      Just for the sake of crazy recursion here is the comment I mad about commenting here: I have begun adding group annotations to this blog post.  Here is the group page for those who might want to join our Diigo group and comment along with us: https://groups.diigo.com/group/ccourses I think annotating this way is superior to commenting.  I suppose it is commenting, but carefully targeted to responding to a specific sentence or as fine-grained as the choice of a word.  Downside? While it is a public group it does call for an investment in learning how to annotate with Diigo.  My experience is that that investment pays back royally. Positive and negative?  It is messy, especially when you get tons of annotstors in the group. I love the annotated link tool that allows you to send a cached link to anyone to view even if they are not a Diigo user: https://diigo.com/04j3l2. I love how you can scrape all the comments and highlights out and then repurpose them.  It would be so much fun to try a project where each of us would do group annotations, turn them into a blog post and then create a zine or storify or use WP Anthologize to create an epub with all the posts and then commentary at the end. Ok, sorry Maha.  This has become some sort of recursive monster of a comment about comments within a comment. With no real comments about what you wrote in your comments box.  Technically, I think this might be a Klein bottle or s moebius comment.

      I never bought into this guilt free deal.  Shame free, but I think guilt might also be a byproduct of not reciprocating.  It is one's conscience at work.  I feel guilty that my papers are not marking themselves.  I feel guilty that my markings are si imperfect and often futile.  I feel that guilty is like friction: you had better have some if you want navigate a twisty track with others.

    • Howard Rheingold
      Howard Rheingold on 24 Sep 14
       
      The why for me is to introduce open, connected learning -- the infrastructure, the methods, the culture -- to more educators. To model, support, and communicate with them. With the hope that they will enlist, educate, and support others. I do buy into the guilt-free deal. Why should learning and communication always be painful? Why not do what you feel like doing once in a while.

      I think I now find it easier than f2f too... That probably requires elaboration, though :) as I know it's not intuitive. I wonder if it is a phase everyone goes through to finally reach that comfort, or if it is just something some people are more disposed to enjoy/be comfortable with, while others not (like intro/extroversion)
    • anonymous

      with an online comment/post, there is no interruption, no direct contact to 'see' how others take what you say or do, and this can make it easier- or at least appear 'safer' on a personal front - esp. considering the teens Mimi was talking about... but, there is also a sense of permanence when people write and put something out there, whereas in f2f, what you say is gone in that moment. When something is written, people (potentially anyone) can come back to it, and this can be perceived as a threatening sort of exposure, perhaps even the person writing it might not want to have to see it again... so it is both easier and harder at the same time for different reasons for different people.
  • Despite the encouragement of local mentors, they didn’t see themselves are part of that world and ready to contribute, at least not yet.

      How do we decide who's enthusiastic? What is being Net Savvy? The difference between introversion, extraversion and the level of ease a person finds in company of others for whatever reason.

      I'll graciously accept your kindness, both of you /curtsy (a WoW emote, if you're wondering) :) But seriously, I've had managers and even senior mangers who would sit very quietly, apparently (stress on apparently) reluctant to contribute to a conversation/discussion in a training situation. I used to catch myself making assumptions as to why (won't go into that here, too long) then see them fully engaged in an exercise where they had to sit on the floor and use Lego pieces. When I tried different approaches they did join A conversation, not necessarily mine, not necessarily with me watching, but they learned and contributed to the learning. hmmm now I'll start editing myself /lol so better stop and hit post. .

