Not Connecting with Connectivism

I guess it was wishful thinking to think that I'd actually have time to dive into the Connectivism class without having to do all the work at home. I haven't had time there either, so now I'm over two weeks behind on the "work" part of the class, although I've been keeping up fairly regularly with the discussions on the Moodle forum and on Twitter. I just haven't been contributing or keeping up with any of the readings, live webinars, etc. There is a tremendous amount of information flowing through the course, but so far it all seems very disjointed to me, so I'm just not sure where to jump in and how to organize everything for myself. I suppose that's one of the lessons I'm supposed to learn.

To make matters worse, something new has come up, and I'm like a kid in a candy store - show me something more colorful, sweeter, and a little fresher and I'll change directions in a heartbeat.Here's a link to what I'm talking about, and since it seems more organized and on topic, I'll probably mostly abandon the Connectivism course and focus on this one for 6 weeks:

Is there such a thing as adult ADD???

Don't answer that.
