“In this new interactive Web world, I have become a nomadic learner; I graze on knowledge. I find what I need when I need it.”

Will Richardson 2006

“We know we can publish information, now we need to focus on how we connect to each other, how we build learning contexts” P. Mancini 2007

“Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where (the understanding of where to find knowledge needed).”“The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.” G. Siemens 2004http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm

All work and no play ?Work and play?

“As people become more fulfilled and do work that they enjoy it becomes less work and more play. In some way, we are seeing in the web the evidence of the marriage between work and play, which is really what life should be about.”

Individual Knowledge vs. Mutual Knowledge :

Collective power to bring about change

Explicit language is an excellent way of creating mutual knowledge

By putting it “out there” we are changing the state of knowledge.

The beauty of Twitter is that its value is directly proportional to how and how much it is used. (Jason Bedell)

The beauty of PD 2.0 is that its value is directly proportional to how and how much we participate.

There’s no information without participation.

To teach is to learn twice.  ~Joseph Joubert, 1842
