“The current search for new educationalfunnels must be reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational webs which heighten the opportunity for each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning, sharing and caring.”
“A good education system should havethree purposes: it should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and finally furnish all who want to present an issue to thepublic with the opportunity to make their challenge known.”

How to become an expert?• By having access to the tacit knowledge of experts. (Hakkarainen 2002)• Expertises develops rather by participating in an expert community rather than by consuming information. (Brown, Duguid, & Collins,1987, Hakkarainen 2002);• We need people who are committed to grow experts• We need sustainability and system.
Where do we have a chance to participate in an expert community?
In good schoolsWith good teachers and peer-students In good workplaces With good bosses and colleagues
