We-Think – Charles Leadbeater – Mass innovation not mass production review by Tony Fish We-Think – Charles Leadbeater – Mass innovation not mass production review by Tony Fish From the inside of the cover …. “You are what you share. That is the ethic of the world being created by YouTube and MySpace, Wikipedia and Facebook. We-Think is a rallying call for the shared power of the web to make society more open and egalitarian. We-Think reports on an unparalleled ware of collaborative creativity as people from California to China devise ways to work together that are more democratic, productive and creative. The generation growing up with the web will not be content to remain spectators. A very good book for those who are thinking outside of the Box. Leadbeater develops the idea (as I did in mobile web 2.0 www.futuretext.com ) that Maslow pyramid is about how we gain identity and what value there is in this.

Crash course in learning theory « If pets could design user experiences... | Main | Crash Course in Learning Summary » Crash course in learning theory One formula (of many) for a successful blog is to create a "learning blog". A blog that shares what you know, to help others. It's what I try to do here because--let's face it--you're just not that into me ; ) But I assume (since you're reading this blog) that you ARE into helping your users kick ass. So, as promised in an earlier post, here's a crash course on some of our favorite learning techniques gleaned from cognitive science, learning theory, neuroscience, psychology, and entertainment (including game design). This is not a comprehensive look at the state of learning theory today, but it does include almost everything we think about in creating our books. Crash Course in Learning Theory The long version... • Talk to the brain first, mind second. Learning is not a one-way "push" model. To find a "meaningful benefit", play the "Why? • Use visuals! • Context matters.

Learning to Learn home page "Since we cannot know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." John Holt The Campaign defines 'learning to learn' as a process of discovery about learning. In brief, 'learning to learn' offers pupils an awareness of: how they prefer to learn and their learning strengths how they can motivate themselves and have the self-confidence to succeed things they should consider such as the importance of water, nutrition, sleep and a positive environment for learning some of the specific strategies they can use, for example to improve their memory or make sense of complex information some of the habits they should develop, such as reflecting on their learning so as to improve next time .

Yes, absolutely. Yet "to think" is insufficient, of course. And yes, democracy=good. Yet original "democracy" consisted of small (like, 100+ people!) city states and worked. A democracy of 7B is much more challenging. For example, there was a very, *very* sad case here in Canada late last week of pictures of a young girl being gang raped and put up on Facebook. I don't believe in evil, yet what does one do with creepy "ideas" like that one? Shut it down. Repeatedly, consistantly and vigourously, yes. And yes, I suppose the cost of doing so is worth the benefit of freedom of ideas. But it does illustrate a bigger issue: any democracy, like the www, is ultimately, mathematically *average*. How do good/brilliant/genius ideas rise and prevail among 7B "average" participants? Look at Wilileaks and the perhaps-slur-campaign its founder is facing. One good idea potentially brought down by muckraking powerbrokers with more power than ideas. Majority ~= best! So how to mitigate? by seannab Sep 20
