Some argument to learning theories...

As perceptions of learning are changing in the digital age, so are theories.  This is certainly no effort to "buck the system," but I find the alternative views on learning theory interesting.  If we are all different, we don't all learn the same way, right?  This link is simply some food for thought...

  1. So Katharine, how do you connect this speaker's view on social learning networks, such as our using of blogs for this course, with learning. So you see that social learning and communities is very important to meaningful learning?

    BTW, who is the person presenting in the video and what are his credentials? That's always valuable information to include with this type of resource.

  2. I agree with learning being an internal and external experience. Also, I just posted links to the background information of the man in the video, George Siemens. I researched him prior to making the video post but thought his credentials would appear when the YouTube video played.
