A hectic week and not much time to think about connectivism as a theory. Some ideas I would like to explore:
- Connect connectivism with ·learning and the brain ·. Explore what reflections on – a whole new mind – and Daniel Pink have in common or completely not. Brain, neural networks and connectivism, interesting paths to explore. OECD recently published a book :”Learning and the brain, towards a new learning science“. Some transdisciplinary thinknig ahead.
- Connect connectivism with the global reflections on – The world is Flat – from Thomas Friedman.
- Apply connectivism as a theory in a vocational educational context and see what kind of implications this has for vocational training. Anyone has suggestions on this aspect?
These thinking paths and a general review of the connectivism theory I will integrate in the first assignment for this course.
