New Knowlege...Collectively

This snippet came from Will Richardson's blog.

From "Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace" (600+ page .pdf) comes this passage by Robert Steele in his essay “Creating a Smart Nation:”

"Published knowledge is old knowledge: The art of intelligence in the 21st Century will be less concerned with integrating old knowledge and more concerned with using published knowledge as a path to exactly the right source or sources that can create new knowledege tailored to a new situation, in real time."

So much of interest here:

Of course, the notion of the new intelligence is very compelling. This thread just goes on and on in the lesson reviews and training we all do, but just doesn't show up enough in the classrooms.
Also, the whole 600 pages turn out to be a link to the entire book, available freely as a PDF, and licensed through Creative Commons.

I'm planning for my summer course this year and grazing for new ideas to really challenge the teaching of the inservice teachers. This one will certainly be part of the raw materials.
