    This is a chapter pulled from a book about the difference between two people's theories of learning. The chapter discusses the limitations between constructivist and situativity theories. After all of the discussions of the limitations they found they these two are quite similar.

    Nancy Kaplan and Ananda Gunawardena write about the use of Classroom Salon, a social media network designed for collaboration in the higher education setting. They found that Classroom Salon was not effective in helping students in the chemistry class, but was in the biology class.

    While not based on technology, the article by Mark Granovetter published in 1973 looks at social networks where diffusion of information is not based on strong ties but rather weak ties. The paper suggests that information is diffused further through the strength of a person's weak ties. We may see this also through social media.

    Exploration of connectivism and it's connections to other learning theories. Includes the idea that connectivism may be a significantly different kind of learning theory than behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism, and that it might be more of an anthropological learning theory. (Interesting!) Also includes discussion of the role of an educator in an connectivist learning environment, including different metaphors for teaching.

    The Activity Theory model breaks down PLE's into subject, object, tools, rules, community and division of labour.Context is not an external container but it is constituted through an activity.The most common context for PLE's takes place through Higher Education (31%) and Lifelong Learning (15%), followed by enterprise,organisations and workplace (9% each).
  • cholthaus on 20 Jun 14
     
    This paper included many diagrams documenting personal learning environments. The PLE is broken down into six distinctive parts. The subject is the person with the object leading the subject to the outcome. Tools connect the subject and object within a community where the subject acquires knowledge. Rules are present to minimize conflict and help to guide the subject toward the object and possibly most importantly, the PLE has a division of labor. This is how the community is organized and includes contributions from all subjects. Without any one of these parts, the PLE would not function which would lead to the loss of knowledge within a community of practice.

    A helpful--if lengthy--article explaining what a PLE is, and how to conceptualize the structure and role of a PLE in terms of Activity Theory. Helpful section distinguishing PLEs, PLNs, and CoPs on p. 24.

    This session from the 2013 ISTE Conference shows how "social media like Skype, Twitter and having students write their own blogs can be used to get in contact with students and teachers from other parts of the world."

    I like how this resource provides concrete examples of how to use Twitter and RSS feeds in education. I like the question that is posed..Is being connected, cheating? It raises some very good discussion points.

    Great article. It probably is a little too much on the practical side for the first assignment but the examples are great and really useful.
  • scott hogan on 25 Jun 13
     
    I think that having students blog can be a great tool in allowing them to express what they've learned and to connect them to others around the world. Thanks for contributing the paper. I would agree with Richard Krause that it does seem more about application than theory.

    I had to check this out because the concept of Guild was introduced to me last year with 3DGameLab. I was happy to see one of the presenters is Steve Isaacs because I met him last summer while playing in the 3DGameLab. I understand he is now in the EdD program, so it makes sense he would do a presentation on this type of connection. I have not spent enough time listening to our EdD students, so thank you for bringing this presentation to our attention.

In abundance: Networked participatory practices as scholarship | Stewart | The Internat... - 1 views

  • Boyer’s (1990) four components of scholarship – discovery, integration, application, and teaching – and to explore them as a techno-cultural system of scholarship suited to an era of knowledge abundance. Not only does the paper find that networked engagement both aligns with and exceeds Boyer’s model for scholarship, it suggests that networked scholarship may enact Boyer’s initial aim of broadening scholarship itself through fostering extensive cross-disciplinary, public ties and rewarding connection, collaboration, and curation between individuals rather than roles or institutions.
  • The way Twitter draws scholars from multiple disciplines and geographic areas together via conversations and hashtags emerged as a clear manifestation of scholarship of integration. Participants demonstrated active engagement with multiple audiences, across fields and disciplines. The accounts that participants connected with in their 24-hour reflections were traced, and in all cases but one participants were found to engage across both geographic and disciplinary boundaries.
  • Boyer (1990) emphasizes scholarship of integration as “research at the boundaries where fields converge…[T]hose engaged in integration ask “What do the findings mean?” (p. 18). Thus scholarship of integration centers on public discussions and negotiations of meaning; what distinguishes the techno-cultural system of NPS is that this happens in constant, abundant real-time. This indirectly reinforces the system’s emphasis on individual rather than institution; the regular unsettling of the boundaries of what is known or understood makes formal hierarchies and categories – tenets of the techno-cultural system of institutional, disciplinary scholarship – difficult to enact and enforce.

    Bonnie Stewart makes connections between Boyer's four components of scholarship and network participation. She contends that networked engagement fits Boyer's model for scholarship, and broadens scholarship, building connection, collaboration, and curation between individuals rather than roles or institutions.

    A very interesting article! Even though the word "connectivism" isn't used (that I could find), what the author describes is essentially that. I especially liked this quote from the article: "Twitter served as a space for thinking aloud, sharing expertise, and raising investigative conversations. Participants appeared to carve out regular areas of discussion and investigation for which they become known, in their Twitter circles; peers would then send them links on those topics due to their expressed interests, and signal them into conversations in those areas, thereby extending participants' network reach and visibility." Sounds like connectivism in action!

    I appreciate the example that John Brown lays out in his paper "Growing Up Digital". He speaks about the Xerox company sending in anthropologists to study how tech reps fix broken machines. They learned it is all about the communication and storytelling, never do reps use the manual. After developing an online presence for tech reps (CoP) to communicate, Xerox saves $100 million a year while the learning curve of the reps has grown by 300%. This is a great case study to get a better understanding of a CoP analyzed and at work today.
