The Networked Student

November 28th, 2008

CCK08 – Connectivism and Connective Knowledge Course. This post comes from Teach Web 2.0 blog and its really the “homework” completed by one of the online participants. I joined this course a few months back but with my work load and other priorities I just couldn’t give it the energy and attention to get much out of the course. I did follow the newsletter and the writings however and they helped my understand connectivism and connective knowledge. I like this video a lot as it gives like so many of the Common Craft videos a clear understanding of new tools and in this case new understanding of network learning.

As a grand finale for the Connectivism course, George asked participants to respond to the following questions:

1. What is the quality of my learning networks: diversity, depth, how connected am I?
2. How has this course influence my view of the process of learning (assuming, of course, that it has)?
3. What types of questions are still outstanding?
4. How can you incorporate connectivist principles in your design and delivery of learning?

Questions 2 and 4 are addressed in the video below. The presented scenario is definitely not a complete picture of connectivism. I think it’s a good start for a k12 classroom. I view the work with my students as networked learning incubation.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
