I appreciate Pip’s LinkedIn comment where she queries: “I am interested in the way that incorporating social media into our lives and teaching will change the way we perceive knowledge, and therefore how we will assess knowledge.”
My reply:
It seems we used to consider knowledge a thing we could possess. It may be however, with the exponential doubling of the knowledge base that we now view knowledge as something we “access” rather than “possess.” Therefore, the most prepared would be those who command the greatest access on a superficial level, and who have the skill to ‘mine’ what they need, on a more intrinsic level.
