Web 2.0 -George Siemens
I took about four pages of notes while listening to Mr.
Siemens presentation about three weeks ago. Although
the presentation was quiet lenghty, and I had to listen to
some parts over ago. I really enjoy listening to it, and one
thing he said really stuck with me.
Mr.Simens said that no one person has to be responible
for knowing everything, as long as someone in their
network of friends knows. I was actually relieved to hear
this. I grew up learning from teachers, and my enviroment
feeling that I had to know or be able to make some
type of connection with most things said to me. If I could
not I felt as if I was not smart enough.
So I say what is learning?,and does it matter if a person
uses their circle of friends as a source for things that seem
unclear or to dense. I say no. As an adult I have used the
internet in my social network, so why can I not use people
instead without feeling that I am being lazy.
For the past three weeks, when a individual asks me a
question I am unsure about. I quickly say," I do not know,
but someone in my social network does." I feel relieved,
and realize that I created a diverse network of friends that
keeps growing.
My question to you is who is in your social network?
