Hi Mike
I really agree with your post. Around week 7 I had to make up my mind about what was more important for me. I had been interested in Conectivism before the course started and I’m still interested. But I needed more time. I got interested in Complex systems and I decided to do more research on that and see how I can apply that theory to my experiences with communities. Also, I found the pace of the course was hard to follow because I’m a fulltime teacher at my university…. October and November are hectic with marking and closing the term.
For me this is also a journey and I will continue my exploration. Thanks to George and Stephen who gave us the opportunity of having all materials audios, videos and discussions available for further analysis.
See you
Sonia

Great!

I thought it was a trampoline. I am looking forward to building our links.

What a great dad.

Hi Mike,
Like you
“I want to wholly engage in the course, do all the “required” readings, complete the Concept Map, read all the blog posts, reply to all the Tweets, be in all the disparate communities that have popped up over the course of the session, and participate in the forums -”
but a little too late, I realised that it is not possible. I’m a bit exhausted and need to digest all the impressions and all the learning, and get the neurons and and connections growing. And I hope it will be possible to return to/stay in the network and continue the learning process.
Your post is well written and nice and easy to understand for a ‘foreigner’

Hi Ed,

I think the big question will be how many people continue to actively participate on the web in any form. I for one will always be around – via this blog and Twitter primarily. I’m hopeful communities will emerge out of the student cohort but that remains to be seen I think – cross your fingers.

For the bloggers I’d like to think there’s a pretty good chance of continuity since they could continue to use the same spaces (and the rest of us would know where to find them – but for the people who relied on the Moodle forum things are a bit trickier. I think locating another forum site would make sense, but they’d have to agree on one of course

Children call, gotta run! Talk to you later.

Hi Mike!

To have a post ready in ten minutes is out of my reach! LOL I tend to spend hours, maybe with practice I may shorten the time.

Another thing that happens to me is that I feel it’s impolite to skim while reading posts, I will have to change that idea because it leaves me reading less. I follow the links and come back to reply. It takes me so long to write one post that I imagine others take a lot of time and effort to post too, what I feel compelled to do is to pay tribute to that effort by following the links they carefully placed.

I also hope to maintain the connections made during the course, as newbie and non savvy I see that I cannot contribute much so what I expect is to learn and not make other people waste their time.

See you around. Maru :X

Nice post. I, too, am looking for ways to sustain the relationships/networks that have grown out of CCK08, so that the conversation may go through many more iterations. Twitter, blogs, the LinkedIn CCK08 group… any other ideas?

Mike

I am fascinated by the iterative possibilities of writing. I do return to posts to edit and add. The narrative in my posts remains the same I think, the detail changes.

Like you I do hope CCK08 is part of a longer term set of links and friendships. A collegiality of a shared community.
