He does claim that the information is already available but to me that is hardly a criticism. Almost all ideas are built on other people's ideas. Science in particular comes to mind. The foundations must be established before the theory can be built so I think this criticism is a bit pointless.

Zsolt KulcsárThe notorious Skinner got that one right. The boundary issue is crucial. In considering the learning process we need to ask: What happens inside our body / brain, what happens outside, in the external environment, and how are the inside and the outside connected? What is the mind, where is it and how does it work? These are core theoretical questions about learning with immense practical significance. The necessary process of formulating a new learning theory ought to incorporate and struggle with a modern synthesis of philosophy, cognitive science (including artifical intelligence research) and the history of learning theory. My critique of George Siemen's Connectivism suggests that a better job could have been done.

Add Sticky NoteNetwork based learning theories might be more visible because the network is more visible, new and exciting.

I think this is a good point - maybe we can see these connections now thanks to electronic media

Add Sticky NoteIf the third world can have one laptop per child then why can't the first and second worlds?
-
This is such an important point. OLPC didn't offer laptops to kids in the American Digital Divide for over a year. It's like people forget that not everyone can afford to be online, have a computer, be digitally connected.

Add Sticky Notetreat writing and speaking as an environmental manipulation that transforms the problem space for human brains. We are constructing some form of internal and external higher order structures in this process
-
I think this makes sense, esp if you recognize that the writing and "speaking" online makes the networks that you create very visible.

How about thinking how the new technologies also help special needs kids bridge learning gaps

Network based learning theories might be more visible because the network is more visible, new and exciting. This is not a complete explanation of the popularity of connectivism – 1000 registrations to this conference - but it does serve as a reminder that we need to go back and have a good hard look at existing learning theories and what they have to offer
-
the separation of structure from style in digital documents, advanced search skills, RSS feeds, aggregation, folksonomies might turn out to be short lived but seem important for the present – as presented in the recent YouTube video, The Machine is Us – Using Us.
