For a while now I have been following the Twitter and Blog posts of a lady called Sarah Stewart, a midwife and Senior Lecturer in Midwifery at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand (although she is British originally).

Midwifery and Judo are similar from what I perceive, technology has not really pierced the way it is taught yet. But it is starting to.

Sarah's Blog is a good read and I recommend it even though it has no Judo content. ;-)

In a recent post, she talked about connectivism and the networked student. I like what she had to say, hence this post.

In the post she shows this video

Which if you can't see it is here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XwM4ieFOotA

If you are a Judo coach, you should really go read the post over at http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2008/ ... dents.html

It is well written and very interesting, just replace the word student with Judoka and you'll do fine! :-)

I also recommend taking a look at this post ( http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2008/ ... ation.html ) which covers an evaluation of the online course she has been teaching, really interesting stuff.
