From blogging to cellphone video, technology has forever changed the way we process and communicate about tragedy — in good ways, and perhaps bad.

Since Monday, there has been a non-stop flood of postings on the popular Facebook student site, on MySpace and LiveJournal, and on personal blogs — expressing everything from grief to anger to confusion.

"What better place to mourn someone than a place that they themselves built to express who they are, and a place where the deceased and his or her friends may have spent a great deal of time interacting?”

Getting things done requires good connections, both the human kind and the Internet kind.

Schooling has confused us into thinking that learning was equivalent to pouring content into people’s heads. It’s more practical to think of learning as optimizing our networks.

John Seely-Brown

Education is going through a large-scale transformation toward a more participatory form of learning.

Rather than treat pedagogy as the transfer of knowledge from teachers who are experts to students who are receptacles, educators should consider more hands-on and informal types of learning. These methods are closer to an apprenticeship, a farther-reaching, more multilayered approach than traditional formal education.

We are learning in and through our interactions with others while doing real things. I'm not saying that knowledge is socially constructed, but our understanding of that knowledge is socially constructed. It is in participation with others that we come into "being" and internalize our own understandings of the world.
