Thanks for the concept map. Nice to see the contrast in approaches from your
first attempt to the current.

Concept maps are obviously personal views – i.e. it’s how you see the
content of the course. As such, I generally don’t evaluate how learners
connect the content, and focus instead on the domains included (i.e. I’m
looking for breadth and consideration of impact, not particular details).

Great work on your map. The focus of needed skills for educators and
learners is vital. We can’t assume people will have the skills
automatically. We need to find ways to ensure both educators and learners
have the basic skills required to participate.

An important consideration in connectivism is the power shift between
educator/learner. You allude to this somewhat in your diagram. I was looking
for more explicit mention of how connections and connectedness contribute to
learning in general. In your diagram, you’ve taken a more practical focus by
looking at pedagogy, tool selection, etc.

My observation is that only some, a very small percentage, of teachers are using the the new educational technologies to transform the way they teach and the way students learn.

Others, slightly more, are using the tools to augment the existing paradigm and, sadly, the vast majority are blissfully unaware that such tools even exist!
