    An important document to read. How the tech trends will impact k12 education - or SHOULD impact it, at least. Idea - share this with your building principal and invite a discussion.

  • GeoMeme is the fun way to measure and share real-time local Twitter trends on a Google Map. Using the map it is possible to view Tweets from any location in the world. Positive Tweets are streamed on the left of the map and negative Tweets from that location are streamed on the right.Tweets are located on the map using public data from a number of iPhone Twitter apps. The Google Map shows the thumbnail portraits of Twitters directly on the map. Clicking on any of the thumbnails scrolls the streaming Tweets to that person's message.The site also uses the Google Static Maps API to show thumbnails of suggested locations in the search box. The thumbnail suggestions actually appear and change as you type a location. Very cool!

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 4 views

Connectivism learningtheory

  • Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.
    • Denise Nichols

      What are some of the new theories?  What research will they be based upon?
  • The life of knowledge was measured in decades.
    • Denise Nichols
      Denise Nichols on 02 Aug 12
       
      Our concept of knowledge had definitely changed in this digital age of Google.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Many of the processes previously handled by learning theories (especially in cognitive information processing) can now be off-loaded to, or supported by, technology.
    • Denise Nichols
      Denise Nichols on 02 Aug 12
       
      Conrad Wolfram speaks to this idea in his TED talk about teaching real math with computers.  He states that students spend 80% of their time on calculating rather than applying math to real world problems to learn math concepts.
  • A central tenet of most learning theories is that learning occurs inside a person. Even social constructivist views, which hold that learning is a socially enacted process, promotes the principality of the individual (and her/his physical presence – i.e. brain-based) in learning. These theories do not address learning that occurs outside of people (i.e. learning that is stored and manipulated by technology). They also fail to describe how learning happens within organizations
  • Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where (the understanding of where to find knowledge needed).
    • Denise Nichols
      Denise Nichols on 02 Aug 12
       
      This is one of the most important skills we can give our students in the digital age.  An intelligent person may not know the information but they know where to find the information.

      This point was in the Wolfram Talk too
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences
  • Decision-making is itself a learning process.
    • Deb Sowers
      Deb Sowers on 02 Aug 12
       
      ...and do we (teachers AND parents) really teach this with our kids? ...or facilitate??
  • Learning is a continual process, lasting for a lifetime. Learning and work related activities are no longer separate. In many situations, they are the same.
    • Rich Smith
      Rich Smith on 02 Aug 12
       
      I love this point
  • Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge. ‘I store my knowledge in my friends’ is an axiom for collecting knowledge through collecting people (undated).”
    • Denise Nichols
      Denise Nichols on 02 Aug 12
       
      This is how social media expands our knowledge.  
  • Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.
    • Deb Sowers
      Deb Sowers on 02 Aug 12
       
      Great summary statement
  • Many learners will move into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields over the course of their lifetime.
  • Michelle Krill on 02 Aug 12
     
    "Editor's Note: This is a milestone article that deserves careful study. Connectivism should not be con fused with constructivism. George Siemens advances a theory of learning that is consistent with the needs of the twenty first century. His theory takes into account trends in learning, the use of technology and networks, and the diminishing half-life of knowledge. It combines relevant elements of many learning theories, social structures, and technology to create a powerful theoretical construct for learning in the digital age."

      I am also very curious about the flipped model for my classroom to an extent. It feels hard to trust that my kiddos/parents will practice their rote knowledge, ex. math facts, outside of school when you sometimes don't see homework come back all year from individual students.  I have heard some interesting fixes to this, such as, having students perform the homework while you and the class do a fun activating activity such as a game, etc. This could work... but the question remains; what about kids that have no support at home, need help, and you can't give it to them because you are busy activating the thinking of 20+ other students?  This is also a problem with the current model of education as it stands, those students that don't receive supports at home need more attention, we are only one person, and can't make up for all the lost attention/time at home the way we'd like to. So how can you leverage the technology to help those kids and give them more supports? 
  • They did say that the students connect better when it is their own teacher. You would miss that connection if you just found videos from other people.
    • Ryan Donnelly
      Ryan Donnelly on 29 Jul 12
       
      Finding videos of other teachers doing your flipped lesson would feel impersonal, tend to alienate those students that are already weary of being connected in school, and most likely just have irrelevant material included amongst the important content. You can't tell a student, "Oh just ignore minute 2:30 to 2:45, they went out on a confusing tanget for a minute" because of their personality/teaching style. You NEED to have your own tangents/teaching style. It's what connects your students to you!
  • Perfection will just result in frustration

      If you are looking to use this material consistently with universal results, is it worth it to have the videos up to snuff?

      Would be interesting to give this a try with the 8th grade science teacher I work with. Seems like such a perfect fit for science. Do students need to prove that they watched the videos?

  • Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:   a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures. d. contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.

      @Jim- Yes, this does sound familiar. I served on a tech steering committee this spring and that is how I learned of these standards. Not sure the school board knows of them though.

      Before I had this class I didn't think Distance Learning was important, but when asked if I thought the district should get a set up for our elementary school, I said yes, since why say no! I hope we get it now because I will be able to use it with the knowledge I am gaining this week. Very cool!
