1) New approaches to learning focus on dealing with change, uncertainty, and learning from a variety of sources rather than just teachers. This involves lifelong learning through formal and informal means. 2) Effective teaching requires collaboration, networking within and outside of schools, and continuous learning through daily practice. Teachers must become "learning professionals." 3) Open practices that facilitate networked learning involve creating open networks of practice to collaboratively address real educational problems through open innovation. This helps transform organizational culture and leadership to better support informal learning networks.

- 4. New Learning Learning to learn • Dealing with change and uncertainty – There are no ‘true’ answers • Teachers are no longer the main/only source of information – Participate in (professional) communities & networks of practice • Focus on how to handle information, validate & interpret, – Learn to produce, create & innovate • Prepare students for lifelong (professional) learning – combine informal and formal learning. – Help students build professional networks and join communities

- 14. • Networks provide a platform to meet ‘peers’ • Networks combine supply & demand • Networks are interactive and develop over time • Networks are responsive spontaneous and ad hoc • Networks are fluid and live in the moment • Networks cut through hierarchies • Networks are boundless • Networks are open • Networks are self-governed Networked Learning in Open Practices “Papa allows me to network with you.. Interested?”
- 15. • Networks are about something • Networks make knowledge flow • Networks share experiences and expertise • Networks provide easy access to a variety of sources • Networks combine explicit with tact knowledge • Networks develop learning friendships and communities Networked Learning in Open Practices
