      Balance. But will future generations value hard-copy they way we, who have been brought up with it?

      depending of the project, you always give some thought about what form it is going to take. The format, type of media, way to write is only wider

      Sometimes I don't want to be "social" when I am reading. I love the idea, but it's not the only way.

    • tasha cowdy

      yes, this is a conversation we have been having -is writing necessarily to do with letters, words? Do we need a new word?

      Writing isn't a solitary act and reading is a social event. Books will be interactive and multimedia. Teachers will have to help students do this.
  • “Not just when you’re looking at the book, but also when you’re talking to people about the book or when you’re Googling things that occur to you as you read the book.”

    The written word is coming to life by being a key part of multimedia," Boardman said. "When people can not only pick up something by the written word, but also listen to it, see it move across the screen or see someone's interpretation of that word through moving images, then I think it becomes much more alive.

    "The age of the know-it-all author who went into her room for three months and figured something out that no one figured out, and had a whole idea that was hers alone - it's over."

    It is not only the act of writing that is changing. It's reading,

      The internet provides an excellent opportunity to educate more people in more more subjects for less. It also enables to change the way that we teach and learn with a focus on collaboration and social learning. 
  • If access to higher education is a necessary element in expanding economic prosperity and improving the quality of life, then we need to address the problem of the growing global demand for education, as identified by Sir John Daniel.3
  • Fortunately, various initiatives launched over the past few years have created a series of building blocks that could provide the means for transforming the ways in which we provide education and support learning. Much of this activity has been enabled and inspired by the growth and evolution of the Internet, which has created a global “platform” that has vastly expanded access to all sorts of resources, including formal and informal educational materials. The Internet has also fostered a new culture of sharing, one in which content is freely contributed and distributed with few restrictions or costs.
  • Perhaps the simplest way to explain this concept is to note that social learning is based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we are learning but on how we are learning.5
  • As more of learning becomes Internet-based, a similar pattern seems to be occurring. Whereas traditional schools offer a finite number of courses of study, the “catalog” of subjects that can be learned online is almost unlimited. There are already several thousand sets of course materials and modules online, and more are being added regularly.

      There's a lot of information out there and we need to provide students with the critical thinking skills to successfully navigate between what is useful or true and that of utter rubbish. All the while encouraging them to expand their learning network, but not forgetting about the importance of face to face connections and hands on experiences.
