Connectivism through Social Networking_Classroom 2.0

Alan Levine- New Media Consortium

Classroom 2.0

           Using social networking, for example, Alan Levine referred to his personal experience that he could put out his ignorance and people who connected with him through social networking group can help or give him an advice for the problem. It takes some time to build up the network, but we can learn more than we expected and share our ideas with them through Facebook, Tweeter, Email, blogs. It is really important for us (teachers) to be able to stay connected to other teachers or learners than are smarter or experienced than us because we cannot know everything. For example, starting to learn new technology applied out classroom (or future classroom) can be intimidated first to know about them as a novice, but it can be very exciting as we learn and discover with help and advice for social networking group members.

             I would like to introduce Classroom 2.0 for social networking cummunity. This is social network for those interested in Web 2.0, Social Media, and useful Technologies in the classroom. It is also a free, community-supported network. Even beginner, anyone can use this community network because many experienced and supportive group members help them navigate and find the information through digital dialog. Participating in the discussions in Classroom 2.0, teachers and learners get useful information about their teaching and learning activities through Forum. In addition, teachers and learners can watch keynote recording videos in Recordings (button located in the upper side option bar).
