The Blog Herald: The Two Webs — Information or Relationships?

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 6:15 am

Relational Information?

We’re living in two Internets. It looks much like the companies we find in the world of brick and mortar. One is about places, information, and data. It’s the buildings in which people work. The other is about people, relationships, and conversation. It’s the people who work in those buildings. One is a structure. The other is social.

    Hi Liz, here’s the comment I posted at the Blog Herald.

    Vygotsky is one of the people who revolutionized education because he claimed learning is social. Since then many prominent educational researchers have found this to be true. Learners could understand and retain information more when ideas and information were discussed with others. Most importantly, educators began to see that little learning took place when a teacher was a “sage on the stage.” Though changes are slow in education, you’ll note they are taking place. My thought is that the internet needs both good information and the exchage of ideas surrounding that information. Thanks for such a thoughtful post on this.

    Hi Robyn,
    Thank you. You have opened the door for a great discussion of the reasons why we need to step down from the podium and do our best not to go back up. From “sage on the stage,” to “guide on the side,” we used to say. :)

    Thank you for the history and the research. :)

    Hi Liz, Robyn

    Read your comment on The Herald too Robyn and I agree, but would like to add that it also counts in retail - where we ’specialise’ in. (Posted my thoughts on this on the Herald post too).

    It’s finding the right mix in info and conversation that is the way forward IMHO in any business that wants to grow in this modern and fast-paced time: making time for customers ;-)
