TalkTech -‐ Connec9vism
Learning and knowledge rest in diversity of
opinions.
Learning is a process of connec9ng specialized nodes or informa9on
sources.
Capacity to know more is more cri9cal than what is
currently known
Decision-‐making is itself a learning process.
Choosing what to learn and the meaning of
incoming informa9on is seen through the lens of
a shiVing reality.
