    Wanted to add this list of blogs to our Diigo and point out the "random post generator" -- I've been doing regular travels around the CCourse blogosphere because it seems as if commenting is not really happening on any grand scale here.

  • focusing a whole lot on the teacher’s “why” during #ccourses, and by doing that, we might be losing focus of the learner’s “why”

      One of the most glaringly wrong assumptions a teacher can make is to think that just because he or she taught it that the students learned it--even with good assessments and feedback.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 22 Sep 14
       
      Good point: keeping the shift on focus to the learner. In my realm, this is made more difficult by the overburdened Teacher Evaluation process that is directed at the teacher, teaching, not the student, learning. In my opinion ....
  • At least, it should.

      This is the "put the food down where the beasts can get to it" school of learning--free range learning.  But I do think there is and perhaps should be a political agenda in #ccourses, I mean, something's gotta change in hied, right?  Everyone so far seems to be taking a bit out of that bit of pie.

  • People need different degrees of structure
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 21 Sep 14
       
      This is a very fluid undertaking and requires that learners know when they need one or the other or somewhere in between.  I have had to do a lot of this for my students and I was always ready to do it in #clmooc.  Personally, I need to learn to ask for help/scaffolding. 
  • I don’t think I’ve heard enough about their individual (not collective) “why” as facilitators of #ccourses.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 22 Sep 14
       
      I also don't think, other than Howards and sometimes Alan, that the facilitators are all that engaged outside of their hangouts and video feeds. Or am I missing their interactions in various spaces?
  • It’s really important, I think, that if you’re going to provide lots of options: a. That learners are absolutely CLEAR they don’t have to do all of this; and b. That reading through the options is not itself a huge time investment; and c. That skimming through the details of the options is not a huge time investment

      Me too, born in Australia but from Russian and German background - both parents born outside Australia. I've always felt that I am both and neither.

  • our ability to share humor might be a function of how well we know each other
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      Yes, there is the connection between friends who respond to the same humour and share interests, but there is also the shared history that allows common responses. 
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • Then this got me thinking about the difficulty of sharing humor not only across cultures, but online
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      Because, of course, open online environments do not discriminate on the basis of race or anything else.  Humour is such a tricky thing. You can live in the same house for decades and still not get somebody's sense of humour. It's almost a language in itself.
  • And some “i have nooo idea what you’re talking about” things
  • It’s interesting to study the effect of this on how well creative brainstorming works…
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      What do you mean by that, Maha, your point about creative brainstorming?
  • how I never got the refs to Greek mythology
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      Me too, and at Uni I studied literature, and was too busy to catch up on all the reading I needed to get the references. So when my first son proved to be a big reader, I made sure he read a lot of the mythologies - Greek, Roman, Norse, etc. I'm sure that kind of roundedness helps with self confidence. There's so much referencing - how much of our culture is referenced from history!
  • In my PhD research, I ask a chicken-and-egg question about intercultural maturity and critical thinking.
  • empathy
  • is likely to be open-minded, curious, willing to question one’s own views, interested in understanding different world views – all of which mean this person is likely to behave positively in an intercultural learning experience
  • A good critical thinker
  • intercultural
  • exposure to diversity
  • But how to develop these characteristics?
  • If you’re closed minded and not curious, you’re unlikely to seek intercultural exchange
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      Can you change students from being closed minded to open minded? I hope so, because otherwise education is a waste of time. But sometimes I meet teachers who are so closed minded (in terms of trying new ways of teaching) that I give up hope.
    • swatson217
      swatson217 on 08 Oct 14
       
      Can you change teachers fro being close minded to open?
  • So which comes first?
  • But if you have never been with people different from yourself, how do you learn to behave in these situations in such a way that helps you learn from it?
  • and so you keep finding yourself in situations and you take advantages of opportunities to connect openly, and then you reap the benefits of that, which fuels you further?
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      This is such an important question, and one I've been thinking about over the years. Do I give up with certain people and just focus on convincing those who are open? My job as a teacher librarian depends on convincing teachers that it's worth collaborating with me. Otherwise I can't work with students apart from traditional resourcing.
    • swatson217
      swatson217 on 08 Oct 14
       
