author 109 Ideas for Virtual Learning ISBN:1578862809

• foreword by John Seely Brown - I have focused here mostly on extended forms of cognitive apprenticeship where the internet can easily be seen to be an active medium fostering Learning By Doing, but nearly always with various kinds of social scaffolding to help create a reflective practicum.

• there's not really a focused point to the book, but a couple big themes are:

  • the World Wide Web, as open HyperText, changes the nature of learning via the exploration of knowledge (Intertwingularity). Unfortunately Text-Book and other Publishing Industry and Educational Technology players are still sticking with Invisible Content models.

  • don't bother trying to change the schools (Educating Kids)

  • focus on spreading Mobile computers (Lap Top, PDA, Cell Phone) and Always On/UbiComp networking (WiFi).
