review 1: Interesting discussion on the difference between teaching and learning, how the instability of knowledge calls for different learning models, and the call for lifelong learning as a requirement for the times we live in. Also the idea that learning is a participatory process as opposed to a passive data dump from the teacher to the student. Finally, how the internet not only expands our knowledge base but puts us in touch with other people or "collectives" with whom we can learn together. I was not as excited about the end of the book on the potential of online gaming as a framework for learning.
review 2: This book was so good, I drew heavily from it to write my professional mission statement, which is to: "help create a collective learning environment which en... morecourages innovative and effective use of technology to personalize and cultivate deep, sustained learning throughout the district." . If you are looking for a nuts & bolts or how to book, this is not it. If you are looking for something that will challenge you to rethink your approach to learning and open your eyes to what lies ahead then this book will delight you! less
