Conversation: hive mind or a free mind?
Posted by onlineteachernetwork on January 21, 2008
Update: There was a slight change of focus in this conversation. Check out Steven’s revised slides. More reflections on the session itself will follow shortly. Thanks to all who attended… and apologies to those who attempted to connect via Skypecast – it seemed the server was playing up!
Steven Parker, Leigh Blackall and the THED network are back with a bang in the New Year with this first conversation for 2008:
The future of learning in a networked world, hive mind or free mind?
Let’s talk about ecological, economic and social/political forecasts, with some educational models in response, then ground it all in real practical educational development for Travel and Tourism Sector and Education. See link to slides for references to key global economists, environmentalists and political scientist and to innovative educational models.
Starts January 22, 15:00 AEST [4am UTC (check your time)]
