Was unterscheidet Google von Facebook? Mit welchen Konsequenzen für das Lernen?
Interesting article about limitations of Learning Mangement Systems (content-focused) with respect to social networking, collaboration, teamwork (Social Networking Systems - SNS). Posits the success of Facebook as evidence that social networking is important not only in life but also education. Facebook as a model for future online education? Not until they get the privacy thing fixed.
"Google and Facebook are very different companies. Google has its roots in content – their explicit aim is to organize the worlds information. Facebook, in contrast, is socially driven with the aim of helping “you connect and share with the people in your life”.
The distinction between these two approaches is important for educators to consider, as we face a similar dichotomy in how we approach teaching and learning with technology."

Future of learning: LMS or SNS?

Information is commodity- it's useful and organizing it is needed.
Social structures are a human's bread and butter. We are wired to want and need social contact. Why else do we care about marraige and friends?
Online social networks such as diigo and twitter provide us with something valuable that grows over time. Whuffie online mirrors Whuffie in face to face activities. Do good and communicate, and you gain from the interest and help of others.

Indeed! Which explains it's mass market appeal. And why I don't want one. (Although I may be idiotic.)

So why teach content? Our schools need to step up to the plate and teach learners critical thinking, collaborating, creating.

Best way to teach content is to teach its use- here here!
