Question

What does it mean to work

in a participatory 2.0 world?

There are some things best not taught directly

Quote of the day

Quotations are good for capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and

ideas.

They can be inspirational and can help us reveal and assess the assumptions,

values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

Some quotations to reflect on

Walk the talk

We must become the change we

want to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Work with People

An innovative, healthy organization requires

that we work with people rather than do

things to them. Alfie Kohn

No doctrine

I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something.

I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen.

I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside.

I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue.

Martin Buber

How Children Fail

Children do not need to be made to learn to be better, told what to do or

shown how.

If they are given access to enough of the world,

they will see clearly enough what things are truly important to themselves and to others,

and they will make for themselves a better path into that world then

anyone else could make for them.

John Holt

On being taught

Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being

taught.

Sir Winston Churchill

Have learning conversations

The kind of conversation I’m interested in is one in

which you start with a willingness to emerge a slightly different person.

Theodore Zeldin

Yes, You.

You control the Information Age.

Welcome to your world.

Person of the year, December 2006

Yes, we.

We control the Informaton Age.

Welcome to our world.
