George Siemens key note speaker

What r the characteristics of a 'learning network'? Openess, learner control , belonging & trust, culture of sharing, ecology.

"Connections r to learning what atoms are to the physical world."

Learning is in connections and the patterns of those connections - how we connect to a concept.

Understanding is the degree of connectedness to those concepts.

Content & control has shifted to the learner. They have their own tools & connections often in the palm of their hand. What happens now? As we move forward, what role do buildings & classrooms play?
