Knowledge or skill

Kevin Gamble on Twitter: "Is "network literacy" knowledge or a skill? #netlit #coopext"
Kevin asks if network literacy is a skill or knowledge - I say both, and I'm not sure you can separate one from the other. If we take that abilities are aptitudes we're born with and skills are learned, then you likely can't have one without the other. Kevin also asked which comes first - which I see as a bit of a "chicken or egg" problem. Should we care? Some people may gain knowledge, without acquiring a particular skill, but it may facilitate gaining the skill when the need arises. As we acquire skills, we gain knowledge from the practice and experience applying them. So, I don't care which comes first, as they almost certainly arise together and in succession in weird and wonderful ways.

How Google Search Dealt With Mobile — Medium
Great, long article by Steven Levy discussing how Google search has evolved over the years to incorporate voice, knowledge graph, Google Now, and more. Also made me look up the word, synecdoche, which I had heard before but wasn't familiar with - a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in - Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).

Collective Intelligence

Taken together, these results provide strong empirical support for the emergence of collective intelligence in online groups, and the conclusion that theory of mind abilities are a significant determinant of group collective intelligence even when, as in many online groups, the group has extremely limited communication channels.
Interesting that the same results are seen in online groups communicating only via text.

"discovery begins with a Technology Trigger, climbs quickly to a Peak of Inflated Expectations, falls into the Trough of Disillusionment, and, as practical uses are found, gradually ascends to the Plateau of Productivity."

Skill and attitude
1 min read
"These two observations allow us to conclude that networking for networked learning is not only a skill to be developed, but also an attitude towards learning to be cultivated. The interviews confirmed that networking revolves around a complex ability of (i) recognizing and identifying the other’s qualities; and, of (ii) making (valuable) associations of these qualities with the learner’s own qualities that could take place when interacting with a contact or even in the contact’s absence. Learners have different levels of proficiency in this skill, but can also differ in the actual application of the skill, due to the attitude with which they approach learning."
