Hyper-connected learning - using Diigo to share reflections on a post reflecting on ano... - 0 views

  •  I was reading and getting excited by what I was reading, highlighting what spoke to me, and annotating my thoughts in Diigo – to myself! D’oh! How absurd was this scenario? I was part of Connected Courses, reading the same things as the very large cohort – why wasn’t I annotating to the group?
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      I think we've all had those moments of "how can I make this experience better" as we move towards a more connected, collaborative stance.
  • I admit that I try to engage in too many things on too many platforms at the same time, and recently I’m feeling the loss of a network of people I connect with in a deep way.

A MOOC Runs Amok: Update | Open Assembly Blog - 0 views

  • customize
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      Customize .... sure ... but only if you do it within the bounds of the course, right? What happens if students create their own parallel learning space?
  • Those of us committed to open education would argue that such a mission can only be accomplished if education, pedagogy, courses, content, data, etc., are actually and truly “open.”
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      Yep.
  • many reacted with anger instead of engaging in reflection about the fact that their behavior and emotions in the course’s online forum were being tracked by Coursera
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      They were angry at the professor? not Coursera? Are we raising kids who don't question anything? I like how the prof was pushing the envelope here. Even with controversy, I bet the students learned more about data mining then if they had read about it in a textbook.

      Riffing is a good way to explain it. I "listen" to what he has been doing, move into it and then try to expand that harmony outside of it. Then, he seems to do the same. Here, Terry moves it all in another direction, so interestingly.

    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      This seems to be the crux of the remix concept, right? As we work with other media, wrangle it into something new, we get closer to the source of inspiration. We're removing some of the barriers between reader/writer, producer/consumer ... in a good way (in my opinion).

    • Terry Elliott
       
      That brick metaphor is cock-eyed.  The problem being that we assume it has to be a brick.  It is this straightedged linear hierarchical nonsense that is the bane of modern architecture.  It is the Frank Geary/ Frank "Loud" Wright brand.  I ain't buyin' it.  In fact most of the things of the world don't require anywhere near the amount of topdown brick-headed, lego instructive bs than we think.

      Where I live education is a business inspired by desparate dreams and harnessed by professional despots both for-profit and not for profit.  I will sell you a dream not your own.  I am little George against that dragon, Smaug.  And not the Benedict Cumberbatch voiced dragon either.

      Connected in our heads, in the connections we share with other folks heads, by the universal experience of power and lust and empathy and fear and joy and oblivion.  I know how you connect because I do so in much the same way.  I recognize you in me and me in you.  Self same same self, mirrored and beaming out of that glass like the blooming idiots that we are.

    • Terry Elliott
       
      The map is the brick.  The map and the brick as dominant metaphors is the problem.  They should serve us,not master us.  Expertism is rampant and everything I have ever learned well has been when they have served my curvilinear, my randomized, my self-serving chaotic self, not vice the versa.  Lest we forget, we have changed the temperature of the oceans by building with bricks and maps.

K-Log: #CCourses: Thinking Like the Web - 3 views

  • There's a lot of information offered by the course, but we don't have to cover all of them during these two weeks.
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      "Time" becomes different when you are in an open online space. While we might put time constraints around ideas (this Make Cycle, this Learning Cycle), a true open learning space would allow entry and exit, and re-entry, at any point in time. This doesn't always jive with university criteria (finish this during this semester or you get an incomplete!)
  • sketch

      This is so important -- that we are not writing into the wind ... that others are out there, connecting and sharing and asking questions, and pushing us to ask questions, too. When that part of a cMOOC fails, the entire endeavor is pointless. I see a course like CCourses as a place to launch from as much as dive into.

Abbott government to overhaul crowded curriculum - 1 views

  • Overcrowding in the curriculum was the main issue of concern raised by principals, teachers and parents during the review conducted by education consultant Kevin Donnelly and academic Ken Wiltshire.
  • The reviewers said they were not saying there was no place for inquiry-based learning but that caution should be exercised to ensure it did not become the prevailing orthodoxy.
    • Tania Sheko
       
      What does that actually mean? Inquiry learning should be exercised with caution? "There will be no inquiry in mathematics!"
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Well...sounds pretty much like the institutional behavior I see here in the states. The structure determines and in this case the hierarchy trumps the commonest of sense. Sounds very bad for learners.

Unconference & Backchannels as Sidorkin's Third DiscourseReflecting Allowed | Reflectin... - 3 views

  • backchannel conversations with people via social media; and unconferences
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      In many ways, this is the value of the open education movement -- the chance to interact without direct instruction from the "talking head" in the classroom. It's a dip into the unknown, though, and requires a certain social media/reading skills -- what to ignore and what to pay attention to, and how does it all connect to the learning and discovery

School Design: Every School Is A Think Tank - 1 views

  • Every School Is A Think Tank
    • Terry Elliott
       
      When I first clicked I thought, "Yes, if only it was true."  Then I started having second thoughts as I read.
  • Every school, by design, opens it doors
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Schools are compulsory for the poor. Not so much for the rich. A school by design is a lot of other things as well most of which has little to do with opening doors so much as shutting them and sorting the rest into where they need to go.
  • As children solve problems in an authentic and sustainable way–this particular problem and this particular family in this particular context in this particular community–the school crystallizes into something else.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Schools could become like this: http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2014/12/covering-miamis-rising-seas-sensors-public-data-politics/ But I don't think this zombie from the past can be reborn, do you?  There are issues and problems and ideas that schools in general will not tackle, many of them they cannot tackle.  For example, how can schools become think tanks for keeping students in rural communities?

      At Thomas Merton's Grave BY SPENCER REECE We can never be with loss too long. Behind the warped door that sticks, the wood thrush calls to the monks, pausing upon the stone crucifix, singing: "I am marvelous alone!" Thrash, thrash goes the hayfield: rows of marrow and bone undone. The horizon's flashing fastens tight, sealing the blue hills with vermilion. Moss dyes a squirrel's skull green. The cemetery expands its borders- little milky crosses grow like teeth. How kind time is, altering space so nothing stays wrong; and light, more new light, always arrives.

  • How do you live after death?
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

  • This was all a nightmare. 
    • Terry Elliott
       
      The darkness drops again; but now I know    That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

      One, two! One, two! And through and through       The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head       He went galumphing back.

      Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn, Apple seed and apple thorn; Wire, briar, limber lock, Three geese in a flock. One flew east, And one flew west, And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
