    Good article that emphasizes the need to be savvy, deliberate readers and writers online, w/r/t privacy and blogging.

      The difference between "control" and "influence" is sharply stated. It has an appealing elevator pitch conciseness.
  • Criticism was directed at our curatorial activities with concerns voiced that we were only selecting resources that supported our views. This wasn’t the case. We drew attention to both supportive and critical views. However, The Daily was not the only source of information for learners in the course. In the Daily, we aggregated blog posts and twitter posts as well. More on that when we consider aggregation.
  • Modelling has its roots in apprenticeship.

      Which is why internships, a form of apprenticeship, are increasing popular, especially at the University of Maryland where internships are a component of the common education curriculum.

  • Classrooms which emulate the “fuzziness” of this learning will be more effective in preparing learners for life-long learning.

      In a way, when a Constructivist classroom "[emulates] the 'fuzziness'" of learning, it follows the research in support of cognitive learning: method of input should mirror method of output, which I think works very well when studying for an exam.
  • The ability to recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made yesterday is also critical.

      This is hugely important, especially in the realm of policy. People with agency--in whatever field-- are better served by understanding that changing decisions based on new information is not indecisiveness, but flexibility and awareness.    
  • The management and marshalling of resources to achieve desired outcomes is a significant challenge. Realizing that complete knowledge cannot exist in the mind of one person requires a different approach to creating an overview of the situation.

      This seems to be a significant aspect of the Connectivist learning theory. And it feels like an evolution of the social-constructive model: instead of social influences, Connectivism emphasizes organizational influences, like businesses and schools.

  • What I want to do this morning is to provide some evocative comments rather than give a coherent, logically argued talk. That is, these comments are meant to be idea sparkers that will, hopefully, evoke additional ideas for yourself concerning how the world might be changing and how we might actually recast or reframe some of the classical problems of education and distance learning in quite new terms.

      As someone who teaches rhetoric, I love this acknowledgement of genre and purpose. Probably easier to pull off in a speech when you are someone of his experience.
  • f you see a Web site that's more than six months old, it screams out at you—something is wrong.

      I notice this "off-kilter" quality with operating systems--especially when I toggle between my older iPod touch and my relatively newer iPhone. Must be a golden age for these types of graphic designers.

      Not common to hear this term now, especially in a non-ironic context.

  • Knowledge has two dimensions, the explicit and the tacit. The explicit dimension deals with concepts, the know-whats, whereas the tacit dimension deals with know-how.

      This differentiation looks familiar. The image was also in the Brown piece.  
  • even what constitutes a solution in the first place?

      The skeptic Evgeny Morozov would completely agree with this sentiment. Morozov is cautious of those who look for a solution outside of any real problem.
  • as I mentioned earlier, lurk on the periphery and hear what was going on and in so doing could be a virtual cognitive apprentice. He could also move from the periphery to the center when he had something to contribute, very much like today's digital kids are doing on the Web.

      This is inline with why companies have started forums for support, which is a form of tech support I sometimes prefer.

  • participatory medium that is ideal for supporting multiple modes of learning

      I think this is key. Web 2.0 can allow for visual learners to succeed, sure, but the participatory part probably helps many students.

      I like the use of infographs/cartoons here. A "practice-what-you-teach" kind of moment.
  • Becoming a trusted contributor to Wikipedia involves a process of legitimate peripheral participation that is similar to the process in open source software communities. Any reader can modify the text of an entry or contribute new entries. But only more experienced and more trusted individuals are invited to become “administrators” who have access to higher-level editing tools.

      One of the better descriptions of how the Wikipedia contributor process works. Although, I wonder how much it has changed.

  • This experiment suggests one way that the social life of Internet-based virtual education can coexist with and extend traditional education.

      This model seems more tenable than other MOOCs, especially one's that require proctors.
  • Students can send to Illinois any insects (or other small creatures) that they have captured, then log on with their computers to control the microscope in real time and view their specimens (

      Since I come from the Humanities, it is interesting to see how the sciences can use the interactive element of the internet.
  • The demand-pull approach is based on providing students with access to rich (sometimes virtual) learning communities built around a practice. It is passion-based learning, motivated by the student either wanting to become a member of a particular community of practice or just wanting to learn about, make, or perform something.
  • earning might appear to be extremely resource-intensive

      Certainly a smart observation by Brown, but it is probably more complicated than he makes it out to be. There are various levels of paywalls for certain Web 2.0 tools.
