Faculty eCommons Rethinking Your Online Classroom with Connectivism » Faculty... - 0 views

  • Emerging online classrooms mirror digital, distributed modes of connectivity made possible through the Web and information and communication technology.
  • “the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.”
  • Knowledge does not exist “in the heads” of learners or instructors but through the variety of connections established amongst students, instructors, and technologies. With connectivism, static student-teacher roles become as fluid as the technology that mediates them, and the process of learning becomes more important than the final product.

  • Usable classroom translation: stress impedes learning
  • Usable classroom translation: Creativity can be taught but it builds on a body of content knowledge being mastered. Interweave information and thinking in all content areas; show real world applications, move away from simple, single-answer problems to encourage divergent solutions.

      Interesting targets to teach the way the brain learns...
  • When you’re standing in front of a classroom of students who’re not quite sure they even want to be in your class, much less pay attention to what’s being said
  • Brain Target 2: Creating the Physical Learning Environment
  • Brain Target 1: Establish the emotional climate for learning
  • Brain Target 3: Designing the Learning Experience
  • Neuroscience: The brain feels before it thinks. The amygdala (think fight/flight) receives stimuli 40 milliseconds
  • Neuroscience: The brain craves novelty. Posner & Rothbart, 2007); lighting, background noise impact on attention;
  • Neuroscience behind it: The brain looks for patterns between known and unknown information (Posner & Rothbart
  • Brain Target 4: Teaching for Mastery
  • Neuroscience behind it: In order for information to be retained it must make its way from short-term to long-term memory.
  • Brain Target 5: Teaching for the Extension Neuroscience behind it: The brain is plastic. Significant changes occur in the brain due to repeated sensory experience (Fu & Zuo,2011, Karmarkar & Dan, 2006)
  • Brain Target 6: Evaluating Learning Neuroscience behind it: Assessments provides feedback that informs and motivates students; retrieval of information recruits memory systems, reinforcing memory for that information.
