  • What is rigorous, then, is not process but our curious examination of the (unforeseen, unexpected) results and their effectiveness.
  • Engaged: Meaningful work
  • Critical: We can’t be afraid to critique our own circumstances, our own context.

  • Dynamic
  • Better that we model our passion to know something thoroughly than to merely transmit content or knowledge.
  • Curious: A rigorous curiosity underpins the most fruitful work scholars do.
  • a resolution to the inquiry
  • Derivative
  • attentive and alive, responsive
  • a series of iterative experiments.
  • Cormier suggests rhizomatic education — constructing and negotiating community knowledge through a series of interdependent nodes — as a pedagogical solution within quickly changing fields of information. In other words, by connecting to each other, no matter our expertise or station, knowledge grows.
  • We may provide the content, but this is no different today than scattering LEGOs on a table: what happens next is not up to us
  • from a traditional model of schooling to one more compatible with the realities of the digital landscape. Experimentation, inquiry, and play are both the research tools we must use to create online and hybrid classrooms, and also the methodologies best employed within those classrooms.
  • Testing and canonical content are less vital to the new media landscape than interactivity, play, and relevant application.
  • that students “show up,” be curious, collaborate, and contribute.
  • The digital has reminded us that learning happens unexpectedly, and so should our approach to learning be unexpectant. We must return play to education, to pedagogy, and to all scholarly practice.
  • Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: This book was produced by graduate students in a course with Cathy N. Davidson. The text of the work is itself rigorous, but what we find most intensely rigorous is the way the reader is brought into the book’s ongoing creation through simultaneous publishing on communal platforms like Rap Genius, HASTAC, GitHub, and Google Docs.

    There are too many divergent factors for that to happen. Finland's population is about 5.3 million, while there are more than 300 million residents in the U.S. But even more importantly, the culture around competition is vastly different. There's a distinct distaste for unabashed competition. "You know, one big difference in thinking about education and the whole discourse is that in the U.S. it's based on a belief in competition," Sahlberg said. "In my country, we are in education because we believe in cooperation and sharing. Cooperation is a core starting point for growth."
