Learning in Communities - Networked Collaborative Learning: Topic 3 ONL221

 What I know before this:

I never even thought about schools being a social thing at all!


What I want to learn about this:

I didnt even set out to want to think about this!


What I have learnt about this:

LOADS, as usual!

Firstly - about how relationally we exist:

Dron, J. & Anderson, T. (2014). Teaching crowds: Learning and social media. Athabasca University Press. Fig 3.1, Page 73

Learning the definitions:
Tagging the right social software to the correct social form and their respective characteristics:
I think a picture tells a thousand words. If I were addressing a group, due to the motivations of how the group was set up, the use of MOOCS/LMS would not be effective for "Sets" purely because they did not come into this form to learn structured knowledge, whereas for a "Group" e.g. a class etc with a formal structure, there would be a motivation to learn things, get a particular grade/cert to pass out. Twitter would have the opposite effect. As such, it would even mean that how we would market the information would be important!

Food for much thought!

So I spent some time looking at the DigComp framework and I realised that the issue with Digital Competency and the definitions of the different levels of competencies and I cannot help but feel like the whole issue is quite complex. It is almost like learning a whole new language in order to communicate in a new country. For the purpose of ease of reference, I have pasted the link to the document here: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC106281 So I think about my own father and my parents in law. In laws are older but definitely more digitally competent than my father. My mother is somewhere in between. So I think to myself, that age is not a good predictor. Perhaps, the ability to navigate is for sure like David White's description of native vs visitor. And by form and function, because one is forced to use it (like my children since they had to be schooled on home-based learning during COVID-19 stay

At the end of ONL221 (Topic 5) - MY REFLECTIONS

  At the end of the ONL221, this badge sums up how I feel What have I learnt through my engagement in the ONL221 course? To learn, is to try to contribute and to do. The power of a community of learning is undeniable! How will that influence my practice? I am thinking about how to continue learning in this manner, but yet at the same time, I constantly struggled to read new material and cope with contribution. Perhaps, a good way forward is to receive an "injection" of boluses every now and then.  My thoughts about use of technology to enhance my learning/teaching This was the very reason why I joined this course, to learn how to use technology better to enhance teaching and learning activities for my students. I was a fan and still am a fan and will always stay a fan of learning new things to keep class engagement going. However, I am concerned about whether I could afford the time to be committed to these regular new tools. I love that handbook developed  What will I do as
