Bricolage

• There seems to me to be a continuum that we follow when we learn through on-line learning.

The first step is awareness. Knowing what is available. This seems to me a much bigger task on-line than in the traditional world.

The next step is “how to”. Some of these tools take longer to learn than others. Just the technical use.

Next comes when to. When to use a blog, when to use tags, when to use a wiki, when to use whatever Ning and Netvibes are.

All of these things have to precede use of the tools. And I suspect that there are some other precursors, too. Plain English writing, citation, judgement on content validity ….

The list goes on.
