STOATLY DIFFERENT SEPTEMBER 30, 2012  Social Learning: Answers to 8 Crucial Questions I’ve got an odd relationship with the notion of social learning. Whilst I’m often at pains to remind people that social learning is nothing new, I’m acutely aware that the term is today a much broader one than it has been in years gone by. But ’social’ is something of a pariah in the corporate learning world, at least increasingly so it would seem. | ZAIDLEARN SEPTEMBER 30, 2012  A Juicy Collection of Bloom's Digital Taxonomies! CHALLENGE ! Today, educators are overwhelmed (literally drowning!) by thousands of web 2.0/social media/apps that they can use for learning and teaching. But, where/how to start? How do we choose the right solution for a particular learning context or activity? The LMS can certainly not solve all our learning and teaching needs and requirements. Any awesome one to suggest? :).

What literacies do you see as fundamental to a positive online experience? 23 Oct. | LEARNING AND WORKING ON THE WEB SEPTEMBER 30, 2012  Talent vs Labour Are you talent or labour? The difference may be very important. According to a recent article in the New York Times , talent is getting into a position to be able to push capitalism around, but not labour. Talent is extracting more of the pie and getting richer. The gulf grows between talent — the high-earning, differentiated workers — and labor, those widget makers who support them. itashare. | | | | | | | |

 PKM Book Alpha Version
Regular readers know that I am working on putting all of my thoughts on personal knowledge management together, as part of my PKM book project. In the spirit of sharing, and learning out loud, I have produced an Alpha version (it’s not advanced enough to even be considered Beta yet). In my last PKM book update I mentioned I was using a WordPress plug-in to organize the writing. It has some bugs, but I am learning work-arounds as I develop each subsequent version, so please bear with the formatting for now. seek_sense_share-pkm_guide (PDF 2.1 MORE >> -

TWITTERPATED WITH LEARNING | SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2012  Imperfect Simulations
I just killed humanity. In Pandemic 2 , your goal is to evolve and spread your disease to wipe out humanity. Even without a background in pathology or microbiology, I can assert with confidence that the game isn’t an exceptionally precise simulation of a global pandemic. However, as I played this game, I kept coming back to Jesse Schell’s idea that imperfect simulations can actually be more useful teaching tools than perfect ones , because of the questions they spark about gameplay versus reality. The key to using this game for educational purposes might just be an effective debrief. MORE >>
