摘要:This paper analyses the experience of pre-service teachers enrolled in a course at a Brazilianuniversity that was guided by three Cyberculture Laws formulated by Lemos (2004) – which entail"transmitting connecting and reconfigurating" information and practices – and by Connectivism'sconcept of "relevance" (Siemens, 2004). They interacted with a high school class as theycollaborated to develop networked learning materials based on quality resources gathered on theinternet on a topic of the students' choice. Pre-service teachers worked in teams and searched,selected and customized online resources and developed related technology-based learningmaterials and activities. These materials were made available on a online web interface.Instructor facilitation was a key element of the process as it helped pre-service teachers developa better understanding about cyberculture as they applied it to teaching and learning guided alsoby the interests and feedback provided by school students. This experience indicated theimportance of instructor's explicit guidance to help pre-service teachers incorporate cyberculturelaws in their teaching in meaningful ways, i.e. how to engage in dialogue with their students, howto select quality learning resources from the internet and how to transform them to developlearning materials that are appealing to the students.
