So now this is my reflective post to work my way through the idea that unscrupulous information imposters will be able to figure out how to use social media to control information networks. Think about information. Information Needs. Information has more depth than data because information responds to a need.
 

The Best from the eLearning Learning Community

Maybe part of a group’s signature is to create barriers to the information seeking behavior that would allow individual group members to connect to different networks. found a paper that I may rework and post about “information imposters&#. Here’s the definition of an information imposter from Dr.
Our learning is influenced and guided by our own information seeking behavior. We are taught (or conditioned) how to seek information in school, from our families, in our churches or other community groups. So even in a simple setting like a knitting club, there is information-seeking behavior.
PKM consists of practical methods for making sense of the increasing digital information flows around us. Data does not create information; information does not create knowledge and knowledge does not create wisdom.  People use their knowledge to make sense of data and information. Data + Knowledge = Information.
We need a new pedagogy, problem-focused on things kids are interested in, as Harold suggests, and focusing on their information seeking and experimentation and evaluation and the self-learning skills, not on rote exercise of skills.  What you do is look up information, make job aids (why are stickies so ubiquitous?), Do you? 
So, what does this have to do with Information stewards and imposters? don’t care for the mascot, because the drama the University creates around it sets my alma mater up to be an information imposter. They jam the information social system with their own psuedo-information, shutting down the information seeking process.
My undergraduate degree is Information Studies, so I have a bit of training in thinking about how information flows, and how to use technology to enable information seeking behavior between groups.  Where do you start? Particular tools you should explore? Resources you should read? Videos/screencasts you should watch?
am very interested in figuring out how the thoughts in this week’s CCK08 discussions (which is about networks and groups) are different than existing group theory produced by sociological, ethnographic, and information studies disciplines. I want to start by getting something off my chest. Good stuff! quoted a paper by Steven R.
Tony asked for specific experiences on how to find the information you need, when you need it. You have to start first with the known areas of information seeking for a particular topic. first called the help line, but they couldn’t fill my need for information. What works and doesn’t work?

I have been reviewing the blog discussions on Work Literacy Gap and Frameworks between Harold Jarche , Tony Karrer and Michelle Martin's. The discussions are very helpful in formulating my thoughts on the issues of social learning tools, technologies and impacts on performance. The exchange of ideas is very rich with practical stories and theories.
