The Learning Circuits Blog: The New Hierarchy: First, learning to BE; second, learning to DO; and only then, learning to KNOW

Fresh off of my presentation yesterday on Web 2.0, I read this post by Clark Aldrich titled: The New Hierarchy: First, learning to BE; second, learning to DO; and only then, learning to KNOW. It's a fascinating post in which he posits that people:

1. first have to become aware of themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and their surroundings, which is the realm of dabbling in Web 2.0 social networking.


2. This is followed by learning how to influence and change their surroundings.


3. Finally, we learn about our place in the larger space-time continuum.

But he saves the best for last with the following:

"I say again that what we teach is limited by what we can teach. The exciting thing about this new media order is that we have more power at our fingertips for development than ever before."

Great point.
