And I totally agree with you - the tools are merely a means to facilitate the learning. If try to get people to use them because they are cool it just won't happen.Maria Hlashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367315191251651956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396907960885825471.post-7743783374051559302008-03-22T08:40:00.000-07:002008-03-22T08:40:00.000-07:00Maria,One of my favorite quotes is, "In theory, th...Maria,<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite quotes is, "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is."<BR/><BR/>I'm always glad to find people like you working to figure out ways to help learning happen. I've had a lot of corporate experience, which strongly suggests Learning 2.0 ain't just gonna happen (not that the little number there <I>helps</I>) -- or not in a timeframe that makes sense to organizations, which is where most people work.<BR/><BR/>If I had the answers, I'd be giving keynotes somewhere. I do think, however, that real-life efforts to solve real-life problems are crucial. Your previous comments about wikis made me think of an example -- a project team sharing what they know and what they do via a wiki.<BR/><BR/>As I write that, the key to me seems to be the verb: <I>sharing what they know,</I> rather than <I>using a wiki.</I> The wiki is of course the tool, but most of the time, on the job, we're paying attention to the work, and not the tool.<BR/><BR/>All of which is to say, welcome to blogging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
