Learning changes

Posted on September 28th, 2005 by Sacha Chua

Via Weblogg-ed: Connecting for Life comes this blog post on Elearnspace: Connectivism, which points out that learning these days isn't just about constructing knowledge in your head, but connecting to knowledge that's out there. The post goes on to say that education should be reshaped to fit that new need.

Amen! One of the reasons why I love teaching how to use del.icio.us, Google, social networking tools, and other fun stuff...
