For many, thoughtful integration of the Web of Learning requires incremental change and constant reflective practices, which perhaps may lead to less opposition and reluctance. He detailed 10 trends that backed up his claims. In this book, I will detail 10 learning technology trends that make world increasingly open for education. These 10 trends spell word WE-ALL-LEARN. Where will you step? And what will you do once you enter this gargantuan web of learning? Friedman discussed a triple convergence that is in his words is turbo-charging this flattening process. This triple convergence involves a flattened playing field, new players within that playing field, and a change in business management processes. So much hope exists there for you. You can change careers. And new playing field is highly apparent in collaborative technologies that enable colleagues and employees to come from anywhere in planet. This is why the world is open. |
