Technology can support sustained learning in community – and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

“The 21st century mind is a collective

mind where we access what we know in

our friends’ and colleagues’ brains.

Together we can be smarter and can

address ever more challenging problems.

What we store in our heads may not be as

important as all that we can tap in our

networks. Together we are better.”Bingham, T. and Conner, M.