      A good reminder that everyone has their own thresholds for navigating the flow in a "space" like #ccourses, and that even the most savvy will miss a whole lot of the interactions. That's OK.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 26 Sep 14
       
      This also raises one of the essential questions of connected learning:  what do we attend to and how?  We have to have a basis for filtering (another name for attending).  Some of these filters are very fine and designed to have potable water as their product, but most are very porous screens designed to get the big rocks out so that we can build meaning with them.  And the ability to switch out filters should be one of the hallmarks of a capable person in digital systems.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 26 Sep 14
       
      Thresholds were originally a barrier to the grain escaping from the threshing room floor and out the door.  It was intended to prevent waste.  We don't have the same kind of scarcity in a connected space.  We can't be concerned about "waste".  Instead we have to be obsessed with making sure that we have the best grain in the mill so that we can have the best flour.  Maybe we need one out of a hundred of the grains in order to have the very best flour.  You don't get that with a threshhold.  You get it by finding a way to sort and winnow the best from the rest and not just the wheat from the chaff.

  • In many ways these different forms of participation fit into what Internet product people might call an > engagement funnel where newcomers and the less net savvy like me march steadily from awareness to engagement to becoming active contributors and content generators.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 26 Sep 14
       
      Yes, and we need to value all levels of the participation, too. Us loudies need to make sure we are inviting, not shouting so loud that others feel they can't contribute, or feel guilty about not contributing. Now that I think of it, my own appeal for more facilitators to get involved in the social media spaces of CCourses runs into conflict with that very statement. Dang it.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 26 Sep 14
       
      No, I think it can be reconciled,Kevin. If other step up, you can step back or shout in a different direction or encourage and cajole in different spaces. Or just chill and observe and report back.

      I also don't see a conflict but I do think the question of what the right invitations are is crucial. Having the "loudies" (lol) to keep modeling high engagement is essential and I at least have appreciated the individual pokes and invitations from this same core group.

      I never thought of myself as a loudie, and am on the introvert-side of the continuum for sure, but the folks at #clmooc taught me that exponential things happen when you jump in.  Thise who are "too" quiet may not know what they are missing.

  • This heterogeneity can feel like chaos and collision of competing styles and expectations, but I also see it as a site of productive tension that is characteristic of connected learning. Connected learning is predicated on bringing together three spheres of learning that are most commonly disconnected in our lives: peer sociability, personal interests/affinity, and opportunities for recognition. In kids’ lives these are friends, interest-based activities, and school. In connected courses, this is the reciprocity and fun in the social stream, our personal interests and expertise, and institutional status/reputation.

      Simon Ensor's Clavier Project simplifies this to providing an interesting space so that interesting people can do interesting 'things'.  I admire the abstraction here and would love to see the practice in the previous paragraph.  Phonar/clmooc/ds106/diy.org/kqed's do now/Paul Allison's Youth Voices. This is where this theory tears into the road and the rubber either stays on the tire or you get new tires.
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
      Maha Abdelmoneim on 26 Sep 14
       
      I am not sure how are they disconnected? I see them as intersecting. Take the example of someone playing a team sport that they love. All spheres are represented and interconnected almost merging together. School and work can be sketchy where, depending on teachers,managers, colleagues, available choices etc, some spheres become larger or smaller and affect the balance of the picture.
    • mitomimi
      mitomimi on 26 Sep 14
       
      Maha that must mean you are a connected learner :). Sadly I feel a lot of kids are "learning" just for the grade and they don't see it as part of what they are interested in or what they are socially connected to.

      Yeah, what is more interesting is the amount of UNHASHTAGGED tweeting between us (Simon, Kevin, Terry, Susan) as well as other stuff where i stop using the #ccourses tag... I sometimes do it on purpose to reduce my noise; other times to just squeeze a few extra chars in, and sometimes for semi-privacy. Until recently, Alan and Mariana were top tweeters, too. Tho i find the majority of their tweeting "supportive" as in, helping others, which i love about them both, whether it is official or unofficial

      One of those filters is the folk and all manner of them, expert and otherwise.  The lived experience of the folk is one of the most profound filters we have.  Books are another.  The idea of ideas is another.  Metaphor and figurative language in general are others.  I think the notion of love is one of the most profound filters there is.

