Networked learning includes any collaborative and interactive learning experience using digital means to connect and interact through networks. A learning theory that develops networked learning is connectivism. Part of the learning theory is based on the concept that the learning is out there, we , as learners, need to find it through interactions and developing networks.
Online Communities: A pan-Canadian indigenous online community has recently been created to encourage indigenous educators to network and connect online. It's called Indspire.ca
#CdnEdchat is also a recently formed twitter chat. A twitter chat is a chat in twitter connected through a common hashtag. There are facilitators that use the hashtag in tweets to ask questions using tweets in twitter at a set time. People who are interested in that topic, meet at a set time each week to answer the questions through twitter and interact with each other around a common topic. On June 24, 2013, the #CdnEdchat focus was on FNMI perspectives in education. This is a short video of what a twitter chat looks like:
