When I first read the “theory” posed by Siemens I pretty much thought it was nonsense.  I still do.  That means I agree with the “con” point of view of my colleagues who posed their ideas at: http://bcegradspace08.wikispaces.com/Con+Connectivism I agree with the critics that say it is a pedagogical ... http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/04/17/7a3-brien-a-view-of-connectivism/ I really do like SKYPE – when I’m not doing others things on the computer.  What I’ve learned to do is mark myself as “unavailable” during certain times of the day.  I do like the fact that my friends and I can carry on a conversation immediately.  I’m not bit ... http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/04/15/7c2-skype-ideas/ After a few retakes, I think I've got it! : )  I had fun doing this and now I think I'll take a nap!  I hope you like my first foray into online broadcasting.  Have a neat day! Sue 6b3.MP3 http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/04/08/6b3-im-in-the-podcast-mood/ I saw many pictures that I thought were interesting and I suppose that several could be used for a blog or Wiki.  I’m more apt to use pictures that I have taken, or, as you may have noticed, drawings and other “art” work.  I do envision that my students could ... http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/04/06/6a1-flickr-this-possibility/ A Wiki in My Classroom I had the opportunity to work in a Wiki with a few others in another class.  We all posted poems, or plans, or our collective ideas on the subject and wrote replies to each other right in the Wiki.  It was a little easier than ... http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/04/04/5d1-a-wiki-in-my-classroom/ LESSON PLAN FOR SOCIAL BOOKMARKING  I will first need to determine what my students know about social bookmarking.  I suspect that many will have some idea about them, but may have not considered them as a means to enhance their own learning and teaching.  To that end, I will facilitate a ... http://susan1967.edublogs.org/2008/03/28/4d2-a-plan-for-rss/
