We're living in a sound-byte society, where the "elevator speech" is intended to convey complex ideas in 30 seconds or less to busy leaders. Complex problems require deep and on-going learning and thinking and can't easily be summed up in short phrases, until after the problem has been solved. In my own mind, collecting and organizing all that we know about a problem and potential solutions is a first need for Internet based problem solving. The second is enlarging the number of people who use this information in their own learning and innovation. Equally important are people who act as facilitators and intermediaries to help people find and make sense of the information on-line. I'm trying to do all of this in the Tutor/Mentor Connection, with limited (scarce) resources. Your articles continue to provide me with ideas that support why I'm doing what I do, and how I might do it better. Thanks. George, I think this is really important.
