CCK09 Professional Networks

Here is the survey report on Professional Networks.

CCK09 Netagogy

Netagogy is the study of netwok and internet-based learning.

The notion is an expansion and interpretation of Connectivism, heutagogy and andragogy.  It is the process of engaging learners with the structure of learning experience in personal, social, international networks, and internet.

Netagogy places emphasis on learning how to learn, with multiple loop learning, personal, social, global and nebulous learning opportunities, a multi-purpose and non-linear complex and emergent process.  A multi-learner interaction coupled with self-directed Netagogy requires that educational and learning initiatives include the innovative and improvement practice of network and internet-based learning and technological skills, as well as learning experience on the multi-faceted perspectives and interpretations on various subject domains in the networks and internet.  These could include Connectivism, Networked Learning, Social Media Learning, PLE/N, Virtual Learning Environment, LMS, Web 2.0, Information and Communication Technology, Mobile Learning and Digital/Online Learning.

This Netagogy helps to develop the capability and capacity of both individuals and networks in personal and social learning with affordances: communicating, engaging, interacting, cooperating and collaborating with others, leading changes necessary for transformational learning under a network and internet based learning ecology.

Further refinements are required on this Netagogy, as these are just my first thoughts.

CCK09 The meaning of WISC

There were 4 persons entering a quest for WISDOM.  Their names were WISE, INTELLIGENT, STUPID and CLEVER.

There were 2 parts of the quest, questioning and problem solving.

Questioning

The first quest involved answering 3 questions, and the competitors were expected to provide an INTELLIGENT answer.  The one who could provide the “MOST INTELLIGENT” answer would win the contest.

Q1. If you were Adam, and Eve gave you an apple and asked you to eat in the EDEN, what would you do?  Would you eat the apple? Why?

WISE: I would not eat the apple. Because eating the apple would lead me to stay away from God. I would sin against God.

INTELLIGENT: I would consult Eve first, then I would eat the apple.  I could become more intelligent by eating the apple.

STUPID: I would eat the apple. I am hungry.

CLEVER: I would not eat the apple, because everyone knows from the Bible that we inherited our mortal sin since eating the apple.

Q2. If you were Adam, and the devil asked you to eat Eve instead of the apple, what would you do?  Would you eat Eve?

WISE: I would not eat Eve.  Because Eve is my wife.  I would rather die than eating her.  It is also an offense to God, not obeying God’s commandment:  Thou Shalt not Kill.

INTELLIGENT: I would consult Eve, my wife first, then I would eat the devil, instead of my wife.

STUPID: I don’t know.  How could I eat Eve, my wife?

CLEVER: This is a tricky question. I would not eat Eve, my wife.  But if you asked me to do so, I would cheat and say may be I would consider, but I would ask the devil: What benefits would I have if I eat her?

Q3. If you were Eve, and the devil asked you to give Adam the apple to eat or offer him your body so you could bear his child, what would you do?

WISE: I would offer him my body instead of giving Adam, my husband the apple.  Because I love him.

INTELLIGENT: I would give Adam, my husband the apple.  Because he won’t survive without food

STUPID: I would offer him my body instead of giving Adam, my husband the apple.  Because I want to eat the apple.

CLEVER: I would give Adam, my husband the apple.  Because he would become more clever.  Then I would give him my body, to bear his child.

After these 3 rounds of questions, who has won the contest in the questions part?  What are your reasons?

I will collect the answers from our readers (if any) and share with you who has won the contest. The WISE, INTELLIGENT, STUPID OR CLEVER.

I will post the “problem solving” quest in a later post.  More to come.

You would surely wonder what WISC mean.   

It means: W_ _ _ _ _, I_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, S _ _ _ _ _, C _ _ _ _ _ . Right.
