Resounding Silence - Digital Writing Month - 1 views

  • It’s a bit more dangerous…writing like this.
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
       
      Interesting. This is the reaction that I get from everyone I know.  Is this the norm? to me it's the opposite. even as a child I preferred to talk, to say what I wanted aloud than to write.
  • You can hear the hesitation… You can hear the doubt…. You can the frustration…

      I think there's a difference between recording and speaking live to an audience, at least I discovered that there is to me when I created my first public video. The biggest difference for me is the feedback.

HybridPod 007 - Collaboration Transcript - 3 views

  • I try to impose a sort of sensible order on things that may be inherently spontaneous
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
       
      I am testing this post. I think this is OK. Everyone is different in what they need to work in the world. Learn different ways of making a cake is one thing and thinking that there is only one right way is another.

  • media
  • ONLY THREE PERCENT OF TEENS REPORT CREATING THINGS WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY.

      how is this different than the case for any other types of media? Why should it be any different?
  • putting tools of making and creating into the hands of students. We need to empower agency.
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
       
      Agree. I think this is important because it opens up a multitude of new choices of who and what they want to be and how they want to learn and then contribute.

      does being a creator of something imply "passivity" as a consumer? Life is full of areas of creation and production that others consume. Where there is a creator there is usually a consumer.
  • including targeted advertising based on technology habits)

      I agree that they need to learn how to be discerning and critical of all kinds of information they receive. They should learn to be selective and understand the agendas. How can becoming a creator protect one from bad or agenda laden information? 
  • Do you consume? Or do you create?
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
       
      both. there wouldn't be a need for anyone to create anything if there was no one to consume, except of course if it's something for the creator herself/himself. I think :) then the same person is both creator and consumer.
