      The first time I used blogs in the secondary high school I first taught at it felt like a not only opening up the cages, but also knocking holes in the walls so that no one could ever use them as cages again.  At least for the students who I was working with, I think this was true.  Once they tasted that freedom there was no going back.  The ultimate check valve.
  • Whatever happened to grand narrative?
    • Terry Elliott

      Well...maybe it's all grand narrative all the way down.  For example,  I had a grand day outside.  Frost was expected last night so we had to dig our peanuts and check out the sweet potatoes to see if they were ready to dig (tradition here is to dig them after a frost).  I think we are going to get about a five to one return on the peanuts (yield per pound planted) and God knows on the sweet taters.  That is a grand narrative isn't it.  One of the grandest narratives.  Agriculture.  And it is not one that without its...sad side.  I was introduced to a grander narrative only a short while after we had battened down the garden to save the tomatoes and peppers and flowers from frost.  My wife discovered a corn snake trapped in some bird netting.  Corn snakes are the glory of the constrictors round these parts.  Bright orange with diamonds patterns and black and white bellies.  Astonishing.  If you catch sight of of one in the wild you cannot believe that such a creature could hide from anything.  Too bright.  Too shiny.  Yet...I have seen them slither away and disappear like the Cheshire Cat.   We cut the netting away from him/her.  Took her away from where the chickens might do her in (chickens are notorious snake enemies) and released her.  She immediately serpentined about in a threatening "s" to let us know that she was not to be anthropomorphized. Three feet of grand narrative, millions of years old, with a legacy that lives on in one of the parts of our triune brain.  I was unconsciously sweating the whole time I was cutting her away from the netting with scissors. I could not help it.  That narrative is a potent legacy, not to be thrown off by my rational self that told me over and over that there was no danger.  That is a grand narrative.   So here I relate the narrative with words (pix to follow in a blog post).  Whatever happened to the grand narrative?  Is anyone an island entire unto herself?  Should we not consider the unveilin

      Maps into the future--nothing inherently wrong with that.  The danger is in thinking that any cartographer could draw one for us.  We are not alone in this struggle, but we are still Daniel Boone when it comes to blazing our own trail.  Any other map is the wrong one pulled from the cosmic junk drawer, the Procrustean one that will make us fit.  Now that is a myth that comes true every day.

      I was looking for a reference to the paradoxical phrase "risks may be our safeties in disguise" when I found a post I had written in Blogger in 2001 (http://tellio.blogspot.com/2001/06/my-eyes-are-shot.html).  The takeaway quote is this: "I think John Berryman once said in a sonnet that risks may be our safeties in disguise. I put my hope in that paradox. I put my heart in the safety of change."  So, Enso, the grand narrative is this: [Animated gif of the undrawing of the enso]

      Been watching this issue unfold with FB and the LGBT community, notably drag queens seeking to remain anonymous or who identify their real name as their drag queen moniker. Problem arises from the fear of letting folks decide for themselves and letting the solutions grow out of those choices.  If anything this is the classic case for arguing for the simplest rules possible that arise from living together online.  Whatever they might be.  Instead of having all the exceptions listed in the article why don't we have them arise from being pseudonymous.  And there will be some.  And some of them will be deadly.  Sadly, we cannot know for certain where the 'felicific calculus' will fall.  I put my bets on freedom over policy until I am proven wrong.

      first I had to look up felicific calculus -  method of working out the sum total of pleasure and pain produced by an act, and thus the total value of its consequence.  I can see both sides of the argument, because pseudonyms can obviously used for harm as well as for the more pragmatic reasons.  I agree - let the issues arise from the pseudonyms.

  • but this post is long enough as it is…
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 21 Sep 14
       
      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 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.

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.

      (made a comment and lost a comment) Is this more of our loop conversation that started on twitter? I like Simon's words of "You are just on a longer loop" to Susan. Looping around.
  • I found that the way it appeared to be militated and implemented within institutions wrung out all the joy and potential of that which technology could bring:

      You helped them determine their own freedom.  Determining freedom sounds paradoxical if not downright oxymoronic.

      Determining freedom sounds appalling! Trying to create a fissure or crack in implacable academic space where freedom could emerge?

      This is an example of joyful learning for me: listening to Wendell Berry's poetry in his voice.  This is joy rising up from the ground, not power raining down from above.

  • which is a strange month anyway because aren’t we always connected?

      Yep. If you just connect in October, you are not really connected ...
    • Terry Elliott

      What happens if you do like Doug Belshaw does with his BlackOps month--no overt connection for a month.
  • the moment you open up your classroom and your thoughts to the world, people will have an opinion on it.  And sometimes that opinion hurts.

      I am trying to use some tools for this from Greg McKeon's book Essentialism
  • Being connected to a global PLN had taken the place of the local connections because somehow the exoticism of the global collaboration seemed like it would be more beneficial, yet this is not ture.

      I know this feeling, too. How to balance that reaching out and reaching in so that both have value?
  • Not like this, not in this way.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 Oct 14
       
      There are overt and covert connections.  There are connections we are aware of and ones that are unknown to us.  The hard fact is that we are always and everywhere connected.  That means we live in the world and the world lives in us--for good or ill.
  • thus we look incredible online.
