Constructivism, Connectivism, and Cyborgism.

I found this weeks videos to be very enlightening. The videos were about Constructivism, Connectivism, and Cyborgism. Constructivism builds on prior knowledge. In other words, people learn best based on prior expereinces. Connectivism, it the belief that people learn better through networks. For example, people should be constantly connected to information. In this theory, the learner should have constant access to updated material. The supporters of this theory beleives that in a world of constantly changing information, the learner must be able to connect to updated sources of information. While I do agree with this in theory, I don't beleive that this model is the most efficient. Finally, Cyborgism. I think this is an extreme concept. I beleive that we are years away from perfecting this sort of technology. I am not sure I would want to use or depend on this sort of technology, because it seems unpredictable. Each of these theories are very thougt provoking, but I believe Constructivism, is the most relevant.
