The Power of Collective Intelligence

This film displays the need for and power of collective intelligence in a society, whether human or non-human. The dynamic evolution of a society results when the efforts of individuals are combined to create 'systems in action'. These systems may reflect a collaboration of efforts that lead toward 'collective good' or 'collective evil'. As collective intelligence, web 2.0, and social wisdom become more mainstream, we must seek to maintain love for one another and keep it an utmost priorirty so that we strive to work towards 'collective good' in the future course of humanity.

Derek,

As educators we must think deeply about what we put in front of the eyes of our students. Images that move by in a second can remain in the mind for a lifetime.

The development of classes will still happen in society, I think. I just will not be caused by access to education. Education will be self-imposed. Some will take, some will leave.

I think Mrs. Morris is on to something here. Give the learners a second or two of something that will last a lifetime. Then there is the old show biz saying, "Always leave 'em wanting more."

What would happen if we took a page from the movie trailer industry? Create short engaging teasers that get the students involved and wanting to know more seems like a natural for technolgy.

I always believed that just because some one has a degree doesn’t mean he/she has real education.
