    STEM faculty members who are working in educational research are participating in communities of practice. The communities of practice were used to increase capacity, engagement, and collaboration amongst the members. Communities of practice can be differentiated depending on the needs to the members participating in the learning community. A vital part in communities of practice is that it's members need to share a common goal or vision and work collaboratively to contribute to the learning community.

    A brief video discussing PLNs that provides a sample scenario of PLNs.
  • joannalieberman on 11 Jun 17
     
    An informative look at how PLNs work and the benefits of a PLN. Told from the perspective of a scenario in which the PLN is not initially accepted as a valuable tool of learning, the creator of this video shows that a PLN offers: 1. user ownership, 2. user independence, 3. user self-determination. The video goes on to show the benefits of collaborating through PLNs.
  • timrocco on 11 Jun 17
     
    This video offers a decent introduction to PLNs. I like that it approaches the topic from the perspective of someone who is skeptical and encourages everyone to become a life long learner.

    Another great youtube video that describes connectivism in layman terms. I like this video because it explains easily how connectivism works by connecting people together through social sites to help people learn. The video also gives a brief description of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. A great find!

    A YouTube video to explain connectivism. The author uses the example of a student "Bob", who is failing his political science class because the material is too complicated and not important to him. When Bob discovers that social media networks such as Facebook have resources that relate to his class, he begins to make connections and understand the material. Suddenly Bob has more understanding of the issue and is more interested in the topic. The creator of the video describes this process as the learning theory known as Connectivism.

    Joanna, I loved this YouTube video! It simplified Connectivism and Bob was fun! I loved when he made the connection. Thank you for sharing.

    I agree with Matt above. This is a short and informative introduction to connectivism that touches on the major concepts of learning theory as well as implications in our time.

Connectivism Downes VLEvsPLE networks

shared by kimsjohnson on 10 Jun 17 - No Cached
  • kimsjohnson on 10 Jun 17
     
    Slides by researcher Stephen Downes provide some basic elements of connectivism. Included is an analysis of VLE (virtual learning environments using LMS) vs. PLE (personal learning environments) and the types of knowledge these promote. Also addressed is personal vs. social knowledge, collaboration vs. cooperation, and network design principles. Especially interesting here is the VLE vs PLE analysis.

    Kim, Thank you for sharing! I liked the visuals throughout the slide show!
  • timrocco on 11 Jun 17
     
    Mr Downes makes thought provoking distinctions between a number of concepts (e.g.VLE and a PLE, personal vs social knowledge, and cooperation vs collaboration). Thanks for sharing.

    In this TEDx talk by George Siemens he discusses connections. He begins to discuss this through his own personal background. He pushes inherently through his talk for a change in education. He pushes that the importance of education is connectedness and implies that education currently is inhibiting this connectedness. He says that many platforms for students to be connected are often locked down which I can also say I have found to be true. He parts the talk that he believes the primary task of education is connectedness and that we need to collapse education down to this to cause our students to become better members of society.

    Thanks! @kcastello Siemens has such a cool perspective on connectedness and such an amazing way of explaining his ideas. My favorite is his comment: "Education is not about creating better Googlers."
  • kimsjohnson on 10 Jun 17
     
    Great resource! I like his comment that transparency makes us all instructors and the concept of bringing it all down to connections and connectedness.
  • jershua1 on 11 Jun 17
     
    I think Tim said it best up there... it's best to get information from a key contributor to connectivism. We cannot expect our students not to connect. We are lucky to be where we are in education right now.

    Mr. Richardson makes an argument for education transformation based on computational and connectivist principles.
  • jershua1 on 11 Jun 17
     
    I agree with Mr. Richardson here... Our ability to be able to connect with other educators around the world will challenge and change the way we view education every single day. We can't keep doing the same things, because the way we do things have changed. Adaptability is the life of the eudcator!

    I love that this video makes it very clear that you don't actually have to know anyone in your PLN. Now that we are so interconnected, the people that we learn from can be totally dispersed throughout the world. This presenter emphasizes that these networks are OURS.

    Many educators talk about the benefits of being part of a PLN. They emphasize that while they are interacting with people and not feeling alone while gathering ideas and sharing feelings, they can connect or disconnect anytime they want. It is the choice of the educator to determine the level of involvement they want to provide. The educators in this video seem extremely comfortable being members of these networks. Connecting and collaborating are important skills. Being able to choose when to connect and be part of a professional network, allows freedom for educators to continue their learning forever.

    A quick PLN overview that describes many of the aspects of what we do here in this class. The presenter offers many insights on how to be a member of a PLN, and some of the tools that are available to us. I like that he tells me that I can change levels of participation whenever I want, and should feel free to just lurk if preferred.

Situating Learning in Communities of Practice - 2 views

    This is a good article, if you are interested in deep diving into the theory of situating learning in the context of communities of practice. I have never thought of Alcoholics Anonymous as a community of practice before. The article looks at the structuring relation between the scope of participation in communities and the production of that scope in relations of commodification and the characteristics of divided forms of labor. The article also lists a set of conceptual independencies among person, activity, knowledge, and a world that recommend a conception of learning as legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice.
  • jershua1 on 11 Jun 17
     
    This book chapter is very informative, and takes a look at some of the situations regarding identity in a community of practice. There are many different roles one can take in a CoP. I enjoyed this chapter, because it took a look at Yucatec Mayan midwives. Which, as it sounds is an important role played in this community. There is a sort of apprentice mindset when learning something, and I find the same structure in teaching.