      My team had a motto back in the early days of Internet studies: "The best search engine is a well-informed friend." I am probably defaulting to this as my filter strategy. Not sure if this is the right one given the opportunity for new encounters on ccourses though.

      I wish there was more conscious method to the madness... It's not that I don't have any systematic process, but I really rely on having mental space for pattern recognition to happen over time and that's why I think I'm challenged by the pace of ccourses. I do like the metaphor of filtering that you're bringing to this. I find the thought that good filters might exist to be comforting. But I don't have them! I tend to rely on immersion more than filtering as a method I guess. Which is anthropological... but at some point, yes, one does need to make some choices!

I fell in love with Mimi reading this post and I want to immerse myself in her work and anything she writes!!!

      I love what Tania Sheko has done: put together her annotations into a blogpost. I understand that not all people can blog as often and not all feel comfy with unfinished thoughts being out in the open. It's a risk, and i regret it sometimes. But i think there is a middle way for people like Mimi who can blog such awesomeness but feel they cannot do it as frequently. One really useful way of blogging is to curate what you've been reading. I do it sometimes to help me organize my thoughts, and also to let people know i appreciate their work. Mimi's post we are annotating here did so much of that for me and did not feel long at al actually. It was v engaging and full and rich.

      Yes, you are missing something.  I take solace in the disturbing fact that almost every stream of infor mation you might have received was only so much noise.  It is only when you drink it in that it becomes signal.  Your signal and your meaning. The faith we need is that our system of connections is robust enough to be trusted.  So...the system of connections both digital and actual is what is 'holy'.  It is what we do to honor that web and remake that web that is our greatest task.  Connecting is a social craft.  It is time we started honoring it as such.

      Interesting choice of words--propagate.  There are lots of ways to propagate.  And like the biological world some of them are a real pain in the ass.  Take the pawpaw tree. Please.  In order to fruit (seed propagate) it has to have a very specific carrion fly to get into its flower (as I recall anyway, I am not a botanist, YMMV).  If it doesn't, then no fruit.  Luckily the tree also propagates rhizomatically.  So...in learning terms we need to be prepared for difficult propagation and easy propagation.  And these vary wildly from discipline to discipline.

I read this book over and over to my children growing up.  I want Chapter Seven to be read aloud to me as I die.

      Yes, in teaching I yearn for these moments where the artifice fades away, the planning drops off, the dross of the past is slagged off and a new presence is born.  We become the pipers at the gates of dawn if only for a few moments and the seeming chaos of improvisation, of taking our lead from the pipedreams in the ayre, becomes impossibly logical, a transcendent logic.  And no wonder we are called 'touched' because we damned well are.  And the world in these times makes abject sense, abject in the sense that wonder and awe always cast off sense.

    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 28 Sep 14
       
      If you love words, you'll love 'resonate'--I think it is directly analogous to the word recursion. Where recursion is tied to vision, resonation is tied to the ear.  It is not an old word at all according to the OED.  it is a science word. Many disciplines use it. To re-sound, to be a re-sounding board, to echo back and forth.  It is like the empathy of mirror neurons.  It is memory and the experience of shared discipline and questions and ranging out into the world.  We are all looking for someone's lost child.  We have all found Pan at the Gates of Dawn.  Hence the resonating chord stretched between us and only felt as it vibrates, akin.

Is that perhaps lowering the prison walls a bit too much?  None of us is free.  We are all tied to each other.  If one goes down, the rest of us will be pulled down the mountain. Do I really believe that as more than a damned abstraction?  Sometimes.  At the best of times.  All the time? I just gotta keep working that garden.

      Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
  • So. Connections.

      'round here they are called 'peckerwoods' with some other connotations when used to describe a particularly bullying backwoods igmo (ignorant moron).

      So kind.   Why is  chess such an affinity drug? Because We  war together  against the  game.

      I wish Diigo made it a little easier to figure out how to add to someone else's annotations in public space ... or is it just me?
