    Maybe we need a combination of both certain specifics, but an increasing emphasis on networking. Check out George Siemen's new learning theory called Connectivism http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_05/article01.htm
    or his videos on The Changing Nature of Knowledge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMcTHndpzYg&feature=PlayList&p=3E43054A8703F57A&index=0 and The Network is the Learning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpbkdeyFxZw&feature=PlayList&p=3E43054A8703F57A&index=4 Retrieved January 10, 2009.
