Minds on Fire

This article reminded me what I have learned from ITEC 800 class. The concept of social learning,learning community,or connectivism, for me they are almost the same idea and I totally agree that these concepts are very effective way to learn this day. I enjoyed reading this paper, so many inspiring idea and example.If I have time, I will explore more all those websites (I hope).I like to quote some sentences from this article,the ideas that get in to my mind.

"Mastering the field of knowledge involves not only "learning about" the subject but also "learn to be" a full participant in the field" This is so true when I think about my experiences.What I learned 4 years and 2 years from my previous degree couldn't compare to what I have learned from the works. This idea is related to another sentence ,"...the process of seeking the knowledge when it is needed in order to carry out a particular situated task."

The second life is also a great tool for education,I hope in the near future we will have Thai websites that bring this idea to encourage Thai children to learn and explore more about science since Thailand still don't have enough human resources in the science field.
