A presentation for Parkland School Division in Edmonton. It's a variation on one I've a few times, each time changing some ideas. Essentially it's a look at why we need each other.

47. Tell that to Chris Avenir

48. Tell that to Chris Avenir
Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation
for online behavior and that makes it
incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic
integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails
to meet the standard for academic rigor.

50. “Books are designed to contain all the
information required to stop inquiries
within the book’s topic. But now that our
medium can handle far more ideas and
information, and now that it is a
connective medium (ideas to ideas, people
to ideas, people to people), our strategy is
changing. And that is changing the very
shape of knowledge.”

51. “Bringing smart people together is an
ancient and effective technique for
developing ideas. The Net also lets
smart people connect and
communicate. But the Net brings people
together in new and occasionally
weird configurations—a weirdness
that is now being reflected in how
expertise works....”

is the room. Dave Weinberger
