Initial reflections on Slow Learning #change11
Clark Quinn, Learnlets, December 6, 2011.

---

I have to say that I found the comments on my initial post very interesting and challenging. A couple of themes have emerged that partly I want to elaborate on, and partly want to reflect upon. I believe in, and do try, ‘learning out loud’, so I’ll both try to elaborate and draw myself up short. [Comment]

Slow Learning – #change11
Clark, Learnlets
This is a longer post launching my week in the #change11 MOOC (Massively Open Online Course).   Our formal learning approaches too often don't follow how our brains really work.  We have magic now; we can summon up powerful programs to do our bidding, gaze through webcams across distances, and bring anyone and anything to [...] [Link] Sun, 04 Dec 2011 01:42:38 +0000 [Comment]

#Change11 Becoming – the Ontology
suifaijohnmak, Learner Weblog
This is my response to Louise’s post. Declarative knowledge is the species of knowledge that is, by its very nature, expressed in declarative sentences or indicative propositions.  This distinguishes descriptive knowledge from what is commonly known as “know-how”, or procedural knowledge (or the procedural … Continue reading → [Link] Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:35:03 +0000 [Comment]

Hey, I guess I’m a gamer after all!
brainysmurf1234, Connecting the dots
Thanks to Clark Aldrich for reminding me of the wonder of computer games and simulations in #change11 last week.  I hadn’t thought of myself as a ‘gamer’ in the modern sense of World of Warcraft (Wow) devotees or snipers in Call of Duty (CoD) and yet I find myself making comments on blog posts of Jaap’s [...] [Link] Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:11:07 +0000 [Comment]

#change11 Slow Learning Visualized
x28, x28's new Blog » change11
Connectivism talks about conceptual connections of varying strength, and learning involves gradually strengthening connections. I visualize these slowly growing connections like ridges emerging from the ground, and I think the time lapse video of ebbing tide shows them nicely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/suraky/4230976574/ [Link] Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:43:21 +0000 [Comment]

“Becoming over memory”? #change11
Louise, Not Worth Printing
Cormier’s “Becoming over memory” Dave Cormier criticizes a common practice of teaching that focuses too much on repeating and memory, rather than becoming and knowledge. This practice is said to be partly conditioned by the the print culture, where knowledge is packaged in the form of a book for the learners to consume.  Cormier, however, [...] [Link] Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:29:57 +0000 [Comment]

Soft educational technologies in the age of networked intelligence #change11
Louise, Not Worth Printing
Using the definition of technology as “orchestration of phenomena to our use”, Jon Dron in this presentation, distinguishes between soft and hard technologies. Soft technologies are more “needy”and require active orchestration of phenomena by humans; hard technologies, on the other hand, do not require much human intervention, given that the act of manipulating the technology [...] [Link] Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:32:37 +0000 [Comment]

#Change11 Sharing and engaging in MOOC
suifaijohnmak, Learner Weblog
In online learning, asynchronous interaction and participation is important in MOOC. Sharing and contribution via blogging, forum posting could ensure that participants learn through social networking and personal reflection and practice. However, there are challenges for those who are more … Continue reading → [Link] Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:40:56 +0000 [Comment]

Teacher-tech use for learning - Part 2
George, EdTech - Insights
In the previous post on the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) from the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, I asked if it could be incorporated as a model for evaluating technology use by teachers. Clearly this was the intention of the matrix and, since it had exemplar material for each of the intersections, it could also be a guide as to how to move up to higher levels of technology integration.It has proved difficult to use the categories as they are. Firstly, the vertical ....

Ditch the GPS; Get Lost Instead
Andrew Neuendorf, Junct Blog
In Cognitive Surplus, Clay Shirky points out that major changes to society often happen so quickly they don't leave time for anyone to adjust. This results in chaos that traditional solutions can't fix. In fact, tradition has been displaced. There is no plan for going forward, but no way to go back. Shirky's main example is the beginning of the Industrial Era in London when a rapid influx of people into the city created social chaos, new opportunities for leisure, and mass ....

Rhizomes and education. What would my ideal learning situation be? #change11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
What would my ideal learning situation be? I like to struggle on my own trying to find answers on my questions. Of course I do need people on my path in the gardens of learning, but I do not like teachers. Teachers always want to show their flowers and almost never want to see my [...] [Link] Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:01:49 +0000 [Comment]

Eröffnung des ZML-Leseclubs mit Etienne Wenger’s Social learning capability
jupidu, ZML Didaktik / Innovative Learning Scenarios
Im Rahmen des change  MOOC  las ich Etienne Wenger’s vier Artikel Social learning spaces, Learning citizenship, Social artists und Learning governance – und wollte dann unbedingt mit anderen darüber diskutieren, da diese Artikel aktuelle Trends beschreiben, wie sich Lernen verändert und die ich in meiner Arbeit und meinen eigenen Lernprozessen stark wahrnehme.
