from The Adult Learner

from The New Social Learning
Social learning is not just about being social. It’s not just a matter of having the right tools. It’s about making learning a priority and using the tools of social media to facilitate a culture where we get better at getting better. It’s about being a stronger contributor and a savvier learner.* - Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner *emphasis added
