Tag: Connectivism
This week, I was asked to develop
a mind map that illustrates my network connections. It shows how these networks provide me with information and support, and how I access different people and technologies to help me learn.
How has your network changed the way you learn? My network has showed / given / provided me with vast amount of resources in order for me to grow / expand my knowledge. It has also given me better ways of learning and using what I have learned in my everyday life.
Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you? The digital tools that best facilitate my learning would be Google Docs, Google Reader, Google Blogger, and Google Sites.
How do you gain new knowledge when you have questions? I gain new knowledge by using Google, Google Scholar, Google Reader, Walden Universities resources, Discovery Education, and Wikipedia.
In what ways does your personal learning network support or refute the central tenets of connectivism? According to Wikipedia, "Connectivism is a theory of learning based on the premise that knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of an individual". (Wikipedia 2012) I can say that my personal learning network supports the central tenets of connectivism because there are so many resources and technologies available that I can learn freely at my own pace and choose which resource or technology I want to use.
