The way the Networked Student video was displayed was very unique. I thought it was neat how there were paper cut-outs of the explained material. I, myself, do not like the concept of connectivism. The way that I see understand it is that we learn from other diverse people's social networks. It is a good idea to see other's opinions on what they think about a certain topic, but I don't think I would like the idea of learning the material completely on my own.
I do like the fact that many resources are available for the student to learn. I am sure this type learning helps students expand their knowledge in a variety of ways.
Am I prepared to be a teacher of a networked student you may ask. I do not think I am. I feel that this type of learning could be very complicated for me. Maybe if I actually tried being a networked student myself, I could see the pros and cons of the whole thing. Maybe it is not as confusing as it may seem.
networks can be used by individuals or groups of individuals. The networked learner draws from a multitude of experts and repositories of information. I think you misunderstood what Ms. Drexler was saying.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Erica. I don't like the idea of connectivism at all. I think a lot of students may get lost with this kind of learning. I know I probably would.
