    About how expertise can hinder innovation and creativity because it tends to fence in ideas and limit possibilities, especially within specific areas of expertise. So thought has to be given to stepping outside existing frameworks and how new ideas are communicated to others.

  • The researchers found that information workers whose strong e-mail networks allow them to receive new information sooner than their peers — or to receive more pieces of new information — are likely to be more productive than their less well-connected counterparts. Workers who are “information hubs” complete more projects in a given period of time and thus generate more revenue for their firm.

  • "Thinking is now distributed," he said, "across minds, tools and media, groups of people, and space and time." It is important, he shared, for people to be fluent in new technologies and literacies because more and more jobs are disappearing that require classical knowledge.
  • Web 2.0, Dede noted, is "centered around Web-based communities, where the central theme is to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing." It is an environment where knowledge is gained through bottom-up, individual methods, rather than top-down, traditional forms. "Web 2.0," he said, "is a major paradigm shift in the way people think."

      Creativity and collaboration and sharing are not an automatic results of using web tools. They require the right practices and the right institutional conditions if they are to survive and flourish.
  • In a world where learners are being shaped by the things they do outside of the classroom, he said, how do we prepare students for careers that do not exist yet and that will be driven by these very same methods of learning?

    A talk by a specialist in teacher training about the impact of Web 2.0 on education. For those already interested in change in education thanks to ICT, this may bring little new. When are people going to go beyond statements about how things are radically changing to what we are going to do about it?
