Learning Challenges to Consider
1. Get comfortable with openness2. Embrace the infostream3. Practice connected learning4. Help students become connected
learners
Get Comfortable with Openness
• True Stories of Opennesshttp://stories.cogdogblog.com
• Creative Commonshttp://creativecommons.org
• Open Educational Resources (OER)https://www.oercommons.org
Embrace the InfoStream
• Information as a flow or stream– See danah boyd http://bit.ly/streamCSU – Choose: fight, float, or navigate (McCarthy, 1991)
• Practice: Consuming, Curating, Contributing– Establish access point(s) (e.g., Twitter)– Take in, screening for relevance– Mark for later use (e.g., “Favorite” in Twitter)– Retrieve when needed
Practice Connected Learning• Professional conferences good starting point
(e.g., resource sharing via official channels & Twitter back channel)
• Form/engage with a Personal Learning Network (PLN) See http://bit.ly/pln_intro
• Participate in a cMOOCSee http://bit.ly/mooclunch_resources01 for a starting point
October is Connected Educator Month
http://connectededucator.org has year-round resources but buzzes during October
Help Students Become Connected Learners
• Design activities for students to: Consume, Curate, Contribute– Model your own practice– Establish a mini-Personal Learning Network (PLN)– Set expectations (and scoring criteria?) for on-going
activity– Encourage students to spin off their own PLN
• Scaffold with supporting resources– Align with learning objectives– Provide examples– Link to how-to guides/tutorials
