I am interested in informal learning, especially how social network in support of academic dialogue potentially constitute the basis of a learning body for scholars.
social networks are vital to informal learning. After looking at all kinds of fancy educational technologies, I came to the conclusion that the most powerful instructional technology ever invented is human conversation. Social networks simply bring in humans together however that happens. That’s the way social networks have created. that’s the way learning takes place.
Conversation. Conversation is easily the most important learning technology ever invented. Conversations carry news, create meaning, foster cooperation, and spark innovation. Encouraging open, honest conversation through work space design, setting ground rules for conversing productively, and baking conversation into the corporate culture spread intellectual capital, improve cooperation, and strengthen personal relationships.
