Connected learning

It's nice to see people recognize the importance of connected reading, but this post recasts it as some sort of constructivism and feels like it should have been written in the 2000s. I don't want to be critical, because Steve Wheeler is normally on target, but as preparation for a talk in 2019 this outline is solely lacking. The first sentence of the last paragraph has by itself been the subject of a wealth of study over the last decade: "Learners with digital technology can discover for themselves, and drive their own learning, but it will be less structured than formal educational processes." Connected learning isn't constructivism. It's blogging and commenting, social networking, MOOCs, communities of practice, and so much more.
