I couldn't agree more on the point of Dave Evans that "perhaps we will teach more critical thinking, collaboration, and social skills. Perhaps we will not teach answers, but how to ask the right questions."

IMHO, that connecting you are talking about is really about that indeed and the tools that we are using will stay on top because they help us get to that critical expertise and collective enquiry (not just accessing information) and helping us sharpen our personal and collective capacity to question and learn.

But in most organisations in the field I'm in (global development), progress is still very slow. It's something we want to explore in one of the upcoming issues of the Knowledge Management for Development Journal which we want to dedicate to 'facilitation'...

Thanks for your great inspiration, as ever...
