Performance -- the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery

Simulation -- the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real world processes
- I think about what Nick did in 2nd Life, what many of the learning games designers are doing, but also what I'm doing as I "play" with my friends on http://www.twitter.com to see what the tool might do. So for me, simulation and play often merge. Hm, also performance.

Distributed Cognition -- the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities
Collective Intelligence -- the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal
Judgment -- the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources
Transmedia Navigation -- the ability to follow the flow of stories and information across multiple modalities
Networking -- the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information

I also see these as another way of expressing much of what I've come to describe as the 8 competencies of online facilitation (you can see variations on the slide deck here).What I really notice is that we have to redefine facilitation, as Derek has intimated, as an act of participation of many, not just "the facilitator," when we are in a networked situation.
