Seth's Blog: Us vs. us | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

 

Online communities are quick to form, but they're just as quick to fade, to become less open and to become less trusting because sometimes we have a cultural orientation toward taking, not giving. We forget to feed the network first, to take care of those we care about.

 

Here's a possible standard: is it open, fair and good for others? If it's not, the community asks that you take your selfish antics somewhere else.

 

Call me naive, but I think it's possible (and likely) that the digital tribes we're forming are going to actually change things for the better.
