Question from Brad: “Checking my understanding. I'm hearing a lot about the macro-features of connected learning and am trying to ground it in the micro. Is it possible for connected learning to take place without fundamental transformations in power relations between youth and adults? It seems that a fundamental contradiction in Learning 1.0 is that youth are seldom acknowledged interactively as knowledge-holders. I'm trying to weave the macro and micro aspects of the connected learning concept to imagine how it can transform Learning 2.x “
