An aspect of technology that I find very exciting is the ability to build a collection or archive and present it in a "space" that is widely accessible to anyone with an internet connection.  Some examples that I can think of are the Museum of Anthropology's MOA-CAT, an online catalogue of a portion of their collection.  As well as Vancouver Art in the Sixties, a great online archive of the city's rich subversive and conceptual recent art history.

In a small way, I was interested in exploring methods of collecting on the padlet I used for my portion of the Vygotsky presentation.

In regards to implementing FPPL, padlet, or other platforms can be used to collect learners' and teachers' experiences in a way where the direct or indirect connections are visable, and participants can interact with them at their own pace/leisure.

When I look at FPPL, the concepts I find most meaningful are the ones that focus on the importance of the community. A lot of Eastern philosophy is rooted in serving the family and the community, rather than the individual and I think those ideas are also reflected in FPPL. In terms of theory, I think Vygotsky's social constructivism has a lot of similarities. There's a huge focus on members of the community being part of the learning process, and it sees elders in particular as those who can guide the younger generation to achieve a higher understanding. I think the resiliency of the First Nation's also demonstrates the strength of social constructivism. Even though so much of their knowledge has now been lost, some of it continues to be passed on because the social connections between learner and teacher are so strong.

Hi, H-M here (I don't have an Padlet account). I took ETEC521 over the summer semester and I think it is one of the most enlightening courses I have ever taken, just because it provoked a lot of reflection. Technology is good like that, and we got to watch and be present as an Elder told his story. It's also awesome that we get to interact with individuals who bring so much knowledge to the table and we get first-hand feedback from someone who has experienced the world from a First Nations perspective.

Echoing what others have said, I think the FPPL absolutely align with social constructivism. The roles of collaboration and social interaction in social constructivism mirror the emphasis placed on relational learning in the FPPL. Both social constructivism and the FPPL acknowledge that learning builds on past experiences and is "embedded in memory." New knowledge is co-constructed with others through reciprocal relationships and connectedness.

FPPL and constructivism share many similarities in the approach to learning. They both recognize the unique personal circumstances and  the relation between people and the environment.
Constructivism involves asking oneself how the past experience play a role in current learning and FPPL adapts the same philosophy and emphasizes the importance of reflection in learning.

Story and Place coming to the classroom

For many students they may hear about some of the issues or places but not give it a lot of thought because it is far away and does not impact them. But through technologies such as Facetime, Skype, etc., it is possible for students to see new locations and to engage with people on the ground. The stories that did not seem as personal are now much closer to home.

I'd like to get my students to do research about how graphic design can influence communities and encourage positive social change and then get them to create social campaigns that could have a positive impact. We could partner with different organizations or industry partners to get those campaigns out there.

We didn't really cover the theory of connectivism, but I think FPPL links with that. It's the theory of how learning happens using connected networked resources online, and I think FPPLs emphasis on the interconnectedness of people links well with that - when you use online resources like Wikipedia, YouTube, Reddit, etc, you certainly get the sense that we are all connected.

I think a way technology can aid in this mission is through the use of eLearning. A benefit of this mode of learning is students can learn any time and at any place. This convenience draws a lot of people to this form of learning as it helps to keep a work-life balance and makes managing multiple priorities that much easier for them. Further, it offers a platform where learners can work at their own pace, as well as it can incorporate different learning styles and can be geared to suit various languages and cultures. Considering these two services inherent to eLearning (convenience and flexibility), I note great potential in their ability to aid in the implementation of FPPL. I haven’t even touched on the ability to customize eLearning. I’ll save it for another day. - Shaun

I immediately think of FPPL's ties with social constructivism. Indigenous cultures really emphasize community and a sense of place, and children start learning with everyone in the community at a very young age. So many tasks in a community is collaborative, and this collaboration occurs between people of all ages. Learning occurs with multiple perspectives, from someone young, to the elders of the community.
