PLN (Personal Learning Networks)






source:  http://www.connectivism.ca/

I have not experienced any new pedagogical theories while I was a student in elementary, middle and high school.  Or at least I don’t think I have.  So when Professor Ferree introduced this concept of learning to our class, I was wondering….how can I break-out of the instructor lead learning expectations and routine?  Okay, at this writing, I am somewhat intimidated by this whole concept.  I am uncertain on how to begin with building my own network for knowledge attainment.   

So I watched the video, read some definition of terms and discovered Connectivist teaching.   It is in line with the way people today access and process information with the use of technology.   We have changed the way we communicate (email and Skype), manage our finance (online banking and trading), buy goods and services (etailers and amazon), and socialize (Facebook and Youtube).  Why not change the way we deliver learning to students.   I think it is an endeavor well worth pursuing and I would very much to participate. 

Here are the two sites that I have visited so far to determine to help with my building my own PLN.
