eLearning Guild Annual Gathering 2007
Jay Cross,
Informal Learning,
Apr 11, 2007
I am in Boston where I'll be presenting at the E-Learning Guild conference tomorrow. I caught most of the keynote summarized by Jay Cross in this post and while it surveyed the trends evident in the participation culture it didn't, I think, capture the import. We are seeing today movements that are derivative of popular culture - people protesting WTO and governments, people mashing up commercial media, people gaming American Idol. But these are transition phenomena. Eventually (and sooner than you might thing) people will want to govern themselves, create their own media, select their own idols. What then? On this, I think, Jenkins was silent.
If you were unable to access the audio from yesterday, it is now accessible. Just another artifact of my use of a new Mac on this trip - who would have thought Fetch (its stupidly-named FTP client) would upload files with no access permissions? I can read email but for some reason the Mac won't let me send any. And I have discovered that the Mac simply does not work with my iRiver. Happily I brought the PC as a backup. But in unrelated news, I managed to shatter the iRiver's clear plastic faceplate. Ouch!
