Reflection

Connectivisim is that nature of abundant information of primary use of technology.  Technology has been a great help within the classroom for students to be able to learn various lessons.  Most students enjoy playing PSP, XBox, and Wee are all different types of games. These tools are very popular amongst children of all ages today and even some adults.  When developing the mind map through webspiration  it become very difficult at times.

Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired.  Principles of Connectivism: 

Learning and Knowledge rests in diversity of opinion
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources
Learning may reside in non-human appliances
Capacity to know more is critical than what is currently known
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning
Ability to see connections between field, ideas and concepts is a core skill

Those who struggle to create an adequate theory of learning must admit that the process is much like stumbling in the dark.
