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. Chatman’s class notes: Information impostors are persons within a small group that give the illusion of having knowledge. They jam the information social system with their own psuedo-information, shutting down the information seeking process. | LEARNING AND WORKING ON THE WEB MARCH 18, 2010  personal knowledge management & wisdom PKM consists of practical methods for making sense of the increasing digital information flows around us.

| ADVENTURES IN CORPORATE EDUCATION SEPTEMBER 7, 2009 Information Stewardship: the only answer to Information Imposters 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. The definition of an information imposter (from my notes from Elfreda Chatman ): Information impostors are persons within a small group that give the illusion of having knowledge. They jam the information social system with their own psuedo-information, shutting down the information seeking process. grew up in the Florida panhandle. | CLARK QUINN AUGUST 27, 2009 Kill the curriculum? 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?), Harold Jarche (@hjarche) retweeted his prior post on “ First, we kill the curriculum “, and generated some serious interest. Still, I want to make the point. and this is, I think a valid point. Why are we still teaching long division? Do you? | ADVENTURES IN CORPORATE EDUCATION OCTOBER 14, 2008 Learning Circuits Blog Big Question: E-Learning 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. The Learning Circuits Blog Big Question for October is about E-Learning, specifically: What advice would you give to someone new to the field (of E-Learning). Where do you start? Particular tools you should explore? Resources you should read? Videos/screencasts you should watch? What would your To Learn List look like? our organization is about creating instruction. | ADVENTURES IN CORPORATE EDUCATION OCTOBER 8, 2008 CCK08: The language of groups and networks 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. She specialized in studying the information seeking behavior of folks in small worlds, especially disenfranchised folks. One paper I wrote was titled “Information and Cyberspace: Ethnography and Virtual Communities&# (April 2000). I want to start by getting something off my chest.

ID REFLECTIONS | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012  The 21st Century Curator
Curation today takes on a new meaning in the context oftechnological affordance, information abundance, diminishing attention, hungerfor contextual and timely information, and constantly shifting, globally linkedlandscape. Aggregation : Aggregation is the act of curating the most relevant information abouta particular topic into asingle location. Distillation : Distillation is the act of curating information into a more simplistic format where onlythe most important or relevant ideas are shared. If Web 1.0 was aboutonline access and Web 2.0 But I digress. approaches? MORE >> - How information needs and small world signatures are related to affinity and relevance
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. We talk alot about the digital explosion of data at EMC , but how is data different than information? Information has more depth than data because information responds to a need. There may be a need for the information, but if that need is never expressed the information seeking process never begins.

GEORGE SIEMENS | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 web 3.0/xWeb
In many ways, this vision was captured in his original paper on Information Management: A proposal from 1989. People need to be willing to adopt formal language/structures in organizing information. While the scope provided by proponents of the semantic web may be too large, the organization of information can be helpful in organizational or contextual settings where word meanings don’t exhibit dramatic fluctuations.
