I love that Bud doesn't limit this to just technology in his post from 7/13 - this is part of a bigger conversation about making, creation. Sure, tech facilitates so much of this in so many ways, but what is being created need not be digital. (I'm thinking about this because of how many times I have consulted YouTube to learn how to do something that I just wasn't getting from reading directions...)

Jeremy has been blogging about cell phone use in the clasroom at NWP Digital Is -- a wonderful ongoing inquiry into his practice and sharing with other educators. He tagged this one as "connected learning" and I'd love to hear more about the ways he feels this supports connections. I am thinking I should post a comment at Digital Is in response to his blog post to ask him specifically about this.

Here at "The Digital Arts Experience" we have a huge focus on connected learning in a non-competitive, hands-on, collaborative environment. I'd like to share with you a blog entry that our audio engineer, Emily, wrote up about the Connected Learning 'Experience' that students will have on a typical day at our learning facility. I welcome comments/feedback!

I had the pleasure and privilege of being in a Connected Learning Google Hangout today with a bunch of very smart people. Antero Garcia, a Digital Is author, was the featured guest and he framed the hangout by titling it: "A Discussion on Transforming Classrooms, Schools, and the Teaching Profession."

Posted by Christina about a DML 2012 panel discussion featuring Chad Sansing (Central Virginia WP), Meenoo Rami (PhilWP), Peter Kittle (Northern Cal WP), Lacy Manship (UNC Charlotte WP) Traci Lee and Tene Gray (DIgital Youth Network) … Panel session moderated by Bud Hunt. Promoted as "Connected Learning" ...

I'm really interested in how Pinterest's use here did this interesting collaborative/participatory thing which seems to have the potential of being ongoing and not static... especially as it is connected to other places like Digital Is. Wondering how/if that is or will emerge.

I'm looking at that Pinterest board and having a hard time trying to decipher the aim or even part of the message. Are these just artifacts of compositions utilizing multiple modes?

I think this is a nice example of how you might take an idea like "Connected Learning" to a conference and surface threads that you run into there.

I'm trying to distinguish between an assignment, a project, an inquiry, a mission, and a quest. So here are some basic definitions. Below I sketch out why I'm doing this. A quest has three qualities that distinguish it from an assignment or project. 1) Students choose whether or not to do a quest at all.

Using Twitter as a way to connect teachers to one another to share resources and get a glimpse into the day/week in a life of a teacher. This "experiment" has led to the San Diego Area Writing Project hosting #engchat (a Twitter chat) at the ISTE conference in San Diego in June.

I love how Twitter comes and returns and goes.

What a fascinating idea! I know I have discussed how to get people to "take the plunge" and try Twitter or blogging or any of a number of other platforms for connected learning. It's a big leap for some people, but this idea is really simple and elegant. If it works, even better!

Interesting way to differentiate these different approaches to learning.

"Personalized Learning" was on everyone's lips at the 2012 ISTE conference. The comparison chart in this post maps the differences between personalization, differentiation, and individualization. It really helped me think about what personalized learning for kids looks like.
