            <description><![CDATA[<p>This blog is an introduciton to who am I am, and why I am here at CGU. My name is Chris Liapis, I am currently a second semester PhD student studying IS&amp;T. I have a masters degree in computer science and by nature tend to be somewhat of a&nbsp;technical person.&nbsp;I am very intereted in strengthening my skills in research as I hope to continue through my&nbsp;career as a developer of new technologies.</p><p>In regard to&nbsp;the introductory readings, I&#39;d like to point&nbsp;mention two pieces of literature. Specifically, the John Seely Brown paper and&nbsp;the &#39;Extending the Elgg&#39; paper. I found a correlation to these papers in that they both veer far off&nbsp;from a position based on &#39;theory&#39; and introduce alternative applications or methods in differential learning practices (&quot;Learning to Be&quot;).</p><p>My question posed to the rest of class is, do you&nbsp;believe these intiatives are worth the time and research to experiment with, or is&nbsp;standard classroom learning the way we should continue to learn?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
