Networked Learner: Rights? Responsibilities?
2009

Curious how to keep learning on the web? Wondering the right ways to act/react to others around you on the web? I read this great and relevant post today on Tame The Web about your rights and responsibilities as a networked learner which originated in a post at The Blue Skunk Blog.
As you venture off into the world of continuous learning, you might wonder what rights and responsibilities or etiquette you may have to other fellow learners. What are yours?
Doug Johnson's original list:
1. I have the right not to be social 24/7 - either online or in person.
2. I have the right to time for reflection and responsibility for doing so.
3. I have the right to use only the tools that suit my learning style.
4. I have the right to stop using a tool when it is no longer useful.
5. I have the right to not be on the cutting edge all the time or feel I need to always know all there is to know.
6. I have the right to choose those with whom I learn in my personal learning network and responsibility to learn from those with whom I don’t always agree.
7. I have the right and responsibility to disagree and the responsibility to do it professionally.
8. I have the responsibility to become familiar with a tool before sharing it with others.
9, I have the responsibility to share my knowledge with others in my network.
10. I have the right and responsibility to not let online activities keep me from my friends, my family, my workplace, or my community.”

Steven Abrams' Additions:
1. I have a responsibility to keep up.
2. I have a responsibilty to learn new things.
3. I am responsible for my own learning, I am not a child of my employer.
4. I am responsible to learn when I need to and not to wit until it’s an emergency.
5. I have a responsibility to understand that technology evolves and evolves with my feedback.

Rights & Responsibilities
Great post! I like these little reminders -- going to print it out and put it on my wall!

Thanks for the kudos Shirley! Glad this was helpful to you.
Rights and Responsibilities
Thanks, Amy.
These insightful lists came at the perfect time for me and some of my colleagues; we had just been talking about trying to find the balance.
This has relieved some of my guilt, and at the same time prompted me to do some more learning. Thanks again!
Cool!
Gregory, That is great! Don't feel guilty! Feel empowered!
Thanks!
Thanks Amy! I read those recently but didn't get them printed out to put next to my sign reminding me to breathe. Now I have! I'm especially going to need these reminders over the next couple of weeks...
Awesome!
Neat! I hope you're not feeling too overwhelmed!
Networked Learner's rights and responsibilities
Wow! And to think I just read this yesterday on my Google Reader from Stephen's Lighthouse blog....makes me feel like I was on top of things for once!
It also reminds me that I can take my time learning and embracing new technology. It won't be useful to me unless I am ready for it.
totally!
Have you ever read a book, or started a book, and you didn't like it but came back to it later and loved it? It's the same way with technology.
