E-Learning is my orientation: here's where I begin

I want to begin this blog with the following quotation that sets a particular tone and focus for my inquiry as an instructional designer. This quote has inspired me to be more serious about investigating how social theories, Web 2.0 and technology as a whole have new roles to play in the field of e-learning, my professional field of interest:

"Researchers, educators and instructional designers...view cognition and learning as inherently social processes ... [and] it is critical to explore how social context influences sense making." Goldstein, M., "Does Your Knowledge Affect My Thinking? p.6, 12.19.06

Please, if you wish, I welcome your thoughts.
