I enjoyed Stephen Downes' video. I got a little lost when he started with all the "techno lingo" and I really became aware of my digital immigrant status. I was, however, able to understand some of the words he used and I was proud of myself for gaining that knowledge.
I found the topic on narrowing the participation gap very interesting. When a person learns more and becomes engaged with a particular community, the gap that once separated them is narrowed. If I understood Mr. Downes correctly, a new neural state is acquired because a higher level of learning has been activated and a new network of neural connections have been formed in the mind. This is good stuff!
