Wanted to highlight this from Rebecca to make a point about broadening concepts of NGL. It's about making connections with technologies and without. Often this is interpreted as people creating information for others, or consuming information created by others. Wearable technologies - especially of the type talked about by Rebecca - provide connections to information in a way previously much more difficult. But they can also be used to scaffold learning. e.g. the "learning to run 5Km" app that Rebecca talks about in her previous post. Suggesting a possible way to break out of the LMS and social media into a very different type of network learning.

A journal article that seeks to rebut a certain view of distributed cognition. Distributed cognition is a view of cognition often connected in various ways with networked learning. It expands cognition beyond the human mind into the connections it makes with elements of the socio-cultural context in which it is located. This is perhaps a bit beyond what you might consider in your work, but it is related and the issues/arguments discussed here may be useful
