New Learning
Learning to learn
• Dealing with change and uncertainty
– There are no ‘true’ answers
• Teachers are no longer the main/only source of information
– Participate in (professional) communities & networks of practice
• Focus on how to handle information, validate & interpret,
– Learn to produce, create & innovate
• Prepare students for lifelong (professional) learning
– combine informal and formal learning.
– Help students build professional networks and join communities

Towards Open Practices
Open Practices: HEYY & Seats2Meet
Open Practices: The Crowd
• Networks provide a platform to meet
‘peers’
• Networks combine supply & demand
• Networks are interactive and develop
over time
• Networks are responsive spontaneous
and ad hoc
• Networks are fluid and live in the
moment
• Networks cut through hierarchies
• Networks are boundless
• Networks are open
• Networks are self-governed
Networked Learning in Open Practices
“Papa allows me to network with you..
Interested?”
• Networks are about something
• Networks make knowledge flow
• Networks share experiences and
expertise
• Networks provide easy access to a
variety of sources
• Networks combine explicit with tact
knowledge
• Networks develop learning
friendships and communities
Networked Learning in Open Practices
Network Challenges
The “dark side” of networking
• Networks come and go
• Networks are personal
• Networks are invisible
• Networks are informal
“Psst interest in sharing an idea or two?”
Known ‘wicked problems’
• Individual accountability
• Centralized management and control
• Small networks
• Localized
• Teachers have a limited free agenda
• Other teachers are mostly ‘invisible’
• Closed working environments
