• Networking Reconsidered
  
  Social networking is becoming more important, both at the individual and institutional level. It conjures up images of classical networking and schmoozing, driven by individuals intent upon prying business cards out of others and relentlessly expanding their contact lists, manipulatively using their contacts to advance their own interests. Our focus on social networks has a very different emphasis. For many, this provokes a negative reaction. In fact we would argue that classical networking approaches tend to undermine rather than support the value of social networks.

• Forwarding Is the New Networking
  
  Michael Schrage recently wrote a post on this site about the importance of forwarding information as a way to enhance network relationships. Forwarding is the new networking. OK, it's not really the new networking, since it's been going on for more than a decade now. He's right about this, although the title — "The Disadvantage of Twitter and Facebook" — is misleading (and inaccurate, since people retweet things all the time — but sadly, editors know that anything with Facebook and Twitter in the title gets a lot of page views and retweets). The fact that

• New Technology Supporting Informal Learning
  
  This work, in turn, is suggesting and supporting the model of learning described in the first section, that of a course network supporting and informing an ever-shifting set of course episodes. Peters, 2006) In part, our best response to the variability and complexity of the subject matter along with the changing nature of the learner is to design systems that are decentralized, to push learning decisions down the hierarchy or out to the edges of the network. (Wiley Abstract We often talk about games, simulations and other events in learning, but these technologies support only episodic learning.

• How to Make Your Network Work for You
  
  Many people turn to networking when they're looking for a job, but the best time to build your network is before you need something; and the best time to keep that network strong is always. To reap the benefits of networking when you need them, you must know how to make your network work for you, and how you can work for your network. The But what is the best way to do that?

• Information (sensemaking) tools are pathetic
  
  In spite of dramatic changes in information creation, sharing, dissemination, and validation, tools don’t yet exist to help provide images and patterns of what information means. Fragmented information means that the act of coherence making now rests with individuals, not with linear (or centralized) structures like newspapers, books, and courses. Innovation has been limited Visual browsers such as KartOO help a bit with information. FriendFeed helps with tracking people.

• Sense-making with PKM
  
  We constantly go through a process of looking at bits of information and trying to make sense of them by adding to our existing knowledge or testing out new patterns in our sense-making efforts.

• Information Radar
  
  You need information radar that continuously scans for new, quality information that you should be aware of. And certainly, you have to be able to quickly commit it to your metamemory. Information Addiction Let me start this topic with a word of caution. When you find new nuggets of information, you get a chemical reaction in your brain much like an opium hit. For many of the roles and projects you will be involved in, part of what you need to be able to do is to put yourself in a continuous learning mode. Most of you reading this are infovores .

• How to Cultivate a Peer Coaching Network
  
  Assuming you've got some talent and the requisite passion, let's look at your coaching network and see what we can do to upgrade it. Drawing on decades of experience in coaching and in teaching others how to coach, in this post I describe what you can do to cultivate your own peer-to-peer coaching network — a small group of trusted people whom you help and who help you by providing encouragement, ideas, a different perspective on obstacles and opportunities, and social pressure to actually do what you know you need to do differently. I'm Who's the better quarterback, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning ?
