PEOPLE
So I can imagine posts like this, were they appropriately discoverable, acting as a seed crystal for a group of people (a 'social network' or 'community') who start to chat about some of this issues across a range of networks. Social learning from the bottom up. Which makes me think - the web is a pretty effective social learning platform already. But do folk see it as such? Do they respect it is as such? I read something (I forget what) yesterday that suggested something along the lines that the biggest impact of social networking and online activity etc in education would be that it amplifies the need to recognise the contribution of informal learning [that is, personal learning?;-)] So what does formal ed offer? Gameable multiguess assessment? http://cogdogblog.com/4333TAGS
