Great to see theory being turned into practice!!! I have been following George Siemmens (University of Manitoba) since he presented at the Global Summit last year and I really like his ‘theory’ which he calls connectivism(some say it is not new), but the notion of knowledge being distributed in networks and the importance of knowledge building being a social activity is probably an extension of Social Constructivism theory.

I also like the idea that we can now use networks as filters on the complex world, so information literacy is now a more than being able to find resources in a repository!!

Thanks for a really interesting post!!
