I immediately thought about learning theories when I heard the article's title. However, this 'connectivism' is more closely related to the relationship between 'knowledge' amidst technology and its impact on learning.
Knowledge is reviewed in the article with regards to objectivism, pragmatism, and interpretative. According to the article, objective knowledge is gained through experience; pragmatic knowledge is motivated by experience and thinking; and interpretive knowledge is constructed. I especially liked how these terms were defined and explained. I will use the explanation in my classes.

Cool, Pat! Ask your students to supply examples from their experience and knowledge of each type--that will help defeat any chance of plagiarism.
