My last task for the CCK09-course was finalizing my concept map (PDF-format).

To be honest, I don’t like concept maps which are too big. That’s why I choose to concentrate on the topics that interested me the most in this course (or maybe: which I was ready for in my learning process).

Some words on the concept map:

• As a Ph.D. student, I read almost every day articles on learning theories. So far, connectivism has not been mentioned in any of those articles. The CCK09 course was a good starting point in widening my view on learning theories.
• Being a teacher myself, the course made me reflect on my own job. My second article, the end of the fishbowl, reflects my thoughts on this topic.
• A third focus for me was my own learning process, where I did a lot of thinking on learning in networks and the personal learning environment. I discussed my view and questions on this topics in podcast one part 1 and part 2.
• And finally, I learned a lot about (and did a lot of thinking on) the impact of technology and authority on learning and teaching.

The concept map was made with Cmap. I consider the concept map to be a snapshot in time.
