Intentional learning is the process whereby an individual aims to learn something and goes about achieving that objective.

Accidental learning happens when in everyday activities an individual learns something that he or she had not intended or expected.

Non-formal learning. I define it is any organized educational activity outside the established formal system whether operating separately or as an important feature of some broader activity intended to serve identifiable learning objectives.

In my experience and from the work we have done with organizations, there are far more opportunities for informal accidental learning than any other single type of learning.

List all of the informal programs going on in your organization. Post that for others to add to and work with. Ask for employees to share informally gathered knowledge with peers in a formal way. Support informal communities of practice. Create others where you there are gaps. Look at what your meetings really offer. Find more opportunities for accidental learning and make it a topic of conversation.

Tämän päivän työelämässä tarvitaan taitoja, joilla pärjätään. Tähän ei riitä pelkästään oman ammattialan osaaminen vaan tarvitaan myöskin muunlaista osaamista. Tällaista on esimerkiksi sosiaalisen median hyödyntäminen.

Toimin toisen asteen ammatillisena opettajana tieto- ja viestintätekniikan perustutkinnossa (datanomi). Uuden opetussuunnitelman myötä tuli myöskin vaatimus sosiaalisen median osaamisesta ja opettamisesta.

perustutkinnon suorittanut kykenee seuraamaan jatkuvasti muuttuvan alan kehitysvirtauksia ja kehittymään työssään niiden mukaisesti sekä osallistumaan työyhteisön kehittämiseen

today's approach to education will be seen by many if not most educators as a barbaric remnant of the past.

Children educate themselves; we don't have to do it for them.

As the student voters outnumber the staff by a factor of 20 to 1, the staff who survive this process and are re-elected year after year are those who are admired by the students.

Students are free, all day, every day, to do what they wish at the school

The school gives no tests

There is no curriculum and no attempt to motivate students to learn

The staff members at the school do not consider themselves to be teachers. They are, instead, adult members of the community who provide a wide variety of services, including some teaching. Most of their "teaching" is of the same variety as can be found in any human setting; it involves answering sincere questions and presenting ideas in the context of real conversations.
