Ten aspects of paradigm shift1. Pedagogy:

Didactic --> constructivist and conversational

2. Modeling: Do as I say --> AND as I do

3. Sharing: Copyrighted -->

creative commons4. Trepidation:

Will they find out? --> ok to say I don’t know

5. Literacy: Print literacy --> multiliteracies

6. Heuristics:Client server -->peer to peer

7. Transfer: Informal technology is F.U.N. -->

applied to professional practice

8. Directionality:Push --> pull

9. Ownership:Proprietary --> open source

10. Classification: Taxonomies --> folksonomies

Here, I first suggested multiple aspects of paradigm shift required http://www.homestead.com/prosites-vstevens/files/efi/papers/2007alexandria/web20arabia.htm


Paradigm Shift Many aspects:

2 especially relevant ones Construction of Knowledge

Algorithmic vs connectivist

Search and retrieval Folksonomies vs taxonomies
