<i>On Jan. 17 George Siemens and I will launch the third offering of our online course called 'Connectivism and Connective Knowledge' -- or CCK11. We use the term '<a href="http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_05/article01.htm" style="list-style-type:none;list-style-position:initial;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-style:none;border-right-style:none;border-bottom-style:none;border-left-style:none;border-width:initial;border-color:initial;color:rgb(198, 135, 0);outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">connectivism</a>' to describe a network-based pedagogy. The course itself uses connectivist principles and is therefore an instantiation of the philosophy of teaching and learning we both espouse.</i></p>

To: <br></font><br></span><br>After a long search and great confusion over which one of many tools I would start to use and encourage others to do I started to use Faviki (because of its tie in to Wikipedia / Dbpedia) easy to export my delicious bookmarks (although it will take a few days for them to appear there)<br>
<a href="http://www.faviki.com/person/Darren" target="_blank">http://www.faviki.com/person/Darren</a><br>
<br>
Really I was looking for something where bookmarks could be rated and discussed (with a smaller groups focus rather than with the whole bookmarking tool user base) but couldn't find anything that appeared to be suitable.<br>
<br>
Today I found <a href="http://www.diigo.com/profile/dazinism" target="_blank">http://www.diigo.com/profile/dazinism</a> which looked like it would be good for the job. You can highlight text, leave stickynotes on the page, discuss the page. Looking good.<br>
<br>
To illustrate the concept with a recent pertinent Huffingtonpost article -<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-downes/connectivism-and-connecti_b_804653.html" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-downes/connectivism-and-connecti_b_804653.html</a><br>
<br>
and (if it works for you, as I guess it may not if you are not registered on Diigo?) viewed through Diigo<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2Fstephen-downes%2Fconnectivism-and-connecti_b_804653.html?tab=comment" target="_blank">http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2Fstephen-downes%2Fconnectivism-and-connecti_b_804653.html?tab=comment</a><br>
<br>
All was looking good....<br>
... and then I found<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pearltrees.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pearltrees.com/</a><br>
<br>
...now I'm confused again..... but I think I'm going to concentrate on using Diigo for now.<br>
<br>
Anyone else got any thoughts on this?<br>

To: <a href="mailto:coalition@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">coalition@googlegroups.com</a><br></font><br></span><br>Hey Darren,<br><br>this is all great stuff! <br>Thank you for remixing that nicely for us.<br><br>I recommend to all the article about connectivism (the one at Huffingtonpost).<br>
It was a wonderful read, and finally implanted this image inside me:<br>
that all interaction between people is like a giant brain learning!<br><br>As for social (and individual) bookmarks, this is also something I am clearly at my limits with<br>and would like to find a better solution.<br><br>
Diigo is great but I understand you can only watch those annotations etc.<br>if you see the same page through diigo?<br>And how does it work if you are looking in bookmarks by topic, <br>by name, or by country, etc.?<br>
<br>
pearltrees are indeed very beautiful and the way I'd like to see info<br>structured! they're not usable yet though? <br><br>Is this a general need? I think tav's new application<br>is going this way, but I am not sure it would be simple to use...<br>
<br>I'd like to keep an eye on this, along with the<br>events proposal it might evoke some useful coding<br><br>thanks<br>fabio<br><br></div><br></div></div></div></div>
