- #12 We live in a time when knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate. People’s roles, jobs and skills change many times over a lifetime - so the ability to keep learning essential. Learning is more critical than knowing. “Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today” (Siemens)This is a basic principle of connectivism, an influential theory of learning for a digital age first put forward by George Siemens.He also said “the network is the learning” - new knowledge can be found in many places, distributed across a network of connections, so in order to learn we need to be able to “construct and traverse those networks” (NB “network”= the pipeline(how you connect), people (who can tell you what you need to know) or things (e.g. websites, corpus data)In the “old” days, new knowledge was only available through universities, conferences or articles. Nowadays this know-how is available to EVERYONE, we just have to know where to look - or who to ask.
- #14 Karen: If you had told me my PLN would look like this a year ago, I would have laughed in your face! I wasn’t even on Facebook let alone Twitter…..and had no idea what PLN meant…Twitter & Blogs are larger font as these have the most impact on my learning at the moment (explain briefly some of the connections in the diagram).You can see how connected the PLN is. I learn from many many other people, and with other people: I am basically connected to a global staffroom of engaged and interested teachers…..>>
