Connectivism is a learning theory that focuses on the social and cultural aspects of learning with the integration of technology to obtain information. Learning can happen through the use of technology whether it is via an online discussion forum, video calls, interactive simulations. Teachers assist in facilitating the learning process, allowing learners to be  in control of their learning. Learners are given access to a variety of platforms that they can use to explore and combine the information found to achieve the learning goal given. For example students may be given an assignment to learn about fast land changes can choose a specific land change.  Students are given a list of approved sites to use to find the information such as BrainPOP Jr, Generation Genius and Epic! to find their information. Students then can create a presentation incorporating the information they found by making either a PowerPoint presentation, a recorded news report, an interactive play or their own book. 

Through this the students will be able to make their own discoveries and during this time learn about their chosen land change. As they make decisions and discuss amongst themselves they will be able to provide their different perspectives that may come from their cultural background, personal experiences or the information that they found.  Students are motivated to work together to gather information and create a final product that they will feel proud of.
