Instagram is a social media service that lets users share photos and videos. This app can be used as a way for students to share ideas and work with each other through the use of hashtags. Students can also share their images with the Instagram community and receive additional feedback. This app also doubles as a video and image editing software.

Gould Burgess teaches in a "flipped classroom," so her students complete their "lower-level thinking" for homework, and engage in "higher-level thinking," like the marble and catapult lab, in the classroom. After watching the podcasts at home, students come to class ready to work on more advanced exercises that build on what they learned from the lectures. Check out some great tools and examples from the NEA website!!

This is one of my favorite teacher Instagram accounts to follow! She has awesome math resources and ideas!

Great idea to put a teacher Instagram account in the group! Instagram could work as an excellent resource to support a personal learning network for educators. I currently have an Instagram, but I don't post any school-related material. I will need to alter my approach to Instagram. Thanks for the suggestion!

Here is a very complex study. Fortunately, the highlights tell us some important findings. This study went with the understanding that teachers have organically formed professional learning networks using the Internet, and report that they like them. This study focused on putting some data behind that, which it has provided. As a teacher, I found this quote very refreshing, about a researcher that "argued that top-down teacher PD in schools often aligns with hierarchical structures that de-skill teachers from their intellectual work by treating them as passive recipients of mandates. Even the term "professional development" conveys that teachers are "deficient and in need of developing and directing." In my own PLN, I have learned much more about teaching and learning from an 8th grade math teacher than I have in any of my administration-mandated social studies PD sessions.

I'll be honest, I did not read the entire study, but the highlights from this article and the abstract once again confirmed what I'm starting to realize. We are teaching in a way that is behind the times when it comes to the current ways students learn naturally. We are fighting their expectations trying to bottle them into the box that is traditional education.
Learning Networks Could Reconfigure Schools | Steve Regur | TEDxElCajonSalon - YouTube - 5 views
-
This speaker does an excellent job showcasing that our students are totally capable of being part of a learning network before they can even recognize what it is they're doing. Things have changed intensely since the rise of networked connections between people. School needs to adapt and use these tools that professional educators are using to improve meeting the many "standards" that Mr. Regur talks about. "We have standards just to write standards…" We need to avoid the closed off island that is being a teacher… There is no longer an excuse to be stuck in this single-player version of education.

We all create personal learning networks in everything we do. Using this in education is extremely important so that students a) know how to connect with others, and b) know how to benefit from connecting with others. I like how he called the "teacher the most important activator".
-
Two is a meeting, Three is a network. Steve had some great "real" advice and reasons for why we should all join PLN for a variety of different reasons to create a stronger and more educated world.
Connectivism - YouTube - 6 views
-
This video made by Brandy explains how much easier it is for students to engage with content and others when they have a digital space. Brandy goes on to talk about how easy it is to reach out to experts in a community. It goes beyond just the basic classroom interaction. She connects all of these concepts together nicely, whether she intended to or not. Students are in their own PLNs too, whether they're calling it that or not.

This short video includes visual images to accompany an overview of what connectivism is and what this learning theory looks like both in classrooms and the real-world. This video can provide a foundation to build upon as more research and understanding is conducted to further understand the theory.
-
I found this video to be very informative and a great resource to explain connectivism.
"Introduction to communities of practice,"(Wenger-Trayner, 2015) - YouTube - 1 views

this simple video shows a good visual breakdown of what CoP are and how they work in different scenarios, specifically in education.
-
This video does a nice job of quickly explaining what a COP is then she takes the time to discuss how school classrooms can be COP but also why they may not be considered a COP. She discusses how a teacher can make his/her classroom a COP if done correctly and the students are invested.

Based on the connectivism theory written by George Siemens and Stephen Downes this article discusses whether it is a learning theory and how it fits in with the digital age. Excellent read!! EDTECH543 Connectivism

In this article, the authors explain the difference between learning theories and instructional theories. As the authors are explaining what connectivism is, they make the argument that connectivism as been wrongly identified as a learning theory. The authors look at both perspectives to give the reader a better understanding how connectivism can be classified as both. However, their overall view point is that it is an instructional theory.

This paper explores connectivism and the differences between learning theories and instructional theories. It looks at connectivism through both lenses and addresses how learning and collaboration will continue to evolve.

This is a neat little article on connectivism. The best part is that it has a video contained within it by George Siemens that really helps you understand what this idea is getting at.
-
Connectivism is learning for the digital age. This article does a great job at explaining the principles of connectivism."Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements - not entirely under the control of the individual."

My biggest a-ha moment from this article is the importance of seeing connections between fields, ideas, and concepts. Too often we work in silos and don't look around to see what other people are doing, even in our own organizations.
Cultivating Communities of Practice: A Guide to Managing Knowledge - Seven Principles for Cultivating Communities of Practice - HBS Working Knowledge - Harvard Business School - 3 views
-
This article provides an excerpt from the book, Cultivating Communities of Practice: A Guide to Managing Knowledge by Wenger, McDermott, and Snyder. This pieces notes what CoPs are and what makes them successful. It explores seven design principles to help CoPs thrive and evolve. Each principle is explained and supported with understandable real-world examples.
-
This does give a really complete explanation of each one. I agree that the examples are relevant and helpful. I think this is a great resource.
-
I like this article. Much of what I read dealt with what communities of practice are. This article focuses more on how to set up and maintain a successful community of practice. Each of the elements brought up is very detailed. I like this article because it details what a community of practice is indirectly. In describing what a successful CoP looks like you can easily see what it is and how valuable it can be. Good find!

This wiki page thoroughly addresses several aspects of connectivism in a neat bulleted format. In addition to listing the basic principles of the theory, it also explores it through Ertmer and Newby's 5 question framework. In exploring connectivism through a pedagogical approach, it provides insight into the roles of educators and students.
-
My favorite part of this resource is the breakdown of the roles of both the facilitator and the student. Sometimes when I am reading through different articles it is hard to visualize myself doing what is being discussed. This section really helps me visualize what I would be doing in a connectivist setting and what my students should be doing as well.
