Technology has provided networks of people and information that haven't previously existed. Learning is the further connection of these networks. Connectivism works best when people are able to collaborate through whatever means available (non-technological or utilizing technology).

Theories are considered more comprehensive, whereas pedagogical tools are just things we use in the classroom. ]]> 2022-09-19 21:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/adrienne_moore123/fzljv4wd987euh1r/wish/2303734855 How to implement in classroom adrienne_moore123 https://padlet.com/adrienne_moore123/fzljv4wd987euh1r/wish/2303744834 1) Replace graphic organizers with digital mind map
