The CITD-Madeira Network

Network Principles

• Networks transform learning

• Knowledge is dynamic, not static

6

• Subject disciplines are no longer a relevant
  organizational structure for education

7

• Networks facilitate new alliances among
  education, business and government

8

• Expertise is distributed across the expanse of a
  network

9

• Networks are the basis for the emerging global
  economy. Education must respond by preparing
  people for the world in which they live

10

• Education systems must respond to the impact of
  networks by innovating new curricular and
  instructional approaches for learning

11

• All media are extensions of ourselves-Connected
  Intelligence Networks begin with people, not
  technology
