Connectivism - 2 views
-
Connectivism is an hypothesis of learning which emphasizes the role of social and cultural context. Connectivism is often associated with and proposes a perspective similar to Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development' (ZPD), an idea later transposed into Engeström's (2001) Activity theory.[1] The relationship between work experience, learning, and knowledge, as expressed in the concept of ‘connectivity, is central to connectivism, motivating the theory's name.[2] It is somewhat similar to Bandura's Social Learning Theory that proposes that people learn through contact. The phrase "a learning theory for the digital age"[3] indicates the emphasis that connectivism gives to technology's effect on how people live, communicate and learn.

Digital Nutrition: for a balanced, healthy tech lifestyle - Blog - 1 views
-
Just like with diets and food nutrition we would benefit from considering how we can create digital lifestyles which support our whole wellbeing. There are occasions which we might indulge in some mental candy, we might need to use technology to relax and unwind – but when we use it to cope in a way which distracts us from dealing with the issue, problems arise. Using the word addiction in this conversation stigmatises technology users and the challenges facing parents and educators to effectively integrate technology into both leisure and learning in a balanced way that is tailored to the needs of individuals.

Why not now?
-
The teacher thinking in a way that is new and exciting, and initiates further thinking and possibilities.
-
It also seems very exciting that this teacher is supporting learning that is relevant & shows students that learning is not just for the future but opens up opportunities for them now.
-
This also creates a relevance between the student and their world both in the educational sense and the personal sense.
-
-
Kids brainstormed ideas, wrote rough drafts, edited with classmates and teachers and created their own illustrations. Some handwrote the final draft, while others chose to type up pages.
-
Students and teachers became motivated and engaged in literacy. Students were able to have a choice between typing their stories or writing them by hand. This task was also inclusive in regards to students who might have had learning difficulties. It provided a platform for these students to express themselves creatively through the use of colours, images, written text or a variety of materials such as button, beads, different fabrics that they could cut out and paste, etc.
-
Collaboration between students and teachers promotes positive learning experiences and ensures all learners are involved and able to participate. Providing students with options to create illustrations, type or write their story by hand enables all students to construct their story in a way that suits them.

When she shared her find at a staff meeting, fellow teachers at the Scarborough school loved the idea and they all got on board.
-
Positive sharing of 'finds' not only builds resources but creates a positive, inclusive and productive professional learning environment and builds moral.
-
by sharing the idea it became a whole school activity involving the entire school community including the parents
-
Teacher was able to network with others. Created a holistic and inclusive approach to the idea. Ultimately a higher chance for success as more support is there.
-
Having an open minded and innovative staff helps, so does having the opportunity to try something different. Not all schools would have been so on board with the idea.
-
Teacher provided an extension to other teachers professional learning and used networking with other peers

This activity challenges student to investigate and reflect on 'real world' events promoting a deeper understanding of what happen around them and international and how they feel about what they discover.

Personally I would prefer students be given choice of topic, as dictating the topic seems to contradict the impetus for the project which was to foster a student driven passion for writing.

Having the whole school talking about something as positive and exciting as literacy is a great reason to do something like this! It shows how excited the students are about creating their own work - love it.

great idea to get the students to feel good about learning and they get to take something away from it that they can be proud off. Great concept and great on the school part to adjust their teaching and assessments

This reminds me of a student with ASD at a school I am aware of that wrote his own book about the struggles of making friends. It was an amazing experience for this boy, his twin sister illustrated it for him and his best friend assisted. He performed readings of the book for all the classrooms. Such an amazing experience for the child and the school.

kids would get off the bus carrying their package of materials and talking about it

Another awesome result of this activity is that it makes literacy possible and enjoyable for all students. Not all students enjoy or succeed in reading, but show far more engagement with writing, especially when given freedom of expression, and encouraged to write about something relevant and enjoyable to them.

Reasons as to why I thought this was a good idea: - students and parents are involved - everyone in the class, all learning abilities, got involved - it gave writing a sense of purpose for the class - students could relate it to interests and real life concepts. - students took charge of what they are going to write
