      Our concept of knowledge had definitely changed in this digital age of Google.
  • Many of the processes previously handled by learning theories (especially in cognitive information processing) can now be off-loaded to, or supported by, technology.

      This is one of the most important skills we can give our students in the digital age.  An intelligent person may not know the information but they know where to find the information.
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences
  • Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge. ‘I store my knowledge in my friends’ is an axiom for collecting knowledge through collecting people (undated).”
