Student Free Day - DPL Intensive

Thank you to the Learning Technology Committee for running this Professional Development today. I think there was a really positive energy in K9 because people could see they were part of something bigger than themselves and feel that they are not on this path on their own.

It is always great to look at other people's portfolios but my learning style is one of collaboration. My task is to find myself a DPL buddy to help me engage in the learning theorists. Yes, I know I have to mention the word "connectivism" - but I was the same at uni ... unless I truly understood what I was submitting, it just wasn't learning for me.

BTW ... thanks Steve for asking me to do the little walkthru of Blackboard ... I hope it gave you a chance to help people one:one - loved the impromptu visit from the boss too :) Don't forget to send the pics for my portfolio.

DPL Virtual Classroom

I have logged on tonight to have a look around the new DPL Virtual Classroom (BlackBoard Course). Thank you Janelle for putting all this information in one repository & providing some links to other people's portfolios. I am looking forward to the learning journey this time ... and nailing the DPL!

What is Connectivism?

Is Connectivisim a learning theory or a pedagogical view?

As I begin another journey to gain my Digital Pedagogical License (http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/pdframework/dp-licence.html), this is one question I would like to investigate as part of that journey.
