Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Judy Breck is an articulate advisor in our community. She envisions that Afghanistan and other countries where schools are in disarray have the opportunity to lead the world in venues of wireless mobility and improving access to knowledge. Arguing for universal connectivity, she reminds us that every Internet point of access is an immediate school ready for a teacher or student to use for learning - anywhere on Earth. We can all be informed and encouraged by Judy's connected and optimistic view of the future. -- Oleg Petrov, information officer, Development Gateway/World Bank [Breck] argues that networks may replace schools, and that universal connectivity will bring an end to ignorance, serparation, and terrorism, and demonstrates how network connectivity is transforming business enterprises, becoming a new artistic medium, and providing a new locus for human knowledge. * Reference and Research Book News * Judy Breck's book makes you realize that we're living through a part of history that is happening before our eyes and changing the world in more dramatic ways than even the most far-fetched science fiction tale could predict. Sometimes it's hard to grasp significant change while its happening, and it's shocking to realize that such a historical transformation is currently under foot. Networked communication has the power to cure and heal many of the world's inequities and injustices. The power to hear and be heard is the most important power in the world, and as this capability becomes available to more and more human beings through networks, the possibility for global peace and freedom becomes a new and powerful hope. This book fills your mind with ideas and connections. It offers more food for thought than any book I've read in a long time -- Lynda Weinman, professional educator and author

Reseña del editor:

Applying the hot, new network theories to education, Breck describes an emerging and entirely new medium of expression platformed in connectivity that is creating compelling new learning assets nestled into an online webbed matrix of academic subjects. She argues for abandoning standards and grade separation for the natural knowledge context formation arising spontaneously within the Internet. It is a fascinating world where schools are replaced by networks and universal individual connectivity brings about astounding changes when we all study on a common virtual ground and when we can all be heard.
