E-Learning 2.0 Slides

Parts of this presentation have reinforced knowledge i have already, particularly in relation to the first slide on the millenials, by reading one of the articles that was a link i could see that it was saying almost the same as that ' Digital natives vs. Digital immigrants' article we read a few weeks ago. That the baby boomer generation as well as the Generation X have not grown up with technology that we have grown up with, particularly computers and this demonstrates how savvy we are compared to many other generations, we cannot live without our technology and cannot imagine life without it. Also, the slide on learner centred learning, particularly the autonomy of it is not new to us as we have learnt previously that we do have choice when we work alone. The slide on connectivism can be connected to social constructivism which we looked at last week and how we tend to learn better when we have a variety of opinions on the same topic.

I think that this presentation is good in analysing the ways in which people learn and the different technology on the 'new' web. It uses terms that many people would be familiar with and uses articles to back up the dot points, allowing the user to find out more about the topic if they are particularly interested in it.

This presentation highlights the shift from individualised learning to social constructivism and learning, particularly its influence on modern society and the trends it is following.
