The Networked Student by Wendy Drexter is a video about the preparation to learn in the 21st century. This video explains the thought of connectivism. Connectivism is a theory in which learning occurs as a part of a social network with many diverse connections.
The point the teacher is trying to make was that student's in the twenty-first century need to learn how to use the internet wisely, with using "Networked Student", students are taught how to use Google and WikiLinks, then they are to write about it in a blog. Students use the information also by sharing it with other classmates and teachers. This is a great way for students to learn technology.
A 7th Grader's Personal Learning Network
I thought A 7th Grader's Personal Learning Environment (or PLN) was really good! The student used a program, called Symbaloo. Compared to this seventh grader, my PLN is lacking a lot. Currently, I am learning more and more about the different ways I can learn using the internet and different programs like Delicious. The student is so excited about her own personal learning network. This shows how much students love to learn, using technology.

ReplyDeletePamela,
ReplyDeleteYou gave a good explanation as to what the videos are about. I liked the video about the 7th grader using Symbaloo for her science class. Symbaloo will defiantly come in handy for me and my future students.
My only advice would be to include pictures, links, and give more of your opinion about the videos you have watched in your blog. Reason that I suggest to include links in your blog is for those who may have not watched these videos can go explore them and have a better understanding of what you are discussing in your blog post.
Keep it up!

Hey Pamela,
ReplyDeleteThis post is incomplete. You needed at least three paragraphs for the networked student, and you only have two. One paragraph usually has at least 5 sentences, and your paragraphs only have 3 sentences. Email me if you have any questions: stephen.akins1@gmail.com
