Just like Wikipedia, we can use the unGoogleable question to create a launching pad into more serious enquiry. It was to solve an unGoogleable question. It's no surprise then that many think that everything can be Googled.

How can we for example describe learning activities such as blogging, social networking, crowd sourced learning, or user generated content such as Wikipedia and YouTube using older theories? Or can they work together with the new theories to provide us with a basis to understand what is happening. I will be interested in your views.

Wikipedia is yet another example of disruptive innovation. Culturally Wikipedia has thoroughly disrupted the idea that you need to consult a printed encyclopaedia to get expert information. Technically it is a collaborative online work space for creating and sharing content. And because of technology, change is inevitable.

Other technologies have similar potential for positive disruption, and yet are largely ignored or forbidden in formal education contexts Wikipedia, as I mentioned in yesterday's post , is a disruptor. The basic philosophy behind Wikipedia and the general practice of user generated content is that everybody can be an editor and a commentator.

We can expect for example to see some of the more visionary professors encouraging their students to create and edit Wikipedia pages for course credits, or publish their own articles and books through open publishing for Kindle or other e-book platforms. Some may even decide to publish their own personal research through similar outputs.

Use slides or photo's to build a story. Here's a good comparison on wikipedia. Share a presentation on your screen (prezi or powerpoint) and provide an explanation. This is a way to get people into the topic and make them think before a meeting (think flipped classroom like the khan academy ). Make a visual storyline.

Web searches could only go so far to provide knowledge, and that knowledge might be superficial anyway, especially if it had been generated by amateurs on a site such as Wikipedia. There were already many criticisms of how users simply Googled something when they needed to know something. Now that doesn''t sound too shallow to me.

Tumblr operates similarly although it does a better job displaying photos and is a bit more spartan. As people use various different web sites to blog, update their status, post their location, or photos, sites and tools have emerged to aggregate these various actions into a continuous eclectic stream of activities.
