The Reform: Connectivism

Connectivism

There is much concern about the way we learn, at least from my part. Connectivism as I understand is way of learning, a tool, an appeal to what could be an evolutionary step in our society. We are at a brink to step into how the future will shape our knowledge. It seems as though right now we have just put out all the pieces and are starting to gather bits of information to form our future. Conectivism is, right now the tool and the way we are learning. At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.

When I picture Connectivism in mind, it reminds me of early days as a child. I love playing with my lego blocks. I remember putting all the pieces together from everything I had and try to design my own worlds, gas station, house, etc. Learning Theory must be implemented though, and as future teachers we must give shape to the future.
