      This chart should look more like a web, showing the connections between the various areas. It is similar to getting an education, you can not get a complete education in one area, without dabbling in other areas. For example, the connections between theology, and religious history.

      Sometimes before you can understand something you have to quantify it. These early natural philosophers were just organizing what they had learned so they could better understand it. How different is it from us today, trying to map the human genome?

    An interesting article I found in the paper this morning about what is being done by these institutions to increase the use of technology in post secondary education. All content will be free.

    Carr's contrarian ideas are discussed here. He obviously overstates concerns but the points are each worth debating.

    Here is a link to that Trillions video about the future of computing.  Its really interesting to think of not only the amount of digital interfaces, but the new ways in which they will interact with us.

    Summary : Michael Feldstein's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, he writes about how open source projects work from an economic perspective. Drawing on the work of Nobel Prize-winning economist Ronald Coase and Harvard economics professor Yochai Benkler, he will provide some perspective on how open source projects manage to defy conventional wisdom about economics and self-interested behavior, and gives some questions that universities can ask when considering whether a particular open source software project is likely to be successful.

    This is a fantastic video!  This guy put computers in India and they just taught themselves how to use them, even to the extent of learning English!  One group of kids learned how to record their own music after only four hours with a computer!  fabulous

  • principle of accountability also applies to the spiritual resources conferred in the teachings we have been given and to the precious hours and days allotted to each of us during our time in mortality.
  • The significance of our increased discretionary time has been magnified many times by modern data-retrieval technology. For good or for evil, devices like the Internet and the compact disc have put at our fingertips an incredible inventory of information, insights, and images. Along with fast food, we have fast communications and fast facts. The effect of these resources on some of us seems to fulfill the prophet Daniel’s prophecy that in the last days “knowledge shall be increased” and “many shall run to and fro”
  • homely story
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • “Do you think we need a bigger truck?”
  • our biggest need is a clearer focus on how we should value and use what we already have.
  • But to what purpose?
  • “knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word,” in which “wisdom” is “lost in knowledge” and “knowledge” is “lost in information”
  • We have thousands of times more available information than Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. Yet which of us would think ourselves a thousand times more educated or more serviceable to our fellowmen than they?
  • I could never complete my assigned task within the available time unless I focused my research in the beginning and stopped that research soon enough to have time to analyze my findings and compose my conclusions.
  • we must begin with focus or we are likely to become like those in the well-known prophecy about people in the last days—“ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7).
  • But a bale of handouts can detract from our attempt to teach gospel principles with clarity and testimony.
  • Stacks of supplementary material can impoverish rather than enrich, because they can blur students’ focus on the assigned principles and draw them away from prayerfully seeking to apply those principles in their own lives.
  • Each of us should be careful that the current flood of information does not occupy our time so completely that we cannot focus on and hear and heed the still, small voice that is available to guide each of us with our own challenges today.
  • Our priorities determine what we seek in life.
  • “a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth”
  • Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time.
  • Good choices are especially important in our family life. For example, how do family members spend their free time together? Time together is necessary but not sufficient.
  • I believe many of us are overnourished on entertainment junk food and undernourished on the bread of life.

    Available information wisely used is far more valuable than multiplied information allowed to lie fallow.
