Wider than a Wiki
I was very glad that how to navigate this course & use Wikis & Blogs was supported by the step by step Activities and the theory of Behaviourism. Following the scaffold for Blog Reflections had helped me organise my learning & storage of thoughts. I will gladly use this cognitive constructivism theory in action in the form of concept mapping as it supports my global learning style for a need to see the whole picture each week.
The on line tutorial was a helpful Social scafolding through Wendy's questioning, examples and fellow contributions. Certainly all contributors (the expert community) have been invaluable to my learning (Social constructivism) and the scaffolding from the web sites and PMI has helped my understanding of learning theory.
Being a digital immigrant (Prensky, 2001) I have this week engaged, using my digital accent, in Blogs and Wikis. Certainly the networking advantage of Connectivism is evident after only one week!
With learning design, this week has shown me the advantages of a continuum of practice when I deliver a unit of competence.
The purpose behind this week, I believe, was to realise that point, and to highlight the advantages of accessing others who hold knowledge and information.
Personally, I have had some frustrating moments, but I believe problems can be solved. It can only get better from here!
