Week 5 – Social media in ELT
16Feb08
The best thing that’s happened to me this week has been being pointed in the direction of John Seely Brown. Read his Learning, Working & Playing in the Digital Age with great enjoyment and was amazed too see that it’s based on a presentation he made in 1999. He really had his finger on the button to read and analyse the significance of the varied forms of learning that were emerging around him. After looking for more stuff written/produced by him, found this video of a presentation he made in 2007. Not only inspiring stuff but full of concrete examples of ways of learning that go far beyond the classroom walls.

I am glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the video. Most interesting. Rudolf, Aaron and I have also got inspiration from him in our article P2P and Learning Ecologies in EFL/ESL
