#change11 week 4 - CCC and #Collective Learning
CCC is my abbreviation of Collaborative Conceptual Change. Following my PhD research in computer science education, I wrote about a collaborative process of learning recursion in computer science high school classes in Israel, in which one can actually trace the conceptual change learners are going through when discussing recursion.
Is this another example of collective learning?

from one to many, 20th vs 21st century education
חינוך במאה ה20: מאחד/ת (מורה) להמון (לומדים)
20th century education: from one (teacher) to many (learners)
חינוך במאה ה21: מהמון (מקורות מידע) לאחד/ת (לומד/ת)
21th century education: from many (information resources) to one (learner)

We Want Your Videos →
דוגמה מעניינת של איסוף “הקול השיתופי” בנושא חינוך פתוח, ליצירת הרצאת פתיחה מבוססת חכמת ההמונים.
“In the spirit of openness we would like to invite YOU to participate in a crowd-sourced keynote. Our vision is to create a keynote video that highlights the collective voice on the value of openness.”
תודה לסטפן דאונס שפרסם את הרעיון בדיילי (יומון) שלו.

On Collective Intelligence and MOOCs #PLENK2010
A recent article in the Boston Globe made me think about the kinds of collective intelligence developments that are afforded by MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses).

Wikipedia presents four principles for collective intelligence to exist: Openness (for sharing intellectual property), Peering, Sharing, and Acting...

Metaphor for Creative Sense Sharing
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your quite poetic description of the difference between your seventh grader and the one in Wendy’s video. I think it’s a lovely example of metaphor as creativity.

#PLENK Week 9: PLE in the seventh grade
A cool video from Wendy Wexler research:
7th grader’s PLE
Well, I have a 7th grader at home as well. An ocean separates between them, and its not the Atlantic.
#PLENK Week 8: PKM in a recursive era
wed session brings me back to fractals and my PhD… (after week 4 or so took me back to metaphors and my MSc…). does it mean that nothing new under the sun???
in the daily, Teemu Arina shared his presentation, starting with my favorite example of the green recursive vegetable

A conflict? #PLENK2010
G. Siemens says: “Being literate requires technical skills, conceptual mindsets, as well as an attitude of tolerance of complexity and ambiguity”. (taken from Ken Anderson in the week 6 discussion forum http://ple.elg.ca/course/moodle/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=441)

Some un-polished thoughts on metaphors #PLENK2010
These are the links to my thoughts while watching the recordings of Fri Oct 15 (week 5, became available only on Sat, and for me only on Mon…), and then while participating in the Wed Oct 20 live session (of week 6).
Metaphors are all over again (a continuation to my MSc thesis from 1991:)

My links for week 4 #plenk2010
Sunday 10.10.10, 10:10 pm:
10 tabs are currently open in my laptop, most of them remained open since the friday session.The fact they were kept open demonstrate their importance for me - I went over (=read or watched) them all, but haven’t yet summarized…
1. My blog
2. Twitter discussion http://twitter.com/#search/%23PLENK2010
3. The amazing WEB 3.0 video - watched it twice!...
PLE/PLN/PLT?
Today’s elluminate session was ground breaking for me: first time to actively participate.
(1) I dared to post a question about using twitter in the chatroom. The answer came immediately (from Stephen, thanks!): put #PLENK2010 in my posts, search for #PLENK2010 within twitter. But I already knew that… somehow I thought there is a more … organized? easy to follow? elegant?...

The difference between online/recorded session
For the first time in this course, I’m able to join the online session of week 4 on time (well, 5 min late but still…).
I placed the blog window in the left, the elluminate windows on the right. 20 min into the session, I cant track the chat room. So I hide it with the blog window.
25:00 min on - good briefing of learning theories. 30:00 - connectionism. 36:00 - connectivism:...
Openness is the key
http://www.ascilite.org.au/ajet/ajet26/drexler.html suggests a detailed description of a test case in high school, including tasks, tools etc. Good one to follow?
I have to give up most of the readings of week2. Just dont have time. Began from Anderson, briefly went over it, and next began to read the panel. I can’t read it, and prefer to listen to the wednesday session than to the...

Wow, ~12min of the recording of the first week Elluminate session - 15 September 2010 - Week 1 Wednesday Discussion
Amazing example of dynamic collaborative networked thinking. How can it be analyzed? How do we make sense of it while being part of it? and I “only” watched, couldn’t type in my ideas and didn’t have to think about my own definitions…
Its 1:45 am now,...
My first learning experience
Friday noon, nothing better to do. Reading George Siemens mail reminded me of my registration a couple of weeks ago. Then, no guide was available. Today, week 3 of the course is almost here. Can I follow what i’ve missed?
At least I try. 2pm - trying to find where to begin in the course site. Reading some posts in PLENK Moodle forums http://ple.elg.ca/course/moodle/mod/forum/view.php?id=38....
