Ecologies of Learning Presentation

Wow. The presentation that Mr. Pete is giving is something else to behold. I think society as a whole has some ways to go until a solid web ecology can be fully developed. However, I think what we have learned today is critical to us as educators. It was a simple yet straightforward look into the growing world of the ecology of learning. It was interesting to learn that less than 50% of the net is in English. I will definitely look up Barbara Gandley and read her blog on writing. Innovation is a difficult thing to get across to others. Creating a new system is not easy either. Today's presentation was not only just for technology, it could apply to any educational innovation in general. The post-modernism theory is also something to look into. And even though I love the current school semesters, I didn't know that this system originated at Cambridge University around the 1100's. Okay, so we are a little slow to change :). Great presentation, great discussion afterwards.....SPASEEBA!!
