It is not as simple as that. First we need to educate people how to use the internet. A sixth of the population use internet, but mainly browsing and email. They don't use web2.0 tools, RSS feeds etc.

Recently, I received a some really good questions related specifically to Second Life but primarily are about virtual worlds and the use of these worlds for education. I'll answer the questions here since I think they reflect concerns that many educators have related to the social networks and Second Life. 1) Kids use these “places” like Second Life, Facebook, etc. mostly for socializing.

Well, the first day of ICL 2008 has kicked off with a quick fire series of keynotes from Erhard Busek (Former Vice-President of Austria) who spoke on education for Europe - and emphasised the need for joined up thinking and a common understanding of who Europeans are. Then we can get down to addressing how education can be taken forward. Methinks he may be barking up the wrong tree here - Europe is such as diverse and multi-cultural group of countries (there is even dispute within most European

As part of my presentations on Work Literacy and eLearning 2.0 - I discuss how learning and knowledge work are changed by things such as computers, mobile computing, the web, social media, social networks, access to people/experts through the web, and the flood of new tools. To me, this change is still being underestimated - it's so radical that it's pretty hard to comprehend it.

This week I read a few things circulating in the blogosphere about Connectivism. Most of it is interesting. The readings provoked me to give some thought to the concept of exactly how I am connected to the message pipelines and communication networks around me. I noticed that there are some message pipelines that I exclusively make a conscious effort to take from at a time point which is convenient to me.

As ICL comes to a close and another international e-learning conference fades into memory, one has to stop and reflect. did this conference make any difference? The answer is probably both yes. and no. At an individual level, I have spoken to many delegates here who feel that the conference has been worthwhile, whether it is because they have been to sessions that have challenged or enlightened them, or on the other hand, perhaps they have met someone who has inspired them, or with whom they can

This week in CCK08 the discussions have revolved around aspects of knowledge. Some people have engaged in discussion around definition knowledge, others have tried to explore how knowledge is stored in the brain. Some have extended the discussion to the concept of understanding and there was a very interesting discussion on how knowledge or learning can take place in a ‘non-human appliance’ – be it social software or a robot!

Sorry to do this again but it is really on my mind. Ok, so one of the guys who wants $700 billion dollars as soon as possible to bail out the rich investment banks who greedily took on too much debt was, not too long ago, one of those people we are bailing out. Man this is the fox watching the hen house. This man, Paulson, was the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group (GS) for 8 years and was with the company for 15 years during the build up to this crisis (that no one saw coming).

Norman Lamont is frustrated again. This time, in Re-use Revisted , he wonders whether the idea that learning objects can be reusable is just a myth - sounds good on paper, doesn't work that way in practice. He asks whether anyone else out there ever finds they can re-use their learning objects. Good question. The idea behind the concept of learning objects is an elegant one.

With the economic downturn in full swing (assuming, that is, that downturns can swing) and training budgets as ever looking vulnerable as the first candidate for cuts, I'm beginning to hear once more that well-honed argument that training should be regarded as an investment and not an expense. As if that was all there was to it! "Oh, please accept our apologies for this misunderstanding," say the senior management team in unison, "how much money is it that you want?

Via Stephen Downes , I noticed this link of 25 Great Edublogs. It is an excellent list. Coming off of a women’s blogging jam here at IiL08 (which went over two hours) I just have to sigh when I see that 22 of the 25 listed are men. Mostly older men. Mostly white. We had some discussion on this. I realize that this is just a listing based on Zaid’s preferences and applaud him for featuring great edubloggers (I have done so here - in past posts - with women edubloggers).
