  •

    Hi Jessica, I really like this article because Reese actually discusses some of the academic resistance to elearning opportunities and how that has created a barrier to resources that move students forward into meaningful communication and learning. Kristen

Places to Go: Connectivism & Connective Knowledge - 3 views

  •  
    This article is actually an introduction to a course offered by the University of Manitoba. My favorite part of this article is the diagram "that shows how the different elements and various technologies are linked together." However, throughout the article it offers various links that I also found interesting.

    This is an article by Stephen Downes, discussing the course Connectivism and Connective Knowledge. I was interested to see how many elements of connectivism were built into the course structure. I also liked the visual map at the beginning of the article. All sources for the article were 2008 or prior, which made me wonder how much has changed and if the article is still valid. It prompted me to dig further.

    This article is written by Stephen Downes. In this article he discusses the online course that he created called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge. This course focuses on one of the more recent trends to emerge, connectivism. The visual map in the article shows how different elements and technologies all link together.
  •  
    I saw Downe's article/work referenced on a few other sites, so this ties up a few things for me. However, the visual map has far too much going on for my brain to focus. Seriously- that thing is wild.

    SUMMARY: I especially appreciate this resource as it points you in several exciting directions to online CoPs to help you as a consumer of informatioin understand what constitutes a CoPs. I was pleased to see that I already belong to a few of these CoPs and I am excited to look into the others.

    Cate, This one makes you think. I am sure it will not be long before being hired as a teacher or administrator will include advanced skills with the computer and being connected. It probably happens now. CoPs will make it so much easier for teachers and administrators to glean the most popular trends and technological information.

    A list of different communities of educators for professional learning.

    This was a great find. This site connects educators with communities that suit their needs. Educators can pick their interests and connect with folks on the spot.

    First of all of course I love the name of this listing of CoP, "Online Communities of Practice in Practice". This listing is so interesting to me, I have for a long time collected from individuals blogs through feeds, but I haven't come across such a good listing of online communities. It was amazing to me as I begin to research these groups the number of educators in these networks. Of course each person is at their own level of involvement, but they are each harnessing the power of connecting in their own right, exactly how it works for them!

Siemens, George. "Connectivism: A learning theory for the digital age." (2014). - 0 views

  •  
    This article explains the differences between behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism. The author makes the argument that behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism all have limitations to learning in the digital world. The author argues that connectivism is a beneficial learning model, especially in the digital era.
  •  
    his article points out how the rapid increase of technology in our lives is changing how we need to educate. A few areas it points to in supporting this argument is the trend that knowledge is often not following a linear path, how the half life of knowledge is becoming shorter and shorter and how the capacity to learn more outweighs the amount of knowledge currently known. Connectivism becomes important when facing these challenges because it allows us to have access to a much broader range of knowledge than we would otherwise. Often times in our world today the collective knowledge of many individuals is more valuable than the sole knowledge of a single expert.

    This article goes over the differences between connectivism, cognitivism and behaviorism. Society is changing and how we interact with people has changed.