      yes yes yes
  • how do you get someone into intercultural experiences
  • Is it that you start out as someone who loves openness and connection
  • Same questions could be asked of open/connected learners
  • how do you develop critical thinking needed to develop intercultural maturity without being in an intercultural experience;
  • But how would you “get in” if you don’t already have that attitude?
  • That question plagues me with reference to whether we can actually draw people into open/connected learning
  • Like Laura Gibbs, i’d take curiosity over security any day.
  • A lot of people are monuments/avatars/objects before we decide to engage
  • Someone said her students were shocked when a book author (Howard Rheingold) replied to their tweets. As in, they had not before really thought of him as a real person. Funny.
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      Yes, my students are confused and very surprised that a 'real author' would even consider connecting to them online. Once an author was involved in my students' blog comments, and one student said he would rather not know him as a real person because he wouldn't be able to live up to his 'imagined' persona (my words).
  • is it possible for someone to get interested in open and connected learning, to become a connected educator, without first experiencing the beauty, the potential of that, if they are not originally of open/connecting attitude? Or not digitally literate, even.
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      I still wonder if what I experience as an enjoyable connective experience is unique to me and those who have chosen to participate. Maybe some teachers wouldn't find this kind of thing interesting or enjoyable.
  • How do you draw them in to try? If you give a workshop on it, hands-on, will they come? Will it sound like gibberish and feel overwhelming?
    • Tania Sheko
      Tania Sheko on 07 Oct 14
       
      And how do you sustain that even if the workshop is successful?
    • swatson217
      swatson217 on 08 Oct 14
       
      I struggle with this with my teachers.
  • about how joining an academic conversation midway feels? It’s the same for joining an open online community or finding oneself in a new culture
  • It takes time to figure out where to start, whom to talk to, how to talk, how to engage in culturally acceptable ways, etc.
    • swatson217
      swatson217 on 08 Oct 14
       
      Maha, this is a great question!

  • Even if, today, all they want to grow into is someone whose Moodle gradebook works right.)

      I propose that the words "even if" be a catch phrase every time we enter into a service act.  
  • I wonder how we set expectations for this kind of service. I suspect one answer is that we change from talking about tools we support, to talking about tasks we support within tools.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 31 Mar 15
       
      This is so wise.  Move from nouns to verbs. Valorize the act of serving--the tools will get their due as a matter of course.
  • I think there will also be a new kind of community growing up. My neighbor once told me that he couldn’t fix my riding mower’s starter, but he could show me how to hotwire it with a screwdriver. I think some part of our job will get more “neighborly” like that.
    • Terry Elliott

      In a vibrant community we all have important roles.  Most of us, however, won't get into the history books.  The privileging of the big man or woman in history is one of the most profound blindspots we have in American culture.  We just gotta start casting our eyes around to work with those at arm's length, virtually or actually.

OE. had also árǽran arear (in use down to the 17th c.).     The main senses of rear run parallel with those of the Scandinavian equivalent raise, but the adopted word has been much more extensively employed than the native, and has developed many special senses which are rarely or never expressed by rear. Hence, on the one hand, rear has in many applications been almost or altogether supplanted by raise, a process which is clearly seen in the usage of the Wyclif Bible (see note to raise; in the version of 1611 rear is found only in 1 Esdr. v. 62, while raise is freely employed). On the other hand, it is probable that rear has sometimes, esp. in poetry, been used as a more rhetorical substitute for raise, without independent development of the sense involved. As in the case of raise there is some overlapping of the senses, and occasional uncertainty as to the precise development or meaning of transferred uses.]  I.I To set up on end; to make to stand up.  1. a.I.1.a trans.

F. ingénuité (16th c. in Hatz.-Darm.), It. ingenuità (Florio, 1598), possibly the immediate source. The employment of the word as the abstract n. from ingenious (for ingeniosity or *ingeniety) appears to be confined to Eng. and is connected with the confusion of the two adjs. in the 17th c.: see ingenious II and ingenuous 6.]  I.I Senses connected with ingenuous.  †1.I.1 The condition of being free-born; honourable extraction or station. Obs.     1598 Florio, Ingenuita, freedome or free state, ingenuitie, a liberall, free, or honest nature and condition.    1614 Selden Titles Hon. Pref. C ij, Ingenuitie, not Nobilitie, was designed by the three Names.    1614 Raleigh Hist.

Junius Paint. of Ancients 254 The noble Art‥being forced to seek her bread without any ingenuitie, after the manner of other sordide, mechanike, and mercenarie Arts.    1658 Phillips s.v., Ingenuity is taken for a free condition or state of life. †b.I.1.b The quality that befits a free-born person; high or liberal quality (of education); hence, Liberal education, intellectual culture (cf. II). Obs.     a 1661 Fuller Worthies (1840) II. 214 He intended it for a seminary of religion and ingenuity.    1662 Stillingfl. Orig. Sacr. ii. ii. §1 He [Moses] was brought up in the Court of Ægypt, and‥was skilled in all the learning of the Ægyptians; and these‥ prove the ingenuity of his education. †2.I.2 Nobility of character or disposition; honourableness, highmindedness, generosity. Obs.     1598 [see sense 1].    1603 Florio Montaigne ii. viii. (1632) 215, I should have loved to have stored their mind with ingenuity and liberty.    a 1638 Mede Wks. (1672) i. xxxii. 1
