“All the knowledge is in the connections”
David Rumelhart
We always lived in a connected world, except we were not so much aware of it…That has changed drastically in the last decade, at many, many different levels.
Albert-lászló Barabási
“The Board believes this environment calls for a much faster pace of change in administrative structure, in governance, in financial resource development and in resource prioritization and allocation. We do not believe we can even maintain our current standard under a model of incremental, marginal change. The world is simply moving too fast.”

Systemic Change
Reducing the basic units of education:From courses to competencies
Knowledge work requires different physical and conceptual structures from traditional work.
Schools need to reflect this.
There is wide agreement that we need new models of education, and not simply new models of schooling, but entirely new visions of learning better suited to the increasing complexity, connectivity, and velocity of our new knowledge society.http://connectedlearning.tv/
When we create, it can be analyzed and new patterns can be discovered
(understood, evaluated, interrogated)
Why is this important?
When we don’t impose strict order up front, we have to apply intelligence later to integrate knowledge and discussions…
