Introduction to Views of Connectivism Theory.pdf

‘Traditional’theories of learning as pratical dimensions of psychology majorly tend to focus their interest on humans’ inner factors that influence the process of learning such as intelligences, motivation, interest, attitude, concentration and aptitude.They never connect it with instruments and technological inventions such as multimedia, cyber celluler, internet, evensocial organization, cultural values, traditions etc., while these are veryinfluential nowdays towards the progress and behaviors of human life."

Connectivism is one of my favorite learning theory to use in the classroom. As a  Career and Technology teacher we use technology and connectivity theory allows the students to discuss to various platforms to discuss and find answers on their own.  With this infographic it explain the different learning theories and connectivism, a theory that at least you have to try to implement for student engagement.
