The importance of creating and sharing content gives everyone the opportunity to “tap into thousands of minds that (we) wouldn’t normally have access to” (Friedman 114). The greatest example of this was gold ore excavation story, that team was looking simply for notoriety and profits; just thinking about all of those special interest groups that are available to anyone, makes me giddy. , the vast amount of accessible that is. This of extreme importance when considering what our future students should be learning, but it does not over shadow the fact that we will have to continue mastering technologies that have not yet been created.
We all have a saving grace when we encounter something that we do not know, because we will never stop being learners. We have the access so we have no excuses. How else will our student learn to teach themselves if they do not see us doing just that along side of them?
The strongest parallel with Richards and Friedman that I am seeing is how they pull information from numerous sources to inform their reader bases as well as accomplish their own tasks. This is a lesson within itself, utilizing the web, through networking, uploading or podcasting, to reach an endpoint, were ever they maybe. This is a very eclectic process, and though some people may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with this mindset, it will be an integral part of how we can better utilize our classrooms.
