For example, it will be assumed that college students know the basics of calculus, and the classroom time will focus on applying the math to real-world problems — perhaps in exploring the physics of climate change or modeling trends in stock prices, he said.
- Oh, and I almost forgot... this shouldn't be just a the college level... the real world application needs to happen earlier, in elementary, middle and high school curriculums. - on 2009-08-21
- This is an important point to relay to policy makers and those that support tougher standards, accountability and more testing. - on 2009-08-21

Arguably, the term "community" has become an ambiguous buzzword
community can be a vehicle for connecting people to other people's stories, experiences, and mentoring, which results in accelerated learning and the sharing of "tacit" knowledge** within an organization.
12 more annotations...
- Approximately 70% of what an employee needs to know for success is learned outside of formal training
- (e.g., on the job, through mentoring, etc.). Communities extend learning by creating a structure whereby people can learn from "informal" interactions.
- Communities are a way to elicit and share practical know-how that would otherwise remain untapped.
- Communities become a boundaryless container for knowledge and relationships that can be used to increase individual effectiveness and a company's overall competitive advantage.
- Online Conference Communities
- (1) that the deeper the personal relationships between learners, the richer the collaborative learning experience; and (2) that relationships between learners may be strengthened through structuring group interactions (using technology) before and/or after an face-to-face training event
- Rather than end the learning experience when participants walk out the door, a structure and process is provided to keep people engaged, connected and productive for a designated period of time.
- Follow-on communities can serve as vehicles for sharing group projects, discussing findings from field research, and receiving mentoring from peers and instructors.
- Some having likened the end-to-end community to a "digital sandwich††" since the face-to-face meeting is typically "sandwiched" between group interactions supported by eLearning and collaboration tools and technologies.
- facilitate introductions, set expectations, and ensure equal participation, these same activities (and other common group processes) can and should be applied in the online world.
- The goal of technology should be to serve the community through its transparency - learners' time should be spent learning about the topic at hand, not about how to use a given technology.
- Ideally technology should be transparent to the instructor as well - no technical knowledge should be required to customize or manage the environment.

A search on "ipod touch" on Tim Stahmer's blog (www.assortedstuff.com) pulls up some interesting perspective.

ipod ipod_touch learning personal

While I think the iPod Touch could be an excellent learning tool (my iPhone certainly is), I’m also the resident curmudgeon about such things so naturally I have a few concerns about this initiative.
it’s clear that many people around here are looking at the iPod Touch the same way they do our current laptops.
5 more annotations...
- Almost exclusively we use computers as group technologies. We have a bunch of them in a lab and then bring in a bunch of kids to use them for some teacher-designed activity.
- However, the iPod Touch, and other pocket computing devices, are intended for personal use.
- They are designed to be customized, personalizing the user’s experience so, instead of everyone seeing the same desktop, we all see ourselves in the device.
- We just need to find people who are already using these devices in our schools (our IT department sees several thousand a day on the network) and invite them to tell us how they use their iPod Touch.
- And the few instructional examples noted in the article are pretty much the same as some of the very superficial whiteboard lessons I’ve observed.
