Connected Learning: Relevance, the 4th R
“Connected learning” seeks to look in and around the school to leverage opportunities to learn. Schools and other such learning environments need only look around the community, the world, for questions to ask, problems to solve, and streams of information to engage in.
Connected learning should balance human-centered with tech-based learning to create an environment where all five senses are active in the learning process, and where learners spend more time engaged with each other and with the world around them.
