Connectivism (learning theory)

Connectivism is a fancy word for a way of learning that's all about connecting the things you learn with other things you already know. So, imagine you're learning about animals. You might learn about lions, tigers, and bears. But, if you already know about cats and dogs, you can connect that knowledge to what you're learning about lions and tigers.

Connectivism also says that it's important to learn how to find and use information. Think of it like a treasure hunt, where you're trying to find the best information to help you learn about something. This means that you might use the internet, books, or ask other people for help.

Finally, connectivism is all about learning from other people. You can learn from other students, teachers, or experts in the topic you're learning about. Each person has their own knowledge and experiences that they can share with you, and you can use their knowledge to help you learn new things.

So, connectivism is all about making connections, finding information, and learning from others to help you learn new things.
