Blogging in the class: Practicals models with connectivist inspiration

These 4 models are also 4 steps to implement a practical of connectivist learning with blogging in the formal teaching classes.




From the forum in Moodle:

I am also very interesting in the practical application of the ideas of networks in the "formal class" and I see also in the blogs a very good tool for that. I want to show us a little schema of 4 differents uses of blogs for the courses, it is in my CCK08 blog It is made with "paint", that means not very impresive ; ) But I think that can be interesting.

In the past I use blogs like I describe in model A: An only teachers Blog for all the group, but this year I try to practice some new "connectivist ideas" and I start with model B: Each student have his/her own blog. Now I am in model C: An internal network of students and teacher Blogs and try to implement the model D: An open network of Blogs with all possibles external nodes.

Learning like an atom

My conclusion in this moment about the possible practice of informal connectivist learning in formal groups is this image:


How to bring some "Connectivism learning" in the "formal learning" at the school?
That is the question that Emanuela Zibordi and me have in the Moodle cours CCK08

The formal class has to integrate the informal autonomous learning of the students and motivates it.

(We can give it the name of "atomic learning" jajjaja...)
