Moonedit: Technologies of Co-operation in Education

Of course it was the great Howard Rheingold who uses the phrase technologies of cooperation around all things that relate to information/cultural economic production on digital platforms that enable many people to become actors to engage, act, edit, and collectively add value to something.

We have many examples on our blog. Tim Harrap a regular reader of CDB sent me this note via email today

Speaking to one of our IT guys just now about your blog....

What do students think today, How do they see their education system?

He mentioned to me about the use of Moonedit by students in the States. Wikipedia entry This is device allows the students to type a transcript, edit it, google facts and publish a document by the end of the lecture. Phew! Perhaps you don't need 26 hours in a day........

I was speaking in Malmo yesterday, and its clear to me that we have as I have pointed out before a entire generation that will work, act, engage in ways previously thought not possible.

Our observation is that those of Gen C - will naturally take this collaborative philosophy and approach into their working environment. It will transform businesses, business culture, business models and how businesses operate. And we see collaborative engagement in many industries.

Social networks are now seen as central to the way in which young adults toggle between business and leisure.

Gen C Teachers will take this learning into schools and apply it, though I am sure there will be resistance. But that is normal. The Telegraph companies did everyting in their power to stop Alexander Graham-Bell with his mad cap telephone idea. The telegraph companies were even lobbying government to legislate against the introduction of the telephone.

This is the Community Generation that Tomi and I write about in the book. This is the Wealth of Networks and the economics of Group forming Network theory which outperform traditional economic and media theories.

Thank you Tim for the hat tip.

I impressed, I need to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog thatboth educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very completely satisfied that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
