John Seely Brown - Global one room schoolhouse

John Seely Brown is a visionary who can lead us beyond the known to think deeply about new ideas and possibilities for learning.

This video is animated highlights from his keynote address at the 2012 Digital Media and Learning Conference at University of California recently.  JSB speaks of the value of creating context in addition to content, the value of blogging and of networks of learners in creating a place of safety and permission for learning.  He says 'If you don't feel comfortable tinkering, you are going to feel a great sense of anxiety'.
