This document discusses system connectedness in education and teaching strategies to promote it. System connectedness refers to understanding how individual actions impact others and society. It is challenging to teach because it requires a more open and collaborative approach than traditional education. Connected learning environments are equitable, production-centered, share common goals, and allow networking across settings. The document recommends project-based learning, focusing on community roles, and technology like video calls to connect students globally and build system connectedness.
Connectivism has been developed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes based on their analysis of the limitations of traditional learning theories to explain the effect technology has had on how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.

Digital pedagogy is using digital tools to enhance teaching and learning experience. It offers the possibility of enabling more interaction among students and instructors and increasing student academic success. Educators who incorporate digital pedagogy in classroom re-creates the contemporary worlds which their students encounter every day. This paper provides a brief introduction to digital pedagogy.

Unified Yet Separated - Empirical Study on the Impact of Hierarchical Positio...Martin Rehm
Communities of Learning (CoL) are suggested to facilitate the co-construction of knowledge among participants of online trainings. Yet, previous studies often detached participants from the social context in which learning took place. The manuscript addresses this shortcoming by providing empirical evidence from 30 CoL of a global organization, where 337 staff members from different hierarchical positions collaboratively enhanced their knowledge via asynchronous discussion forums. The results from four dedicated studies clearly indicate that the higher participants’ hierarchical position, the higher their amount of social and cognitive messages, and the more central their network position within CoL. However, we also identified a group of “Stars” that outperformed their colleagues and who were at the centre of CoL networks, irrespective of their hierarchical positions. Based on these findings, HRD practitioners can better design and facilitate future collaborative learning activities that build upon the strength and weaknesses of all participants.
Academics should reclaim their voice in society, NOW!Inge de Waard

I think we (all of us academics) should start reclaiming our place in society.
Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism and other growing theories such as Actor-Network and Connectivism are circulating in the educational field. For each, there are allies who stand behind research evidence and consistency of observation. Meantime, those existing theories dominate the field until the background is changed or new concrete evidence proves their insufficiencies. Connectivists claim that the background or the general climate has recently changed: a new generation of researchers, connectivists propose a new way of conceiving knowledge. According to them, knowledge is a network and learning is a process of exploring this network. Other researchers find this notion either not clear or not new and probably, with no effect in the education field. This paper addresses a foggy understanding of knowledge defined as
a network and the lack of resources talking about this topic. Therefore, it tries to clarify what it means to define knowledge as a network and in what way it can affect teaching and learning.

Principals' tour: Social networks, social learningKaren Spencer
This presentation gives an overview of:
- what is social learning, using social media/networking tools?
- why should schools think about the opportunities here?
- how might they start.
Originally shared with South Island Secondary Principals on 20 May 2011.
This presentation looks at the changing ways in which young people are using technology for playing, for communication and for learning.
It suggests that the education systems are failing to respond to new ways of learning.
The presentation goes on to propose the development of Personal Learning Environments, based largely on social software especially as a way of reflecting on informal learning.

2. What is system
connectedness?
Understanding that what you do effects
others.
Understanding that what you do effects
you, good or bad.
Understanding one’s individual identity.
Understanding that one needs society
and the world.
Understanding that we all need each
other and are connected.
3. Challenges in teaching it…
System connectedness requires more of an
open way of teaching and learning.
Currently, education is very closed in that we
(students and teachers) are isolated from one
another more than learning together.
“In general, this means designing a system
that is more open, organic, pluralistic, and
complex.” (Betts, pgs. 38-41)
Basically requires lots of teamwork, and a new
way at looking at education all around.
4. Connected learning
environments are…
Equitable: embody equity, since of belonging,
and participation
Production-centered: creating a wide variety
of media, cultural content, and knowledge in
experimental and active ways
Shared-purposed: social media and web-based
communities support opportunities for
connectedness
Openly networked: online platforms that allow
for learning to take place across all learner
settings
5. Incorporating it…
Project-based learning is a great way to
incorporate system connectedness
In a unit, a great way to help students
connect to the community is by teaching a
unit on community helpers.
Specific community helpers that would be
good to focus on include: Police Officers,
Teachers, Store Clerks, Lawyers, Doctors, etc.
This will also help support any ELL students that
you may have in your classroom.
6. Incorporating it across the
board…
Use resources such as Skype or Google
Hangouts to connect with others around the
globe that you may know. They could simply
read a book aloud to the students.
Use resources such as Edmodo to connect
home to school providing continued learning.
Connections to life skills in math (i.e. using
money) vertically in the curriculum to show
students where they are going from early
grades.
7. How it is being used now…
As mentioned previously, project-based
learning is being used to facilitate global
teaching.
Use of “current events” to help create system
connectedness in classroom.
Virtual pen pals are being used to help
students all over the world connect to on
another.
Virtual field trips have also been used as well.
