Educators need to become curators •  Hyper-connected world is awash with content measured in exabytes,

or billions of gigabytes •  Learners are placing greater value on knowing where to find information

rather than on knowing the information themselves •  Solutions to problems are not from experts but from the wisdom of

networks •  Social learning is more important than formal learning in distributed

networked work environments

changing world •  To establish your self as a thought leader in your

area •  Connection is as important as content
