like learning about schools that are utilizing PLEs.
  •  
    I think the 'who's doing it' section is very useful. It's helpful to see how it is being implemented.
  •  
    Teaching us about PLEs through a story and simple bulleted points is an ingenious idea to get straight to the point. Rather than a long dissertation, writing a short article can sometimes be more powerful.

  • While not all societies channel sufficient resources into support for educational activities and institutions, all at the very least acknowledge their centrality—and for good reasons
  • within a few years they can read, write, calculate, and act (at least often) in culturally-appropriate ways
  • education also serves as a social-sorting mechanism and undoubtedly has enormous impact on the economic fate of the individual.
  • education equips individuals with the skills and substantive knowledge that allows them to define and to pursue their own goals, and also allows them to participate in the life of their community as full-fledged, autonomous citizens
  • societal perspective, where the picture changes somewhat
  • groups depend for their continuing survival on educational processes, as do the larger societies and nation-states of which they are part
  • The great social importance of education is underscored, too, by the fact that when a society is shaken by a crisis, this often is taken as a sign of educational breakdown; education, and educators, become scapegoats.
  • education as transmission of knowledge versus education as the fostering of inquiry and reasoning skills that are conducive to the development of autonomy
  • the question of what this knowledge, and what these skills, ought to be
  • how learning is possible, and what is it to have learned something—two sets of issues that relate to the question of the capacities and potentialities that are present at birth, and also to the process (and stages) of human development and to what degree this process is flexible and hence can be influenced or manipulated
  • liberal education and vocational education
  • personal development or education for citizenship
  • distinction between educating versus teaching versus training versus indoctrination
  • education and maintenance of the class structure of society, and the issue of whether different classes or cultural groups can—justly—be given educational programs that differ in content or in aims
  • whether or not all children have a right to state-provided education
  • relation between education and social reform, centering upon whether education is essentially conservative, or whether it can be an (or, the) agent of social change
  • These features make the phenomena and problems of education of great interest to a wide range of socially-concerned intellectuals, who bring with them their own favored conceptual frameworks—concepts, theories and ideologies, methods of analysis and argumentation, metaphysical and other assumptions, criteria for selecting evidence that has relevance for the problems that they consider central, and the like.
  • for although education can occur in schools, so can mis-education (as Dewey pointed out), and many other things can take place there that are educationally orthogonal (such as the provision of free or subsidized lunches, or the development of social networks); and it also must be recognized that education can occur in the home, in libraries and museums, in churches and clubs, in solitary interaction with the public media, and the like
  •  
    Education affects society as a whole; when society fails, education is often to blame; education is a social-sorting tool that affects societies and culture; social networks allow education to take place anywhere

  •  
    Development of connectivist instructional tools used for college teaching. The theory can lead to learner-centered education. Instructors can step back and bring learners to the forefront. "Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories."
  •  
    I also found this article and liked it. As I read it I was trying to think of ways to apply to secondary education instead of higher education. Good work.

  •  
    This document is a research paper Beth Transue completed for EdTech 504 on Connectivism Theory and Information Literacy. It demonstrates the alignment between Connectivism principles and ACRL Information Literacy standards, and recommends that librarians consider Connectivism learning theory when creating information literacy instruction sessions.

Personal Learning Environments and Personal Learning Networks - 4 views

  •  
    This article provides an introduction and overview for personal learning environments and digital learning pedagogy.
  •  
    Beth, good find I find that I very much agree with Markum in that one of the "best ways to make an impact on learners is to mentor them through project-based learning." Learning shouldn't be passive or a spectator sport. Students that are involved, hands on, through projects applying the materials that they are learning are more likely to master the concepts in my experience.
  •  
    This article touches on one of the most important aspects of the discussions on personal learning environments. Students and educators have to be taught and mentored when it comes to internet usage and how to sift all of the information and resources that are available.Teachers who imagine they can just let the students lose and all will be well will have many unforeseen difficulties.

    This tool has been the best thing I have added to my classroom this year. Even better it is free! I can easily check books in and out by scanning with my ipad and I get a weekly overdue list. I love this app!
