Knowledge, Learning, Community
I recently created a stand-alone page for my video Web 2.0 and your own Learning and Development because Google Video is shutting down and I wanted a permanent home for people to link to (so much for saying that really big companies like Google can be trusted with your content). I also linked to it via Twitter at SXSW (When in Rome, tweet like the Romanians) and it has been found by a few people, including Marian Thacher, who discusses it here. One note: she says, "all of this only works for the very motivated learner... what about that learner who isn't so motivated, who has some learning challenges, for whom school was more of a misery than a joy?" Quite so - which is why I stress enabling students to manage their own learning and to follow their own interests. Otherwise, they won't be motivated, and the rest of this stuff is not nearly as effective as it could be.
