Brief bio for introductions
What I'm Up To
Speaking, writing, promoting, explaining, and demonstrating informal learning, loosely-coupled organizational ecologies, ways to harness collective intelligence, and learnscapes (platforms for learning). I'm the Johnny Appleseed of informal learning. I believe in sharing; take what you find. Seeking a sponsor for developing a meta-view of what's transpiring at the nexus of learning, cognitive science, and business.
