6. is an answer to three key shifts as society evolves from the
industrial age of the 20th century and its one-size-fits-all
factory approach to educating youth to a 21st century networked
society. New generation of studentsConnected Learning 7. 3 shifts
1) A shift from education to learning. Education is what
institutions do, learning is what people do. Digital media enable
learning anywhere, anytime; formal learning must also be mobile and
just- in-time. 2) A shift from consumption of information to
participatory learning. Learning happens best when it is rich in
social connections, especially when it is peer-based and organized
around learners interests, enabling them to create as well as
consume information. 3) A shift from institutions to networks. In
the digital age, the fundamental operating and delivery systems are
networks, not institutions such as schools, which are one node of
many on a young persons network of learning opportunities. People
learn across institutions, so an entire learning network must be
supported. 8. The promise of emerging technologies 9. Diane

embracing emerging technologies enthusiastically, it is taking
longer for institutions and policy makers to adopt and implement
them. Institutions and policy makers are not yet fully engaging
with these technologies to understand the usefulness of these
technologies and therefore administrative policies may slow down or
halt adoption. COL 2008, 16 28. Things that are obsolete for the
