Knowing Knowledge – George Siemens
Please follow the link below to view Breanna & I’s very first Prezi creation! It is a summary of the “Knowing Knowledge” article by George Siemens, followed by a couple questions to head up the discussion.
I loved your guys Prezi presentation, I thought it was wonderful!!! Well done! It was neat the things you could do with it….I will be looking into for the week I cover :).
1) How do you stay connected and on top of current info? What nodes (books, people, web sites, etc) do I use?
I really am not sure that I do a very good job at staying quite on top of current information, but when I do, I use websites that are pretty general like MSN, Google, I check BG a lot and my e-mail frequently. I suppose I typically think that if it is something that important it will be sent to me in an e-mail so I don’t forget! I check out MSN usually just about daily on current events/info things like that. I do also rely on word of mouth from people I work with and family. I will occasionally check out the local paper as well, usually online.
2) Siemen’s says ‘Understanding that a different view exists is very different from seeing the different view’. Talk about an experience that relates to this thought.
I could probably talk about this all day between my husband and I. We often have different views which we readily acknowledge, but rarely do I think we really “see each others different view”. It can be quite difficult to “see” what someone else see’s when quite simply we think differently, we have different opinions, and do not always have the same thought process, pattern, or even ideals at times. That does not go for just my husband and I :), but all of us. Everything lies in the eyes of the beholder, what I may ‘see’, you may not…… I think that is often what makes life interesting, messy, and fun…..is that we are all different. That is what kind of evens my husband and I out if you will…..what he thinks of I don’t and what I think of he doesn’t… 🙂
