    LOS ANGELES - All through high school, Ani Schug was told to steer clear of Wikipedia. Her teachers talked about the popular online encyclopedia "as if it wasn't serious or trustworthy" and suggested it only be used as a tip sheet.

  • Each RT amplifies the message.
  • Learning is a multi-faceted process, involving cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions. Knowledge is similarly multi-faceted, involving declarative, procedural, and academic dimensions.

      I appreciate this statement when it terms learning as more than just a cognitive process.  I think that the process of learning is usually thought to be cognitive, involving the brain.  But learning is also social and emotional which allows the learner to make more connections to the content.    
  • Apprenticeship learning models are among the most effective in attending to the full breadth of learning. Apprenticeship is concerned with more than cognition and knowledge (to know about) – it also addresses the process of becoming a carpenter, plumber, or physician.

      Apprenticeship models can be seen utilized in trade schools.  As a result of this learning by doing method the students have a better grasp on the material than a student in a traditioanl classroom setting.

  • The “half-life of knowledge” is the time span from when knowledge is gained to when it becomes obsolete

      I was able to put this into the context of personal entertainment devices.  VCRs are a thing of the past, walkmans, boomboxes, and cd-players too.  Show a child a floppy disk and they won't know what it is or how to use it.  All of these items have no value in our society.   
  • (the “black box theory”).

      I like the imagery that is created from 'the black box theory.'  People are essentially a black box of knowledge, until the box is opened and that knowledge is transferred to another.  Media often reports on the FCC needing to locate the black box in order to find out cause of airplane accidents from the data that was collected.        
  • Learning theories are concerned with the actual process of learning, not with the value of what is being learned.

      I have always been intrigued with the process of learning for myself and others.  Why are some people able to instantly grasp concepts and others have to struggle with the material.  A person with dyslexia will need to be taught how to learn in a manner different than a person without reading disorders.  The brain is magical thing isn't it?

  • it has also become “spikier”: the places that are globally competitive are those that have robust local ecosystems of resources supporting innovation and productiveness.2

      "Spikier" produces a great image, but would be curious to know which countries or major cities have the greatest spikes then and now.    
  • Typically, 20 percent of titles generate 80 percent of all sales, which means that most revenue comes from the “fat” part of the tail and that most of the costs of operation come from maintaining the inventory in the “long” part of the tail.

      I found this to be an interesting analogy.  Currently, my library is purchasing more of the bestselling titles, and fewer of the educationally interesting titles because patron demand is driving it.    
  • Demand-pull learning shifts the focus to enabling participation in flows of action, where the focus is both on “learning to be” through enculturation into a practice as well as on collateral learning.

  • We're just at the bottom of the S-curve of this innovation, a curve that will have about the same shape but a greater slope than the one pertaining to electrification. And as this S-curve takes off, it creates a unique period for entrepreneurs! It is entrepreneurs, be they academic, educational or corporate entrepreneurs, that will shape and drive this relatively chaotic phenomenon especially as it relates to learning. Entrepreneurs are great at challenging the status quo. Their power lies in their willingness to see differently, unearth and challenge background assumptions and then act on their beliefs, often overturning an assumption that others felt were unassailable. Our challenge and opportunity, here, is to foster the entrepreneurial spirit toward creating new kinds of learning environments, ones that leverage how we naturally learn coupled to or enhanced by the unique capabilities of the Web.

      It'd be interesting to find out where this author believes us to be on the S-curve now.  This statement made me realize that most discoveries are made by visionaries that want to push the envelope and have successfully done so, such as Steve Jobs & Apple or Mark Zuckerberg & Facebook.  For better or worse they have revolutionized our society.     
  • learning becomes a part of action and knowledge creation.

      I have found that I learn and retain new ideas if I can read about it and then have the ability to interract with it in some fashion. 
  • Enculturation lies at the heart of learning.

      Again stating that becoming embedded in a community adds to learning.

  • These study groups were socially constructing their own understanding of the material.

      Certainly a vote for more group discussions within learning environments, distance learners or not.     
  • One of the things that makes an ecology so powerful and adaptable to new contexts is its diversity
    • kmlambert

      My understanding of this is that if everyone in a group has the same viewpoint, nothing new may develop.  But if you have learners from various backgrounds, and life experiences then innovation can begin.  Learner A will propose one solution and Learner B may submit another. Through discussion and evaluation, a final solution will be developed.    
  • Judgment, navigation, discrimination and synthesis are more critical than ever; again, congruent to our hypothesis about digital kids.
  • Basically, each of us is part consumer and part producer. We read and we write, we absorb and we critique, we listen and we tell stories, we help and we seek help. This is life on the Web. The boundaries between consuming and producing are fluid—the secret to many of the business models of Web-based commerce.

      This is a nice concise statement.  I especially love how it states that boundaries are fluid between being a consumer and being a producer.
