Suddenly I am located and know where I am and can easily find out what is around me and where to go next. Mobile context information might limit my impression I get from my own eyes. :-)Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155682948256137053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284297226882099213.post-88457214070560815332009-03-11T15:12:00.000-07:002009-03-11T15:12:00.000-07:00Well, I came back to point out another bit of info...Well, I came back to point out another bit of informal learning that was picked up by Stephen Downes in OLDaily, http://blog.igenoukan.com/2008/11/keeping-people-involved.html . Yet the groups of behavior thing seems to have intrigued you, so I'll give a little more info about that. Studies have shown that experts organize thoughts based on what needs to be done, while novices will organize thoughts by content. I found a book that can be read online that covers this nicely in the second chapter. Here's the link, http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=9853 . While I'm not an expert, I prefer the long term efficiency of thinking that way. It does have it's drawbacks though.Steven Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389795610060192074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284297226882099213.post-35953527369659230192009-03-11T06:28:00.000-07:002009-03-11T06:28:00.000-07:00hi Anamaria, To me blogging and the social dynamic...hi Anamaria, <BR/><BR/>To me blogging and the social dynamic it results in, is indeed a form of informal learning. To me it is above all a way to reflect on content that I try to digest and relate this to others. For me it is informal, because it is build on unstructured exchange of ideas with peers.Inge (Ignatia) de Waardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170929012404880320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284297226882099213.post-18163083146962881822009-03-11T04:42:00.000-07:002009-03-11T04:42:00.000-07:00I learn a lot out of reading blogs.

Would you say that blogging is a form of informal e-learning?Anamaria Camargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759150505762566628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284297226882099213.post-63456950263087970222009-03-11T03:10:00.000-07:002009-03-11T03:10:00.000-07:00@bookjewel thanks for your kind words.@bookjewel thanks for your kind words.Inge (Ignatia) de Waardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170929012404880320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284297226882099213.post-35143486414008243612009-03-11T03:09:00.000-07:002009-03-11T03:09:00.000-07:00waw Steven, what a rich amount of examples.

I know there are more, but I see them in groups of behaviors rather than details of individual events.Steven Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389795610060192074noreply@blogger.com
