Overview
What makes Connectivism distinct from other learning theories? That's going to be the subject of week 4 in the course -- the short version, though, is that connective knowledge is grown, not built, it is natural, not intentional, and it is inherent, not representative. We examine the differences between Connectivism, Activity Theory, Actor Network Theory (ANT) and Connectivism and Constructivism. Each of these are complex topics that require more in-depth discussion than we have time for this week. However, recognizing these theories and how they are related to each other is important in order to situate connectivism.

Trilhas do conhecimento Conectivo
Tereza Elisabeth,
1219 - lúcidaTranslúcida #CCK11, February 6, 2011.
Hi Jaapsoft
Estou a responder a sua questão, e obrigado por postar em meu blog e ter o trabalho de tradução, ok
Explico a frase "Cada aluno tece o seu tecido, com os seus padrões diferentes. Validar é necessário, dar valor também."
Cada aluno é único, diferente, mesmo que pertencente a uma mesma comunidade ou etnia. As suas vivências familiares influenciam a sua percepção do conhecimento, ok
Falo do ato de tecer em conjunto e e nos moldes do "tecido Conjuntivo"explicado por S. Downes.
Online ou offline, os padrões influênciam no seu modo de aprender, os caminhos são diferentes, e como o conhecimento é amplo é muito mais fácil para um professor desejar que nada seja diferente, mas a diversidade existe, como também é diverso o modo de aprender.
Cabe aí validar a individualidade de cada aluno e dar valor à diversidade, pois a aula poderá ser mais criativa.
aqui no Brasil, não contamos com diferenças culturais fortes como devem existir nos EUA...
Mas mesmo assim, há diversidade.

My experience

Enter your comment here
My experience in a vocational school made me think a lot of use on the approach proposed by the theory of network connectivity and I feel close to the critical Antonio Calvani.
The basis of our society is made up of people who have very little technical expertise, technical, cultural and motivational why I think that only after great efforts by teachers and appropriate support will be able to acquire the minimum skilss and awareness that, perhaps, allow them to use the net benefit of an intelligence and connective knowledge

Le copier-coller, clé de la productivité textuelle (CCK11/2)
christine-vaufrey, Le blog de Christine Vaufrey
Le copier-coller n’est pas uniquement l’opération qui permet aujourd’hui tous les plagiats littéraires et universitaires. C’est aussi la clé de la productivité textuelle et un texte qui n’est pas “copiable-collable” est un texte mort.
Voici l’argument que défendait Steven Berlin Johnson voici quelques mois devant les étudiants en journalisme de l’université de Columbia.
J’ai découvert le texte [...] [Link]

Proud Connections to the Blue Cloud People
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
"Looking at Your Connection Network with New Eyes"
So last week when I saw that you make a visualized map of your connections on Linkedin I thought excellent, I want to see how mine compares to the example they show. And voila here it is.
Compared with examples I was kind of embarrassed on how small mine was. It didn't look very dynamic or exciting at all. How was I to share this with #CCK11? Look how few connections I have. I need more peers!!!.... [Link]

An Example of Emergent Learning
jennymackness, Jenny Connected
The open connectivism courses that are run by Stephen Downes and George Siemens are rich with examples of emergent learning and whether or not intended, the design of these courses can promote emergent learning. The CCK11 Elluminate session on Friday last (4 th Feb – recording here) was an example of this. Stephen found himself [...] [Link]

Thinking Inside of the Circle May Be Just What You Need
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
Okay, so the real saying is "Think Outside of the Box", but two postings I saw this recently were so far out of the box for me that I started to wonder if it's a way of thinking I can every accomplish. Maybe my thinking is outside sometimes, but the real genius is inside the circle or tip-toeing around the triangle or maybe skipping around the hexagon. Whatever the phrase might be, these two gentlemen displayed some great ingenuity.
Bruce Graham is one of these .... [Link]

Actor Network Theory (ANT)

One of the subjects this week in CCK11 is Actor Network Theory (ANT). As no reader or link is presented in the coursebook, I like to find some sources on Actor Network Theory (ANT).

To me cck11 isn´t knowledge until it´s used
Linn, Jakten på den perfekta lektionen
When I was in teachers school, some taught us "try not lecture to much when you teach, research show that people will typically stop listening after only ten minutes", by lecturing to us (for hours and hours).You can understand something but then act yourself like you didn´t understand it. Like I understand a lot about a healthy lifestyle and yet keep on acting like I didn´t.The "knowledge" then has no impact in practice.I prefer to look at knowledge as something that really changes ....

The difference between learning and teaching
noreply@blogger.com (Verónica Vázquez Zentella), Con sabor educativo
CCK11When I was studying pedagogy twenty years ago, teaching and learning were a single word, single concept. Then, years later, I found out that these words weren’t inseparable. Now, everything is about learning and, according to some people, it has very little, or even nothing, to do with teaching.Gee! I wouldn´t be so sure about that. Let me explain myself. Let’s think for a moment that learning is like eating. (I know the analogy doesn’t quite make it, but let’s think it does.) So, .... [Link]

LinkedIn Network Map - Week 2 of #cck11

My connections within LinkedIn are still quite limited. I used the site inmaps for LinkedIn
Completing this map was fun, but i wish i had more connections in LinkedIN to see it in a complex network map. Next I would love to do it with my twitter friends of over 400. I would like to visualise my network and see how it fits in. There should be an application that does this. (I would love to know of a tool if anyone can help). I would then like to work out which parts of my network .... [Link]
