INtersting discussion here of the democratic implications of the personal learning network - how we can cirucumvent the danger of isolation in our learning networks

Just in response to Larry's presentation some weeks ago, this is the full text of the speech he was talking about. The whole speech, which Wallace gave to a graduating class at Kenyon College in 2005, is about engagement, and reconsidering how we engage with the world. I think Larry's use of the This Is Water anecdote is really interesting in relation to the changing role of technology. I did my PhD thesis on Wallace's work, and he had a really interesting relationship with technology and engagement. Just thought I'd post the speech for people's reference - more inspiration/aspiration than practical application, perhaps!
