The Theory of Connectivism and Its Relevance To Students

Connectivism is relevant because it is a Learning Theory for the Digital Age.

George Siemans (2004) believes that our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today. I think what he means here that it is more important for us to know that we are lacking knowledge , and how to get that knowledge by using the relevant sources available. You are not always going to know everything, but you must know how to access it and accept advances in technology and knowledge as they become available and keep up to date with it all.
