    This Q&A style article outlines the importance of building a PLN. The source is from a post-secondary outlet but the discussion can be beneficial for educators at any level. I particularly like the focus on using social media to help foster a productive PLN environment; it relates well to the content of 543.

    I also liked the style, you could scroll down the page reading the relevant questions and answers without having to wade through the info you weren't looking for at this time. It allowed for a more connectivistic (if that's a thing) learning approach.

    Thanks for sharing this. It really connected with me especially when it used a map to describe a PLN. It makes complete since to look at it that way. I also liked the way it emphasized creating a PLN online and described ways to create one.

    This is a great How-to article explaining how to form a PLN. I like how it mentions Twitter EdChats. I got into these a year or two ago and they are great!

    This video is not strictly about connectivism. With that being said the part about connectivism was very informative even though it was rather short. It starts talking about connectivism at about the 4:25 mark.

    I agree that this explanation is a good one. It describes it as Digital Age Learning and a creative process. The teachers are then responsible to nurture the connections that the students are making but still letting the students drive the process. Thanks for sharing!

  • Siemens (2005) argues that knowledge exists outside of the learner in technologies that store and organize information.
  • learner makes connections between concepts, opinions and perspectives accessed through their personal learning network, knowledge emerges and learning occurs
  • A personal learning network comprises connections between nodes which are information sources stored in a variety of formats, including individuals, groups, communities, ideas, systems and resources

  • In connectivism, exploring, discovering and aggregating existing knowledge is more important that inventing new knowledge
  • The learner needs to filter and validate the knowledge by considering the connections through which it was transmitted

      nstringham on 10 Jun 18
       
      This is a major aspect of online learning that I have noticed many of my students lack: validating the source of the information. They have a tendency to take all information at face value without questioning the source.
  • nstringham on 10 Jun 18
     
    This blog summarizes why Siemens felt the need for a new learning theory and what connectivism consists of. I like how this post highlights that today there should be more of a focus on finding and putting together existing knowledge in new ways, rather than trying to find or invent new knowledge.

    I like the practical application of a PLN. It was created without technology but shows how it can be used in the classroom without the technology resources that are required of online PLN.

    This article gives an overview of connectivism and how teachers can use it to help their students gain access to more material. It introduces a new concept "cybergogie" where students connect not only to content, theory, and practice but also to technology.

    This article outlines PLNs as a tool for teachers to take charge of their professional development. It discusses what a PLN is, how to develop one, and what a teacher can gain from participating in one. The biggest take away from this article for me is to have clearly defined goals prior to joining a PLN.

    The focus of this article is on how educators can help learners set up and discover value in communities of practice. Through working with adult educators it showed learners how their previous knowledge and experiences have great value to the community. They were able to discover the value of self-directed learning. Finally they realized the networking potential of COPs.

    This video goes into why an educator should create a personal learning network. He talks about the responsibility of educators to create opportunities for professional development that their schools do not have time or resources to create for them. My favourite takeaway from this video is not to bother a busy colleague when a quick search can give you the answer.

    My biggest a-ha moment from this article is the importance of seeing connections between fields, ideas, and concepts. Too often we work in silos and don't look around to see what other people are doing, even in our own organizations.

    This is a good video showing how setting up a community of practice saves time and resources in a mining company. The highlight for me was that one problem took a company close to a year to solve and they freely shared it with another group so that they wouldn't have to go through the same struggles.

    George Siemens discusses connectivism and the importance that it will play in the future of education. He says that connections are more important than networks. He calls for a restructuring of the education system away from organized courses into open courses where learners explore and adapt connections to suit their own purposes.
  • carissakane on 12 Jun 18
     
    I've seen this video previously and thought that Siemens has a great way of articulating what he's thinking and explaining connectivism. He has also done a Ted Talk that is engaging as well.

    MMOGs are a very interesting phenomenon to me. I took Dr. Haskell's GameBased learning course last semester. What a great way to engage students within COP and PLN.
