Being comfortable with chaos is difficult, but I agree it is where we need to be. Teaching and learning on the edge of chaos is a reality, I think, in today’s chaotic, fast paced, information overload world. My Superintendent a couple of weeks ago said, “There is a fine line between coherent and chaos.” I think he’s write. The problem I see is education likes the coherent side of that line and we don’t believe that education should be chaotic and messy...A chronicle of how knowledge is changing and the way we become aware, how we learn, make sense of a world that is connected at the speed of light and enjoy greater access (and exposure) than ever before.

"Knowledge - a changing landscape"
In this book George Siemens looks at ways the context around knowledge is changing and the influence this is having on on the perception of knowledge itself. A chronicle of how knowledge is changing and the way we become aware, how we learn, make sense of a world that is connected at the speed of light and enjoy greater access (and exposure) than ever before. Consider:


1. The rise of the individual - ability to voice and show, blogs and YouTube. Everyone is now a publisher.

2. Increased connectedness - affordances for conversation enable dialog across distance and time

3. Immediacy and 'now' - knowledge half-life is shrinking fast. It has... More > become a matter of urgency to 'know' in our business and social life.

4. Breakdown and repackaging - new tools allow everyone to rip, mix and burn. It is possible to re-create 'new' works and insights by making a collage of existing material.

5. Prominence of the conduit - new publishing media have opened things. Bogs, wikis, photo sharing, social bookmarking have provided forums for self expression not previously available.

6. Global socialization - networking everywhere from MySpace to SecondLife. New media promote the flow of knowledge, making it easier to find people , share interests, collaborate and create new stuff.

7. Blurring worlds of physical and virtual - 'on the go' becomes the norm. We can connect 24x7, from anywhere to mostly everything.



KnowingKnowledge is a timely revisit of emerging perceptions and a collection of deep thoughts around a subject of importance to business, education, learning and personal development. It is a useful meta commentary on the nature of knowledge itself < Less

I think you’re on the right track. Being comfortable with chaos is difficult, but I agree it is where we need to be. Teaching and learning on the edge of chaos is a reality, I think, in today’s chaotic, fast paced, information overload world. My Superintendent a couple of weeks ago said, “There is a fine line between coherent and chaos.” I think he’s write. The problem I see is education likes the coherent side of that line and we don’t believe that education should be chaotic and messy…but that is exactly where we need to be!
