About the Book

Although there are several books on the new network science, none have discussed education or content for learning on the Internet until now. Connectivity, the Answer to Ending Ignorance and Separation: Can You Hear Me Yet? proposes that the new network science reveals the natural setting of human learning is a web of nodes and links. The subtitle echoes the book's call for universal mobile connectivity that will include every man, woman, and child in the global community. The hot new network science that explains why we are all separated by about six degrees and why crickets synchronize their evening love songs is directed here by Judy Breck for the first time to education. From the same theories, she describes an entirely new medium of expression platformed in connectivity and now emerging to create compelling new learning assets that are nestling into an online webbed matrix of academic subjects. She argues that standards and grade separation in schools today are network errors and should be abandoned for the natural knowledge context formation arising spontaneously within the Internet. Breck says networks may replace schools altogether and that one of the great boons universal individual connectivity will bring, along with the end of ignorance and separation, is the disappearance of terrorism. Connectivity, she explains, changes everything when we all study on a common virtual ground and when we can all be heard. This book contains parallel discussions of how network connectivity is fundamentally: Diminishing terrorism, Transforming business enterprises, Becoming a new artistic expressive medium, Providing a new and different locus for human knowledge.Connectivity is written for every educator eager to know about networks.

Review :
Judy Breck is an articulate advisor in our community. She envisions that Afghanistan and other countries where schools are in disarray have the opportunity to lead the world in venues of wireless mobility and improving access to knowledge. Arguing for universal connectivity, she reminds us that every Internet point of access is an immediate school ready for a teacher or student to use for learning - anywhere on Earth. We can all be informed and encouraged by Judy's connected and optimistic view of the future. [Breck] argues that networks may replace schools, and that universal connectivity will bring an end to ignorance, serparation, and terrorism, and demonstrates how network connectivity is transforming business enterprises, becoming a new artistic medium, and providing a new locus for human knowledge. Judy Breck's book makes you realize that we're living through a part of history that is happening before our eyes and changing the world in more dramatic ways than even the most far-fetched science fiction tale could predict. Sometimes it's hard to grasp significant change while its happening, and it's shocking to realize that such a historical transformation is currently under foot. Networked communication has the power to cure and heal many of the world's inequities and injustices. The power to hear and be heard is the most important power in the world, and as this capability becomes available to more and more human beings through networks, the possibility for global peace and freedom becomes a new and powerful hope. This book fills your mind with ideas and connections. It offers more food for thought than any book I've read in a long time
