EdTechTalk#34 - George Siemens and Stephen Downes - On Knowledge
As Jeff said in the intro, some weeks we talk about technology, some times we do interviews and sometimes we talk philosophy of education. Today it was the latter. Stephen Downes and George Siemens came by for a 90 minute debate on some of the core issues of our field. Is knowledge objective or subjective? What does this mean for education? The starting point for the show was an article that Stephen wrote at the end of last year.










Transcript of Stephen's Summary
At the end of the discussion, both George and Stephen summarise their points of view very nicely. I actually typed out Stephen's summary to help my understand it more fully. It is available here.
