Week 5 – Notes

Kveldens Elluminate session med CCK08 generte disse stikkord:

Gruppe kjennetegnes av likhet:

• lik visjon
• like verktøy
• lik organisasjon
• groups collaborate – samarbeider

Nettverk kjennetegnes av ulikheter:

• ulike visjoner (individorienterte)
• ulike verktøy
• ulike organisasjoner
• groups cooperate – samvirker

Assignments:

1. Continue regular weekly activities – blogging, developing your concept map, and follow the distributed conversation through various sites (pageflakes, delicious, Google Alerts). In your blog posts, consider the question: Have you begun to see the rudiments of a learning network forming? Has some of the conceptual uncertainty settled?

2. If you have not done so, set up an account with Google Reader and subscribe to a few of the blogs from fellow participants that you’ve found to be insightful or valuable in your learning.
