Network

So this week wer are discussing  Connectivism vs Constructivism and social networking. Which I found kind of redundent after reading and researching more on each of these theories. They are almost identical in every way and the information that is available on both comes from allot of the same socurces. There are a sundry of good resources onve being from George Siemens who is a major contributor to the Connectivisim movement. Ther is allot of data on the comparison of Cognitivisim, Behaviorism, Connectivism and Social learning therories and how they interact and he works deeply on the importance and move in the digital age of education and learning. There is a focus on seve aspects that are influencital of connectivism that he explores in his paper and explains a sundry of elements for todays educational experiences in the digital world. As well he hosts a site http://www.elearnspace.org/ that hosts a book Knowing is Knowledge. I found it very interesting and has allot good information and resources for people like us in the ID field.
