barakstanley on 08 Jun 18Dr. Sherri E. Ritter's blog post discusses the main ideas behind several learning theories. She also provides background information, a definition, and examples of connectivism. I like how Ritter suggests different apps at the bottom of the post to support connectivism in the classroom. I have used Remind101 before to safely and securely communicate with parents.

naddleman on 10 Jun 18I liked the format of this post as well. It also opened my eyes to how much we can be restricting our students from this type of learning if we are keeping their personal technology out of the classroom. The struggle is finding a happy medium, at least thats the struggle at my current school.

miljenni on 10 Jun 18The part of the article that I enjoyed the most was when it had a list of apps at the bottom. It connected the theory of connectivism with a list of apps that potentially could be used in a learning environment. Since this is a 2014 article, I would assume that there are many more that should be included now. Thanks for sharing.

cooperjrn on 11 Jun 18What I find most interesting about this is that there are examples of how apps are used in the day to day operation of businesses and educations and yet in most classrooms I've been in the first thing we're told is to turn off our electronic devices. In fact, in the school where I work, we just reconfigured a classroom because it was too hard to tell if students were surfing the web instead of paying attention. Did I mention that I teach adults?
