 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.http://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.

Aims:
to increase our face-to-face network
to enhance our PD community

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.

Theres no information without

participation.
