Abstract	This paper will examine the eight principles of Connectivism Learning Theory and provide examples of how institutions of learning--K-12 and higher education--may think about applying them. Engaging in such work will allow institutions to take advantage of technological platforms as they exist today and into the future. While the Internet has brought with it the opportunity for a connected, collaborative learning landscape, many classrooms and academic institutions today do not take full advantage of the value this connectedness can have for their learners. Using the eight principles as a frame, this paper will offer concrete techniques for K-12 and higher education institutions to engage their learners in the collaborative learning environment of today's technologically connected landscape.
