  • Both these examples illustrate how students are taking control of their learning with the result that many currently perceived novices are actually becoming silent experts in how, where, and by whom they want to be educated (Alexander, 2003; Schmidt et al., 2009, on the emergence of peer-to-peer interaction)

      I'm personally not sure how widespread this practice is? There is a significant rise in student created Facebook groups around courses.

Learning and Sharing with Ms. Lirenman: Using Twitter in a Primary Classroom - 0 views

  • t's a great way for the parents to know what's going on in the classroom at the exact time a tweet is being sent

      Good to see this working. Wonder if it comes via email notification and if it appears in the feed? (Probably not the feed)
  • I guess with all the text book readings I did not meld my knowledge into understanding connectedness. As I know humans are social creatures, and can not live without interaction, but I did not really understand the why to it all, I believe I wasnt really needing to know the answer yet or did not care till now.

Pushing the Boundaries with Networked Learning | Boldly going where I haven't... - 0 views

  • I was just reviewing GG’s Blog and came across a post where GG posted a  personal teaching philosophy mind map. The philosophy matched very closely with my approach to teaching and also my aims through this course. One aspect of GGs philosophy which I had not really considered in my own context however, was the idea of Life Long learning.

      this passage to me describes and gives a good details as to what the assessment is about. annonoted blogs etc. 
  • Edit: 17 August – Oops, I just revised my first ‘As teacher’ post and realised I did in fact allude to life long learning as one of my teaching objectives here, although I did not consider the idea in depth at all. I am surprised that this was part of my thinking in week one and that I had forgotten this 2 weeks later. As a student of NGL, this has shown me what an excellent idea blogging is for tracking my learning, and also how valuable it is to be able to reflect and edit/build on previous posts. It has also demonstrated to me what a ‘messy’ pathway my learning follows – a concept which has been identified by Bigum and Rowan (2013) “Learning new material, developing new skills or making new discoveries can be complicated, lengthy

Week 3 Diigo activity: Where has NGL come from? | GG's Blog - 0 views

  • Greater scaffolding to allow people to get familiar with the setup process and tools being used – simpler and fewer tasks in the first couple of weeks. I think this would have helped and allowed time for participants to allocate greater time to connecting with each other. I feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks and readings and tool setup – that I haven’t really been able to concentrate on making meaningful connections. Goodyear talks about access barriers on page 34 in relation to better user interfaces – for me the barrier isn’t about the interfaces but about getting used to “how things work” in this course.

      Uses NGL principles to understand participation and explain what happened. AND Draws on a range of NGL ideas that are linked together as part of the explanation.
  • I think what I am saying also ties in a little with Anne’s post for this activity – but I think that the lack of connection might be because there is too much to be done and not enough time to get to know our environment.

Giving Good Praise to Girls: What Messages Stick | MindShift - 0 views

  •  
    How praise impacts on learning and the brain development associated with that. I feel this article relates to connectivism as learning in this way invloves challenge and perhaps failure. The article alludes to the idea that failure is a good thing and if we praise the process rather than the outcome we support learning. I wonder if this is true for adult learners as well? Should we be placing more emphasis on encouraging and supporting the process of learning so that what is being learnt is just as important as how it is being learnt to equip people for the world of the future and for people to be job ready?

  • our apparently mindless moments are actually humming with cognitive activity. Instead of letting moments of free time slip away, they say, our brains “capitalize on them to consolidate past experience in ways that are adaptive for our future needs.”
  • you have to think of intelligence — when defined as problem-solving ability — not as a singular quality but as a spectrum. On one end is deductive, rules-based reasoning and on the other is imaginative, possibilities-based improvisation
  • Universities, businesses and government agencies all compete for cognitive “talent,” and they frequently rely on intelligence testing to help them find it. Meanwhile, the evidence that intelligence testing may not work as advertised has been growing
  • Like any human performance metric — IQ, LSAT scores, batting averages — the imagination quotient is intended to predict a competitive advantage
  • “If you have an imaginative capability to envision future possibilities, alternatives and scenarios — that’s going to be predictive [of success] across the board,” he says.
  •  
    Albert Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Hopefully there would be more scope in future educational systems to measure those skills. Can imagination be measured in all subjects? In the visual arts, I certainly think it could. Even just from observation in my art classes, it doesn't take much to see which students can "think for themselves" and come up with intelligent solutions to creative problems.

4 Ways Technology is Changing How People Learn - 1 views

  •  
    I really like the Infographic on this page. 4 ways tech is changing how we learn: 1. We're moving from individual learning towards more collaborative learning 2. We're moving from more passive learning to active learning 3. Differentiated instruction and personalized learning are becoming more popular 4. We're becoming multitaskers more than ever before
  •  
    Thanks for sharing Brendon! (finally, I've managed to comment in Diigo... silly as it may seem, it took me a bit of time to figure this out!) Anyway, I also like the graphics on this poster. I've experienced first hand how tech is changing the way we learn and teach. At my school, we are being challenged all the time to redefine our teaching instead of just using technology as a substitution for traditional tools. I'm sure you're familiar with Dr. Ruben Puentedura''s SAMR model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition). I did a video on how that model applies to my own teaching and learning. http://youtu.be/nMZ2kuQQ7Qc Cheers, Mari
