He just infuses techo-jargon to make it seem like a new idea. I agree that Siemens has important things that educators need to consider; hovever, I don’t think that a lot of his information is new.

Constructivism is based on our ability to adapt to the changing environment in order to learn new information. In connectivism, although technology is the driving force, we are assimilating this technology to continue learning. I never thought of this before, but it really makes sense.
