content....
it's about connections...
the web affords connections we've not been afforded before.
connections afford:
1) access to all
2) personalization (topic, method, time)
3) learn from multiple voices
paraphrased from this keen insight:
1. As a form of open learning, it provides access to everyone
2. It allows learners to set their own priorities and styles of learning
3. It enables learners to be informed by many voices, thus creating a more complete and balanced picture
-- Stephen Downes
content doubles every 3 days last i heard... we are limiting kids' potential if we think it's about content.
content begs memorization.
connections beg conversation. which beg community. which beg personalization.
