Connectivism : Networked StudentQT (online video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7oFzmr9_M4
Connectivism : Networked StudentQT
Online Video
The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008.
It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher.
I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.

The Twenty-First-Century Digital Learner
http://www.edutopia.org/ikid-digital-learner-technology-2008
Young Minds, Fast Times: The Twenty-First-Century Digital Learner
How tech-obsessed iKids would improve our schools.
It is a measure of the malaise of our educational system that these old folk -- smart and experienced as they may be -- think they can, by themselves and without the input of the people they're trying to teach, design the future of education.
One of the strangest things in this age of young people's empowerment is how little input our students have into their own education and its future.

Brain Rules
http://www.brainrules.net/
The brain is an amazing thing. Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know.
How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge?
Brain Rules is about what we know for sure, and what we might do about it.

Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking
http://www.kcmetro.cc.mo.us/longview/ctac/blooms.htm
Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking
Bloom's Taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains. One of these is the cognitive domain which emphasizes intellectual outcomes. This domain is further divided into categories or levels. The key words used and the type of questions asked may aid in the establishment and encouragement of critical thinking, especially in the higher levels.

The Learning Styles tests on this site are intended to help you come to a better understanding of yourself as a learner by highlighting the ways you prefer to learn or process information.
It is hoped that by doing so you be able to develop strategies which will enhance your learning potential.
The two tests I have compiled have no time limits. Just try to answer each question as honestly as you can.
In addition to the tests, I have also included information about Learning Styles and the 3 main perceptual modalities. There is information for the learner and for teachers. Just check the menu bar on the left of your screen.
