bbridgewater019 on 12 Jun 17This resource is a personal account of one teacher's usage of personal learning networks that supports the theory and nature of doing so as well as helps to create a working definition of a PLN for the reader. Additionally, this resource features how the educator used social networking to engage in personal learning networks as well as an example of overcoming the objections of skeptics to such practices.
PLNs to Inspire Lifelong Learning - 2 views
-
The article opens with the idea of teachers being or becoming life long learners to achieve success, satisfaction, and empowerment in their position. This is then promoted by the idea of using PLNs to participate in the role of life long learner. PLNs are then described through a variety of scenarios including a general definition as well as additional adjective descriptions and elaborations such as engaging, exciting, and virtual friendships. How to develop a PLN follows the definition with the gains or benefits of forming PLNs wrapping up this resource. When reading through the gains it is clear that learning is the overall anticipated outcome whether it be: anytime, anywhere, with anyone, self directed, informal, formal, collaborative, or life long.

Connectivism Making Classrooms Obsolete - 3 views

Though this article does not outwardly define or name connectivism theory, the entire argument regarding learning that is presented in the article is rooted in connectivist theory. For example it states, "each student "constructs" knowledge based on his or her own past experiences." These experiences are then explored in comparison to the current system of learning and connectivism theory is supported by looking at the classrooms of today and how they could be altered to better suit students based from this theory.
What is a PLN - Marc-André Lalande's take - 1 views

This defines and simplifies the idea of a Personal Learning Network -
A quick PLN overview that describes many of the aspects of what we do here in this class. The presenter offers many insights on how to be a member of a PLN, and some of the tools that are available to us. I like that he tells me that I can change levels of participation whenever I want, and should feel free to just lurk if preferred.

Another great youtube video that describes connectivism in layman terms. I like this video because it explains easily how connectivism works by connecting people together through social sites to help people learn. The video also gives a brief description of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. A great find! - ...1 more comment...

Joanna, I loved this YouTube video! It simplified Connectivism and Bob was fun! I loved when he made the connection. Thank you for sharing. -
I agree with Matt above. This is a short and informative introduction to connectivism that touches on the major concepts of learning theory as well as implications in our time.

Understanding and Creating Professional Learning Networks - YouTube - Miles MacFarlane - 2 views

A brief video discussing PLNs that provides a sample scenario of PLNs. -
An informative look at how PLNs work and the benefits of a PLN. Told from the perspective of a scenario in which the PLN is not initially accepted as a valuable tool of learning, the creator of this video shows that a PLN offers: 1. user ownership, 2. user independence, 3. user self-determination. The video goes on to show the benefits of collaborating through PLNs.
-
This video offers a decent introduction to PLNs. I like that it approaches the topic from the perspective of someone who is skeptical and encourages everyone to become a life long learner.

A cute powtoon video discussing the benefits of Connectivism as a learning theory. In the video she explains that an a advantage of connectivism is that the learner can connect with people around the world and understand different perspectives. Connectivism also encourages critical thinking and indepth examination of a topic.The important thing is not to know everything about a topic, but to know where to go to find the information.

This is an excellent resource! The video gives us a very nice summary and delves into the implications of a connected world and where we're living today. I am likely to use this video later on.
-
I appreciate the visual components of this resource and third person example of "Amy's" usage of connectivsim. Using Amy as an example this video allowed us to see the overall picture of connectivism theory as well as how it would look when being used by a student, switching our perspective of the theory from that of the teacher to that of the student.

A featured look at communities of practice through the lens of addressing the difficulties students with disabilities face in regards to completing school and finding employment. Communities of practice are introduced and explored by definition and example first and then specifically in regards to how they work or look in special education. Benefits and challenges are both represented in this work and a working example of Pennsylvania's IDEA Community of Practice is examined.

This is a great paper talking about connectivity with "what we learn" "How we learn" and "Where we Learn." The author is from Chile is give a good perspective on this works world wide. -
Thomas Baker, the author of this work and a TESOL educator, first explores connectivism including the definition and theory in his article and then relates this theory to EFL teaching. Baker connects the tectonic shifts in connectivism to the digital age of learning where learners can become creators instead of just consumers as well as collaborate with anyone, anywhere, at any time due to technology. The article concludes with three examples of teachers and the strategies or tools they utilize in their teaching that makes them "connected" to connectvism.

The Connected Educator: All About Connectedness | Edutopia - 3 views

I really connect to theory through hearing about practice. In this article by Tom Whitby for Edutopia, he shares 6 different stories from 6 different educators who have begun to engage with online professional learning networks. I connected to this article because I had the same path as many of these educators. Whether it was the teacher who heard someone at a conference or the 29 year veteran who found herself in a 1:1 MacBook class, they all began peripherally and then developed into active participants in their online PLNs. This article is a pretty good setup for our upcoming adventures.

It was interesting to see most of their stories had to do with Twitter. I have resisted Twitter for so long because I do not understand it at all! Guess it's time to learn. -
Reading personal stories from teachers really helps me see how educators are using Twitter, and other technologies, in the classroom. I appreciated reading the variety of ways these teachers use Twitter to communicate with students and connect with other educators professionally. I'm beginning to see the value of Twitter as a professional network builder!
Tweeting to Learn: Understanding Twitter through the Lens of Connectivism - 1 views
-
This article discusses how Connectivism, focuses on that people learn through connections of social and cultural interactions. Every single source is a "node" which interacts with another to become a channel of shared information. In higher education, learning is viewed as a process that continually develops. The use of Twitter is a tool which allows students to share knowledge with each other

This was an interesting article about using Twitter though the lens of Connectivism. I thought it was interesting that as first, they thought it failed. But soon they said they created "a place to test our knowledge and facts" and that the class had "formed a learning network, where each one was tweeting a chunk of information." What a great outcome and a lesson that learning is a process, not an event.
