Connectivism « Connectivism - 2 views

  •  
    This blog post discusses the role of the teacher in the light of a connected world.  Beginning with a look at how the teacher's role (and curriculum) become fragmented, the post then discusses the "new" role of teachers in such a connected environment.

    I really like this article because of the role of the teacher being discussed in great detail. I think that in Connectivism I was confused about the role of the teacher especially when it came to filtering information. I feel like now I have a better understanding of how the teacher acting as a filter in the initial stages of the lesson can lead to students being autonomous and filtering sources later on.
  •  
    Alyssa, I appreciate that fact that you highlight the role of the teacher here. I sometimes feel lost in the world of learning theory as I tend to teach between them. That is, my teaching is a mixture of many different theories. I really like the idea of the teacher being the filter.
  •  
    This is a great article. It starts with business and but then moves into teaching and how connectivism changes out roles. I love how it states that learners are not confined to one person's beliefs. It brings up outcomes/assessment and relates them to real-life. Thank you!

What do Connections do? - 4 views

  •  
    Explains the role creation plays as a component of connecting. Creating artifacts and participating in activities forms knowledge connections, that are most desirable in an open space with open content. The formation of new connections can lead to the redistribution of power in society.
  •  
    The visuals of networks (among people and space) were powerful. I agree that one of the most impressive features of a MOOC is the creation of peer networks.
  •  
    I really liked how the author began with demonstrating networks and then showed how learning is also a network. Shelly was right in that it is very powerful to see as a visual.

TeachersFirst's Internet Safety Resources - 0 views

  •  
    Modeling and helping students learn about Internet safety is the responsibility of every adult in our students' lives, including teachers in all subject areas and parents at home. As adults learn more about wise online behavior and build awareness of our own digital footprints, we must continue to share and openly discuss these issues with the young people in our classrooms and homes.

What is a PLN? - 12 views

  •  
    A short, engaging YouTube video on defining Personal Learning Networks.
  • ...4 more comments...
  •  
    This is one of the videos I watched on YouTube as well, Melodie! It does such a great job demonstrating a large amount of information about PLNs in a very short time frame. I thought there were two really critical points made in this video. First, Lalande makes it clear that a PLN does not necessarily have to be online, but it is the digital interaction does make a PLN special. I also liked the way he presented all of the options for interaction (i.e. a lurker or sharer) as well as the networking tool options, such as Twitter or YouTube. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    I thought the video did a very good job of describing a PLN in a very efficient manner but matter of fact way. It was simplistic, yet allowed the view to comprehend the extensive nature of a PLN. The most important part of the video in my mind is when it talks about it is something you can choose to participate when you want and pick and choose things that are best suited for you!
  •  
    Melodie, thank you for sharing this video. Youtube has such great resources, what a great way to explain PLNs to colleagues. I especially appreciate how it specifically described the network as the one you get involved in when, where and how you want to. I appreciate how he describes how you can be heavily invested or not, but that you will gain a larger benefit if you leave the "lurker" phase and invest more.
  •  
    Love having short snippets/videos that describe a topic in brief. Sometimes, a topic can become so cumbersome so quick. This was an informative video, short, and to the point. Thanks for posting!
  •  
    I really enjoy the simplicity of this video while at the same time the depth of understanding it gives in such a brief period of time. For me this video really drives home the effectiveness technology can have in presenting potentially overwhelming information in a very easy to understand manner.
  •  
    In my opinion, the key words of this video are "what", because you choose what to share, "where" and "when" to do it. It is brief but powerful. Thanks Melodie for sharing it!

Trip Films - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great resource for students learning about different locations. Different from the traditional travel videos which show the normal tourist attractions and provide no personal connections to the audience. Students are exposed to authentic travel experiences and they feel as if they are there. Great for virtual tours.

Using Technology to Transform Communities of Practice into Knowledge-Building Communities - 0 views

  •  
    The article examines two frameworks for understanding and building communities of practice.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    This article discusses a couple of frameworks for communities of practice. They discuss how technology is a key component for success in communities of practice. These communities help to build knowledge in their active members.
  •  
    In particular, I liked the graphic, C4P Framework, as it illustrates how the community works.
  •  
    Summary: This paper/study is about using technology to transform communities of practice into knowledge- building communities. The paper goes in depth on how they believe knowledge is created. The paper then goes into the ways that technology provides a value add for learning. I thought that this paper was an interesting take on communities of practice.
