In the introduction to my thesis with the working title “Navigating Distributed Knowledge with the use of Web Tools” I wrote:“A major change in education has been the emergence of a distributed knowledge and the use of Internet in teaching practices. Humans have throughout history used tools to increase our understanding of the world. Social networks have always been part of our learning, but can be amplified by the tools we have available.” |
Without the right tool, many tasks are difficult or impossible. One tool is not suited for all purposes, but a useful tool can inspire people to use it in different ways and better tools for specific jobs will constantly be developed. |
