Yes, we do have access to power (though I prefer the more neutral term force) when we access Web 2.0 tools and MOOCs and build our own PLNs; but no, we are not yet free from the centers of power that have dominated us for ages. And those centers are not likely to give up their power in favor of us exerting force. We are in a transition, perhaps a long transition, and the outcome is not certain. Still, I have real hopes in the examples of Mitra and Freire and others, and blogs such as this one, that suggests the freed force of millions will win out over the focused power of the few.
