Like most people I use the phrase, “back to school.” I mean back to learning in school, but don’t say it that way. And in reality, until we shake ourselves out of the paradigm we live, we will continue to use the language of the past and act accordingly. What do we need to learn to talk and act for learning? Here are my reflections written while I was participating in a live blogging session of John Seely Brown’s keynote, Re-Imaging Dewey for the 21st Century: Learning in/for the Digital Age, from Alberta, Canada’s Banff Centre.

Thank you to “two Texas tech chicks,” Helen and Anna for live blogging with CoverItLive today. They were covering John Seely Brown’s keynote from the Emerge 2010: One-to-One Laptop Learning Summit. More on Alberta’s Emerge Laptop Learning Project can be found here.  John Seely Brown’s talk covered concepts similar to those he discusses in the video below and in a PDF of an earlier presentation, which can be found here.

More on the Homo Ludens reference can be found here. Not sure if JSB intended the connection, but it seems plausible.

P.S. I learned of this event minutes before it began. I live 2,667 miles from the Banff Centre, but techchick94 is in my Twitter community, and I noticed this tweet from her.
