Slide 20 : Honored but Invisible “One common benefit of Learning Communities is that they create communities among students. Students report that they come to know their fellow students better and are able to work with them more both in and out of class—in constrast to conventional practice in community colleges, where students typically find a new group in virtually every class they take.”
W. Norton Grubb, 1999 Honored But Invisible: An Inside Look at Teaching in Community Colleges
Slide 21 : Participants in such communities develop a first-hand awareness of the multiliteracies required to function effectively in any distributed milieu. This awareness is crucial because it affects not only how we keep abreast of our profession, but impacts what we should be teaching students (and one another) about coping in a world of information overload, where information must be accessed quickly, constantly filtered, and distilled efficiently into useful knowledge in order for us to remain competitive in any walk of life.
Vance Stevens (2006) Revisiting Multiliteracies in Collaborative Learning Environments: Impact on Teacher Professional Development
The Networked Student : The Networked Student http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwM4ieFOotA The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students.
