Group work is nothing new, however being able to share the written word with the entire world is a new thing. I have always been able to have face to face conversations with people I know and who are involved in my institution, but now I can network with a larger world. Managing that is a new skill and a new literacy. I agree that there are some signs of returning to earlier methods of sharing ideas (away from formal authoritative sources and towards crowds). So evaluating the different types of sources available is another major 21st century literacy. Well I think that there is social learning and then there is computer based social learning.

While social learning is not new (think about the way Aristotle taught) it is different than the way most of us learned. Are we just re-discovering a better way?
