I was wondering if you had any thoughts on anarchism in education? The wikipedia entry has everything but! [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]

I listened to your presentation today and found it to be very interesting. I liked all of your comments, but I still find your fear of a LMS to be out of character. You mentioned a few time during the talk that if you are being restricted by a boss, email system or structure be radical and work around it, don't stand for it. The limitations within any LMS, and they all have them just means one has to be creative and work around them. What an LMS gives you is a structure in which you can start to achieve some of the objectives you might have. An example of a creative use of a LMS is the "Association of Online K-12 schools". This associations uses a combination of blogs and webct to create a system in which it is possible to build community and categorize and share resources. http://www.scs.sk.ca/cyber/aok12s/home.htm Once again you have tickled my interest with your talk...keep up the good work.

Stephen, All you have here is right on! I just wrote another SEEMLESS item for Ray Ozzies recent Microsoft memo. My seemless learning item would seem to be well aligned with your sentiments. SEAMLESS LEARNING – Enabling you to create, store, organize, present, consume and interact with knowledge sources of all kinds; accessing, caching and viewing it anywhere you like regardless of where the knowledge resides. You should be able to share this personal knowledge base (or knowledge ecosystem) with all the others with whom you need to work and learn. see my blog for further reference to the Ray Ozzie memo. http://blog.rawsthorne.org/index.php?p=46 Thanks for all your great insights...
