CCK11 Week 3 Notes
Jonas Backelin, 1144 - Learning About Learning, February 3, 2011.

Kristis post gave me some good perspectives from week 3. I'm still coming to terms with the decentralized discussions in CCK11 (any help with my feed from http://swedinbalchik.wordpress.com/category/studies-work/cck11/feed/ is appreciated; it doesn't show in 'List of Blogs'). I have played around with What Is Connectivism? from week 1 (http://swedinbalchik.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/week01-connectivismcck11/) and will after digesting material from week 2 try too use Video bloging as an artfact for my understanding of the course material.

#CCK11 out of place
scottx5, Scottx5's Blog
I’d be curious to know how many people prefer the disengagement of online life over the place they physically occupy in the real world. It still is the real world, network theory or not. Two threads here. First I’ve hit … Continue reading → [Link] 2011-02-04T03:37:37 [Comment]

#CCK11 resoconto per interposta persona

Normalmente non seguo i seminari per il semplice fatto che non sono in grado di comprendere  una conversazione in lingua inglese, se poi il tema è specialistico le difficoltà per me aumentano.  Per informarmi sullo svolgimento del seminario, sul suo argomento e sul gradimento non mi resta che cercare nei blog e individuare per leggere [...] [Link] 2011-02-04T01:43:34 [Comment]

profesorbaker, Profesorbaker's Blog
Dr. Peter Elbow’s story was amazing, wasn’t it? How many students finish their education, like Peter, without knowing how to write? Countless, no doubt… Writing is a skill that requires a lot of practice to do well. It’s not easy. … Continue reading → [Link] 2011-02-03T23:31:37 [Comment]

#CCK11 Connective Knowledge
Lars Was, eConnections
I just read Stephen’s paper (An Introduction on Connective Knowledge). An extensive text about the building blocks of connective knowledge. How knowledge exists and how it is influenced by us as human beings in a dynamic world. Throughout the reading I more and more got the feeling that not only knowledge but everything is “connected”.

Week03: Connective Knowledge (#CCK11)
swedinbalchik, Swedinbalchik's Blog » CCK11
I’m still backtracking to the discussions from the first week of the course, but this post will soon be updated… While there are still many educators developing their Digital Literacy and trying to implement Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in their teaching methods, Jeff Utecht (2010) is already promoting the introduction of Networked Literacy:  Networked [...] [Link] 2011-02-03T13:58:02 [Comment]

Week02: Patterns of Connectivity (#CCK11)
swedinbalchik, Swedinbalchik's Blog » CCK11
I will soon publish a Video presentation where I investigate ‘Patterns of Connectivity’.  In physics we do X and get the predictable result Y, but neural network (and social network) theory is more like meteorology. You succeed based on modelling and simulation, pattern recognition and interpretation, projection and predicting uncertainty. I have studied Air Pollution through [...] [Link] 2011-01-31T19:16:21 [Comment]

Week01: Connectivism?(#CCK11)
swedinbalchik, Swedinbalchik's Blog » CCK11
“Extended SOLO-Taxonomy” is my first attempt to record a video presentation, so bear with me.  I’m not native English speaking and without transcripts, re-takes or rehersal terms like “points within concept” (=related aspects)  and “big information” (=large amount of relevant content) can be confusing.  Finally the course name is “Connectivism and Connective Knowledge 2011“, nothing else This diagram illustrates the two [...] [Link] 2011-01-26T19:26:12 [Comment]

The Nature vs Nurture debate
Graeme Ferris, Complex Learning
This morning there was an interesting article on the BBC website about research into how much our genes influence our learning (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12339798) . The research suggests that our genetic disposition does play a very important role in the learning process, strengthening the case for "personalised learning".I had been thinking about this question a couple of weeks ago after quite a profound experience. It was my niece's 21st Birthday party and at one point I saw .... [Link] 2011-02-03T14:58:00 [Comment]
