My own view is that communities can evolve, but cannot be designed top down. So begins one of my favorite education writers although I think he might be more appropriately thought of as a learning advocate. So how do we learn?

After posting my 4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals in response to Tony’s July “Big Question,” he commented:
was hoping that you would provide insight into the core skills and knowledge around communities and networks that learning professionals should have?
What’s the 5 minute and 60 minute learning piece that all knowledge workers should have to go through so they will be better at this?
It is hard to let some Tony Karrer disappointment persist. Nancy - I was super excited when I saw that you had posted on the topic.

When I was asked to facilitate a discussion on reflective learning and weblogs at the workshop on Informal learning and the use of social software in veterinary medicine I hesitated: while reflective learning is part of my practice, at the moment I’m far from the theories about it or from facilitating reflective learning in educational settings. Well, at the end it worked – we didn’t go that far into the reflective learning itself, but talked about uses of weblogs for learning of students and practitioners.
[This post was in drafts for a while; posted on the actual date of the workshop, so the participants can find it.]

This was part of School - From Teaching Institution to Learning Space which took place April 02 - 03, 2009 at the Estonian University of Life Sciences conference centre (Kreutzwaldi 1A, Tartu), Estonia. During the conference you could watch the conference online [link] .

We won’t educate them, we’ll just y’know, stop it .
mean, we banned sex education and that stopped everything . Students using the very tool these services are supposed to stop: to learn how to get to social networks which are banned. Banning vs education: What does failing to properly educate our children on social media I’ve got a good idea. Let’s ban kids from using social networks.

Don Tapscott:
“A modest country across the Atlantic that’s turning into the world leader in rethinking education for the 21st century.
It also scored some of the lowest educational achievement results in western Europe.
So Portugal launched the biggest program in the world to equip every child in the country with a laptop and access to the web and the world of collaborative learning. Interesting reportage in the Wikinomics blog , about the recent experiences in Portugal.
(however, however, do read the comments for more sceptical accounts from the field itself)
