Hi CCK08!, f2f+online=success
I’m still working with connectivism. Right now it’s a project for my course on ITU, due 17.12.08. I’m trying to make an edudesign . Blogs for the students to make ’sustainable learning’. Very modest, no bullshit. Blogs for the students to support f2f-learning.
I ran into this post from Sharesky about the good experience with f2f, but only because students had spent hours online to collaborate and getting to know each other. Very much like the experiences from Italy, Andreas Formiconi.

Hi Jorgen! So am I.. ..still working with connectivism. But actually I don’t see that bad at all, as cck08 served us with such an amount of everything for reflection, trying in practice, reflecting further and trying again… So I think the course has been a success if we keep on becoming more connective
You asked in an earlier post about our experiences on microblogging: … if it helps managing complexity, focusing, concentration => learning. I got stuck with externalizing my learning some time in the middle of cck08 - through my blog. Therefore my two papers + the final work are still unpublished. I’m confident though - that they’ll be ready and posted one by one. Following schedules is an important skill - but in this case I think learning acc. to one’s own personal schedule is a value in itself. Just the learning process progresses..
Microblogging has become one core experience of cck08 for me. It formulated by me using a number of different social networking applications I familiarized with during the cck08. Flickr photos and Twitter / TwitWall have become for me a way of daily reflection. They also offer a possibility for sharing links, commenting etc. The flexibility suits me - to post one picture only, or write a long post… Just that I get some amount of learning published every day
That sounds so simple - like what’s special in that really?? Simple it is. But I’ve found in it a way to collect my thoughts and occasionally jump to a sideway… The certain randomness of microblogging through different channels - quite surprisingly actually - is a means and tool of organizing for me.
Let’s stay connective! Irmeli
