Thank you for response! I agree, the more we practice the more we improve; and if it is pushing out of our comfort zone, then even better!

Thanks for sharing such deep idea. I felt very identified with it because I can see myself holding a faculty position in the future, and contrary to the general idea “that I will be teaching”, we should all try to keep an all-times learning culture as our philosophy of teaching. This will also be reflected in the future students, which are the future in general.

Thank you for sharing this idea, so interesting! I was thinking, so many millions are “present” in the digital worlds (as you showed it the headings of the post), but I wonder how many were actually “present” in their real settings? Digital networking is a power full tool, but it is also very dangerous.
You mentioned: “Networked Learning strengths other skills that students will need not only in their careers but also in their life. It forces them to think, reflect, and form their own opinion by exchanging ideas, promoting discussions, and receiving feedbacks.”… but I wonder, how many learners (elementary, middle school, undergraduate, graduate students, etc) are actually using networked learning developing skills? Maybe sometimes we use the digital era to do less reflection?

Thank you for sharing. You bring out an interesting perspective as academics. As students, researchers, or as a member of an academic community in general, we are getting used to discuss the sources of where the information comes from. However, there is a myth nowadays that facts are no longer facts. There is an interesting article that expresses our new definition of “truth”: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/americans-now-see-truth-relative-what-comes-next-jeff-degraff.

“The constructive conflict of classroom debate was replaced by safe spaces and trigger warnings, and with it went the courage to confront the mediocrity of second-rate ideas. Ironically, this has left us without the ability to rightly judge fact from fiction. Bloom predicted that there would come a day when many Americans saw the truth as relative. That day is here.” something to think about! Thank you for sharing such exciting blog!

We are in the same boat together, let’s challenge the challenging things!

Thank you for response! I agree, the more we practice the more we improve; and if it is pushing out of our confort zone, then even better!

Thank you for your comment! I think there different challenges for different fields. Bur for sure it is a miss-conception the idea that we have in certain fields where failure is not an option. I think being aware that failure is part of the learning process is fundamental to achieve at the end, better results!

I hope so too! Thank you for commenting!

I agree a lot with your view! Thank you for sharing. I think this continue practice of blogging will help us learn more about blogs, but also to be less afraid of trying other experiential learning activities.
