IT STARTS WITH PEOPLE AND THE STORIES THEY SHARE.
“The power lies in the hearts and minds of the people we connect. Social media just increases that circle of
influence further than we could ever imagine.”via Chris McCaffrey

“Technology is rapidly enhancing and extending opportunities for professional learning. It particularly facilitates access to, sharing,
construction, and analysis of information to enhance practice. Technology exponentially
increases possibilities for personalizing, differentiating, and deepening learning,
especially for educators who have limited access to on-site professional learning or who are eager
to reach beyond the boundaries of their own work setting to join local or global networks to enrich
their learning.”Learning Forward (2012)

ConnectivismKey principles:
Knowledge is networked and distributed.
The experience of learning is one of forming new neural, conceptual and external networks.
Learning occurs in complex, chaotic, shifting spaces.
Our networked experiences are increasingly aided by technology. http://www.connectivism.ca/about.html
“A learning theory for the digital age” -George Siemens

Rhizomatic Learning“In the rhizomatic model of learning, curriculum is not
driven by predefined inputs from experts;
it is constructed and negotiated in real time by the contributions of those engaged in the learning process.
This community acts as the curriculum, spontaneously shaping, constructing, and reconstructing itself and the subject of its learning in the same way that the rhizome
responds to changing environmental conditions.”
Dave Cormier (2008)

PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORK
“a group of people who can guide your learning, point you to learning
opportunities, answer your questions, and give you the benefit
of their own knowledge and experience” (Tobin, 1998)
