Communities of Learners Redefined: Customized Networks That Impact Learning : January 2... - 0 views
-
Those educators among us who are familiar with constructivist and constructionist models of learning understand the impact that social learning theory has had on the field. Likewise those of us who are familiar with the application of new technology in learning understand that customization (or "the user") is what drives every structure, every program, and every software function. It seems, then, that as educators we have a struggle between emphasizing the social nature of learning while maximizing the benefits of each learner becoming more clearly identified in the process. New technology, of course, can help in both aspects, but it is the teaching method that is challenged. I hope that eventually teaching methods will have morphed into a flexible model of instructional design and delivery that I will call "Customized Learner Networks": networks that are both socially constructed and individually driven.

What if our kids and teachers aren't good at this? I see this as a big challenge... It shakes the way we've thought about multiple intellegences doesn't it? Recognizing that kids have different preffered methods of learning is no longer enough. We must teach everyone visual literacy. Even our kids who would rather curl up with and memorize their calculus book.
