    This article reviews how behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism have all been central ideas that we based our teaching on. However, in the new digital age, it is becoming evident that we need to shift to a connectivism point of view. We need to use the resources we have to connect with teachers and learn from each other.

    Connectivism: This article talks about connectivism model shifts with the learning society and that the educational field is slow to embrace and use new tools. Connectivism is essential for learners to grow in educational technology.

    This article was written by George Siemens the father of connectivism, focusing on how learning occurs through networking especially through the use of technology. The article also explains the differences between connectivism, behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitivism in a simple to read manner.

    This was the first article I read during my research. It really gave me a baseline understanding of connectivism. I liked the way that it explained how connectivism is different from other learning theories. Overall great article.

    In this article George Siemens relates connectivism to PLN's. He begins by explaining that knowledge is growing exponentially and now instead of being measured in decades, the life of knowledge is measured in years and even months. He goes onto explain that half of what is known today was not known a mere ten years ago and according to the American Society of Training and Documentation, knowledge in the world has doubled in the last ten years and continues to double every 18 months. He explains that networks are an integral part of growing one's knowledge base and our small world networks are made up of people who share our interests. He also lists eight principles of connectivism and connects these ideas to social networking. He concludes by stating that connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to be successful in a digital era.

    This article, written by George Siemens explains how connectivism is the theory behind the PLNs. The author describes how connectivism fills the limitations of behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism, the learning theories developed when learning was not impacted by technology. It is the complement. The author compares the connections in a PLN with pipes and says "The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today." (Siemens, 2014)

    A detailed article on connectivism, written by one of the biggest promoters of Connectivism- George Siemens. There is a lot of great information on how this impacts organizations which was particularly interesting. We struggle with this all the time at my company- "Connectivism addresses the challenges that many corporations face in knowledge management activities. Knowledge that resides in a database needs to be connected with the right people in the right context in order to be classified as learning".

    Summary: The goal of this project was to look into the preparation of teachers on the topic of PLN's and a range of other eLearning tools. This project is interesting because they really dove into the current teacher training methods. The project goes through all of the major hurdles into getting these new eLearning principles used in the classroom by the new generation of teachers.

    In this article, Chandler and Redman discuss how teachers have access to many collaborative technologies that enable them to develop personal learning communities. The article also discusses how to integrate new teachers into these learning communities during their educational programs.

    Abstract A complementary relationship exists between technology and constructivism, the implementation of each one benefiting the other. Constructivism is a doctrine stating that learning takes place in contexts, while technology refers to the designs and environments that engage learners. Recent attempts to integrate technology in the classroom have been within the context of a constructivist framework (e.g., Richards, 1998).

    This website is good just for the sake of brevity. It is a quick, simple, and concise overview of connectivism and links to a useful journal article. The database overall is a good place for quick summaries of learning theories and can be used to spur further research.

    Provides an explanation of the theory of Connectivism, its key features, and how the MOOC resulted from this theory.
  • Buffy Naillon on 05 Sep 16
     
    The real takeaway in this article is that the learner holds the responsibility for what is learned and also for sharing what they learn in a cMOOC.

    Gaming | August 2013 Digital Edition Today's sophisticated digital games are engaging students and conveying hard-to-teach concepts like failure and perspective. So why aren't more classrooms playing along? If the use of technology in education is about meeting students where they are, it seems like gaming would be a good place to start.

    Much has been written recently about the impact of social networking tools in teaching and learning and how educators can build on the skills of their students in using these tools. But if educators only integrate the ability of students to connect and socialize, deeper points of learning will be missed.

    This article talks about the cloudy views of the Connectivist Learning Theory and tries to clarify what it means to define knowledge as a network and in what way it can affect teaching and learning. It discusses the conflict of deciding if, indeed, Connectivism is actually a learning theory.

    Finally found an article that focuses specifically on middle school educators and social media. The more and more I envelop myself with the Knowledge Quest journal, the more I want a subscription. I recommend taking a look at this publication and article. This article puts an emphasis on Web 2.0 apps like Ning and Wikis, and the use of webinars to help mitigate fears surrounding the usage of social media in the middle grade levels.

    Sounds like a useful article. I have never heard of Ning or Knowledge Quest. I went to check in out but the link is down.

    The internet has allowed educators to create more diverse personal learning networks than ever before. This article addresses the idea of making our learning networks more diverse through intercultural outreach. This is an idea that is only possible through the use of educational technology.
  • Ryan Olynyk on 11 Jun 16
     
    I like that this article shows the components of Personal Learning Networks and talks about the fact that a shared learning interest is the basis for connections with others in a PLN. The discussion of the six stages of connectivism is valuable in that it shows what is involved in a true 21st Century Learning Education.

    I really like annotated bibliographies because they provide so much information on a topic in a fairly simple analytical summary, and they allow the reader to delve further by providing the source. The author, Kristi Newgarden, has two fields of interest: educational technology and teaching English as a Second Language. Overall, the focus of the bibliography is on Communities of Practice and Lave and Wenger's concepts of Legitimate Peripheral Participation.

    I agree with you about annotated bibliographies being a great resource. Not only did this great link provide further scholarly readings but gave a glimpse into what we could expect from them as well. I really enjoyed the list and found it great that some of them were brand new from the research I've already done at the beginning of this module. Great find!
  • scottcastro on 13 Jun 16
     
    Though not an academic study, this annotated bibliography from Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language, gives the reader summaries of over 40 sources related to Twitter, Social Networking, and CoPs. This bibliography is similar to one required in EdTech 501 at BSU. The resources provided come from a wide-range of academic disciplines and publications providing the reader with a diverse bibliography to look over.
  • J Matibag on 13 Jun 16
     
    Scott, it's great that you found this annotated bibliography. What caught my attention initially was that it was posted on a TESL website, but after reading further the author mentioned that the resources mentioned could benefit any teacher in any subject area. This is a nice way to find resources on a topic without having to type in a search engine or review resources at the end of a research study. Even better when there is a summary provided so you don't have to figure out if that is a beneficial resource or not.
  • scottcastro on 13 Jun 16
     
    J Matibag - One thing I didn't touch upon, but didn't, is the benefit summaries provided in an annotated bibliography like this one. Thanks for putting that into your post. Having these description certainly gives the reader a chance to discover more sources in less time. Most studies I've read tend to be 10-25 pages, so this circumvents sifting through studies that may not be what one is looking for.
