Lesson “actif node in network” #cck11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
The nodes in a network are active. Information will be led to other nodes, or it is rejected or not sent.

profesorbaker, Profesorbaker's Blog
Doctors aren’t treated like teachers. Doctors are special people. They save lives. Again and again, day after day, routinely, somewhere on the planet, a doctor is saving someone’s life. Another routine event in the day of a doctor is bringing … Continue reading → [Link] 2011-02-18T08:27:35 [Comment]

Some CCK11 Notes from Class Discussion with George Siemens
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
W1 - define was connectivism is.  Our knowledge is connected across networks, it's not just in our heads.  We learn how to access that information using various tools and "connections".  New research and new information keeps changing the information we have.  We don't learn everything in our head. What is a learning theory? - describes how learning happens or how it occurs.  A learning theory should meet these and these needs and then show how it is .... [Link] 2011-02-18T02:58:00 [Comment]

jennieteacher@gmail.com (Jennie Scott-McKenzie), Schoolz and Toolz

Actor Network Theory: a short critique
Wolfgang Greller, Reflections on the Knowledge Society
A bit belated perhaps, but I now got round catching up a bit on readings and activities in CCK11. One of the topics was Actor Network Theory (ANT). I read the books, I saw the movie, but I still don’t get the point. The only value I see in ANT is as a sociological perspective [...] [Link] 2011-02-17T19:47:29 [Comment]

First Day of School: A Moment To Connect With You #CCK11 #ELTchat
profesorbaker, Profesorbaker's Blog
First day of school. Meet and greet. Smile. Organize. Check out. Amid the hustle and bustle, I’ve taken a moment. To sit. To be still. It may be the last time I do this. I wonder. Will you still be … Continue reading → [Link] 2011-02-17T18:23:46 [Comment]

You do not know that you know it #cck11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
Gillian asked the question it is possible that something or someone in a network affects you without you knowing. Or, in other words, can you receive information and  your situation changes and you are not aware of it? I think everyone has examples of such “unconscious” influence. (I do not mean “unconscious” in psychoanalytic sense  but [...] [Link] 2011-02-17T14:00:21 [Comment]
