This article introduced me to a term I'd never heard before, "MOOCs" or massive open online courses. It goes on to explain how connectivism helps form the framework for learning in these online courses.

The digital age has created a new way of learning called connectivism. Principles such as chaos and network have an effect on how we learn. This article gives a brief overview of more popular learning theories and connectivism. The digital era affects how take in knowledge and disperse that knowledge through connections we make in life.

This article discusses that learning should not be a passive learning dependent on artifacts but should be active learning utilizing evolving data and learning networks. This will provide for an environment to overcome socioeconomic differences.

Hi Daniel! I appreciate that this resource addresses how eLearning and networking can break down the barrier of socioeconomic differences that can really hinder some students' achievement. Thanks for sharing!

A community of practice can be seen through e-learning as groups of people come together to share a common interest, interact with one another and learn.

This is a blog of an expert in Personal Learning Networks. He talks about how his own PLN has developed and changed over his professional career due to the availabilty to make connections with others in far more ways than were possible 20 years ago. He briefly describes many of the connection possibilities on the internet such as social networks, blogs, wikis, etc.

I like the discussion in this article about critical behaviors. I have found that it is challenging at first to follow through on those behaviors. Assignments in our edtech courses help us engage in such behaviors, but the question for me is whether or not I'll keep those habits intact after the courses end. Thanks for the link.

Meyerhoff, M. (2002). 21 Communities of Practice. This is another article that researches the marriage between social and linguistic definitions used in communities of practice. What I enjoyed about this excerpt was when the author went beyond the foundation communities of practice has, and explored distinguishing frameworks on which linguistic and social understandings were built. I also enjoyed that a good portion of this writing included the research that went on in the developmental stages of defining community of practice. This allowed me to draw strong correlations within my own educational arena and within the development of adolescents. All the research made sense to me as I read it; I just wish I knew the conclusion to the research, such as how it can affect those who want to belong to a less than morally ideal community of practice. How do I combat the need for certain students to want to feel part of a community of practice I know will not lead them to professional success.

This article discusses cognitive strategies in CBI. This was a study that looked at 51 students in 3rd grade and looked to see if CBI worked in the given conditions. They studied the students' cognitive strategies. This study found that individual working conditions worked better than dyadic conditions. Children learn at all times, even when they are not engaged by a teacher or other adult.

I thought some of you might find this blog post interesting as it explores how Hatfield has "disrupted" education as we know it ... all because of his approach to learning. In her view he has taught the author seven important concepts, such as the authentic use of social media, the importance of self-directed learning, and the need for curiosity to advance learning. He inspired her because she made him part of her PLN.

Authors present evidence that social media facilitate the development of personal learning environments (PLEs) in higher education. The community is the curriculum, not the vessel. Learners are in charge of self-regulating their experiences because PLEs put the responsibility to organize information on the learners. Authors present a framework for use of social media to support self-regulation in PLEs in higher education.

A Design Model for Lifelong Learning Networks - 1 views

life-long learning edtech543 community of practice

shared by Rebecca Olien on 05 Sep 13 - No Cached

Rebecca Olien on 05 Sep 13

This article applies communities of practice as learning networks specifically for the purpose of life-long learning. The need for life-long learning continues to rise, and the authors reviewed research and applied findings to design a framework for an improved model that looks at life-long learning within these newer visions based on developing theories. The authors point out that lifelong learners are not only consumers of learning, but benefit as active contributors that also creates an enduring membership of the community. Included are learning network model diagrams to show the relationships in the learning community network. In the conclusion, the authors admit the work is still in an exploratory phase and much work is still needed to refine the framework and improve the evaluation of effectiveness in practice.
