As a learner, you need resources to be able to gain knowledge. Resources have been all around us since the begining of life ... Nowadays, we have all the traditional learning ways that have been around for centuries, such as books, television, schools, colleges, etc ...
The, relatively, new resources are the internet resources. It is not something that you do not know about, since you are already online reading this blog!
Blogs is one way of transfering knowledge to others, someone writes about what he knows about, and others read it and sometimes have some coments on it too.
A few days ago I was attending a workshop by a brilliant professor, Prof. Maged Boulos, about the uses of internet in education. Personally, I was astonished by the possibilities that he presented ... Facebook, LinkedIn, Skype, Wikis, YouTube, Second Life, and many others ... You may see one of his presentations titled "Networked Social Media in Learning, Teaching and Research" posted on SlideShare.net.
It is not the availability of information that should be stopping you from learning anymore, it is the WILL TO LEARN that you need to start learning
