New media educator Howard Rheingold interviews educator Kevin Hodgson about\u00a0connected learning and how educators\u00a0enact its principles with technology.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve met and profiled active contributors for years, but Kevin Hodgson has to be one of the most active co-learners I\u2019ve encountered. He was part of my Twitter personal learning network<\/a>, but I began to understand how much energy he puts into sharing his knowledge and imagination when we participated in Connected Courses<\/a>, “a collaborative community of faculty in higher education developing networked, open courses that embody the principles of connected learning<\/a> and the values of the open web<\/a>.” We had a plan, but part of that plan was what I call “co-learning” \u2014 we knew that the learners in this course were also educators, and we knew that they would come up with ideas that the course planners had not thought of. We knew that leaders we had not picked would emerge.<\/p>\n
