Network Literacy:Leveraging the Potential
of a Hyperconnected World
Tectonic Shift "For any given organization, the important questions are 'When will the change happen?' and 'What will change?' The only two answers we can rule out are never, and nothing." Clay Shirky
Network Literacy
Not just our students.
Can we do that for ourselves?
“'What can you do?' has been replaced with 'What can you and your network connections do?' Knowledge itself is moving from the individual to the individual and his contacts.”

"We may well have reached a set of tipping points: Going forward, learning may be far more individualized, far more in the hands (and the minds) of the learner, and far more interactive than ever before. This constitutes a paradox: As the digital era progresses, learning may be at once more individual (contoured to a person's own style, proclivities, and interests) yet more social (involving networking, group work, the wisdom of crowds, etc.). How these seemingly contradictory directions are addressed impacts the future complexion of learning." --Howard Gardner
Online networks change distance
(Ulises Mejias)
Online, near and far are not physical distances.
“Near” is constructed.
“Nearness” is inclusion...
...”farness” is exclusion
The scale of our networks is changing
Knowledge resides in networks.
Learning in networks (assuming a connection) is an ongoing process, not an event.
The network is always learning.
