Lessons from Nature: The Organic Learning & Performance Ecosystem – Resources Shared at #EcoCon — from davidkelly.me by David Kelly
From DSC:
I appreciate David’s perspective as he references nature in his presentation — it speaks to living organisms that are changing, adapting, growing, dying, etc. I especially liked his question, “Do you know where the bees are in your ecosystem?” Check out his presentation to find out what he means.
To me, I’ve entitled this blog Learning Ecosystems because the components that help us learn are constantly changing throughout our lifetimes. Those components might be people, tools, processes, sources of information, and the information itself. For example, people who mentor us and help us grow come in and out of our lives at different times — teachers, coaches, pastors, trainers, mentors, supervisors, parents, good friends, etc. are in our lives for a time…and then they’re gone. The people within our social/learning networks change over time. The tools, platforms, and ways of obtaining information also change over time. So change is constant…like a living organism within a greater ecosystem.
