      • probably
      • seemingly re-found public appetite
        • Leon Cych
           
          depends on how people vote at tne next election I guess :)

      • intervene
        • Leon Cych
           
          What about intervention in education MIAPs Unigue Learning Number and Identity Cards
        • Leon Cych
           
          ULN introduced for 14 yr olds from this year
      • Globalisation
        • Leon Cych
           
          Perhaps could do with a bit more explanation. Is this a specifc term in this context. I'd see it as something else in learning...
      • In some organizations
        • Leon Cych
           
          What about more distributed less country centric models of employment and I don't mean call centres i.e. web 2.0 new startups that employ people globally? Like Seesmic , for instance - any figures/ evidence on those?
      • context aware
        • Leon Cych
           
          Are we talking about the Semantic web or Web 3.0 here? I'm not sure this is specific enough...
      • dispersed
        • Leon Cych
           
          Dospersed or distributed?
      • ICT was most frequently used for learning in those enterprises with flatter hierarchies and more devolved decision talking responsibilities and in which employees had greater autonomy in the organisation of their own work. Interestingly, these enterprises also tended to have a more experienced workforce and low turnover of employees
        • Leon Cych
           
          Now that is very interesting
      • either face to face in the workplace or on-line
        • Leon Cych
           
          But perhaps down the pub :)
      • he study showed learning was more likely to take place in organisations with less hierarchical structures and where workers had more responsibility for their own work.
        • Leon Cych
           
          Again really interesting
      • is becoming part of a formal employment requirement
        • Leon Cych
           
          But interestingly at a recent consultation I went to involving the TDA and the new Masters in Teaching and Learning there was no evidence of awareness of the role of use of technology to aid reflectivity...
      • his entails building organisations in which people have what can be termed ‘developmental work tasks’
        • Leon Cych
           
          Collaboration not really mentioned - does it play a part?
      • change is challenging for some trainers
        • Leon Cych
           
          :)
      • a single learning provider,
        • Leon Cych
           
          formal or informal?
      • critical role to play
        • Leon Cych
           
          What about scalability and scope?
      • other approaches already in place
        • Leon Cych
           
          unless it continues to be locked out in schools
      • accidental
        • Leon Cych
           
          serendipitous - accident sounds like they fell over it which they possibly did :)
      • video conferencing
        • Leon Cych
           
          Maybe this might be renamed after Google's introduction of video into email? More ubiquitous than ever before for those who sign up to a gmail account and have some form of webcam built in.
      • unproblematic
        • Leon Cych
           
          What about the phenomenon of teachers working together informally to use these devices whilst teaching amongst each other globally - any reserch been done on that?
      • stimulating and rewarding
        • Leon Cych
           
          Providing there is a flat enough environment for this to happen...perhaps
      • learning to the state
        • Leon Cych
           
          But what about the trend where there is a cultural conflict by distance - and workers have to be schooled in cultural norms of the country they are servicing to get it right otherwise consumers in host countries reject this.
      • by an
      • system,
      • ambiguous and often hostile
        • Leon Cych
           
          Might be worth exploring this more - why - what are the causes of the hostility or is it merely dependency on outmoded systems rather than hostility - a reluctance to engage with cultural change due to being institutionalised - dunno...
      • oung people
      • Facebook
      • the privatization of education has seemed possible
        • Leon Cych
           
          ???
      • The idea of integrating personal learning and working environments
        • Leon Cych
           
          What research, if any, has ben done into the way individuals organise themselves in a more distributed environment - the individual "nodes" and how some "nodes" are more active than others ...
      • nteract with peer groups and communities of practice through the internet
        • Leon Cych
           
          OK answers some of my last question
      • learning spaces
        • Leon Cych
           
          and learner groupings perhaps?
      • costumer
      • reality of experience.
        • Leon Cych
           
          What about global peer to peer aspect?
      • It also implies a new culture of active and autonomous collective learning to be encouraged, valued and recognized in and outside the workplace
        • Leon Cych
           
          So what defines and binds these new communities?
      • Possible Futures
        • Leon Cych
           
          Would love to see this represented as an interactive diagram or walkthrough.
      • continue this list almost endlessly
        • Leon Cych
           
          How about a possibilites perm fruit machine :)
      • employees
        • Leon Cych
           
          Were any of these workplaces academic?
      • annotae
      • Annotate this paper.

          Graham no mention in this of APIs - mashups and ther reconfiguring of information for personalisation? Just a thought. Leon

        I have annotated this quite heavily as very interesting.

      What to learn: 'core knowledge' or '21st-century skills'? - USATODAY.com - 0 views

      • Partnership for 21st Century Skills, or P21
      • since the P21 push began seven years ago, they're pushing back.
      • "It's an ineffectual use of school time,"
      • ...5 more annotations...
      • He calls the P21 movement "a fragmented approach with uncertain cognitive goals"
      • Core Knowledge holds that an explicit, grade-by-grade "core of common learning" is necessary for a good education.
      • all of the industrialized countries the USA is competing with "are pursuing both content and skills."
      • Do kids learn to think by reading great literature, doing difficult math and learning history, philosophy and science? Or can they tackle those subjects on their own if schools simply teach them to problem-solve, communicate, use technology and think creatively?
      • While kids may enjoy working together on projects, for instance, the amount of knowledge they get often ends up being shallow.

        Monica Hesse has a fun story in today's Washington Post that examines a trend in cultural disturbia - that of the Blackberry-interrupted conversation. Hasn't this happened to you too many times to count?

        I love to learn new stuff as an adult, most likely due to a misspent youth. As an undergraduate college student, I knew where the pool tables were located. Let's just leave it at that.
