      And we learn in those uncomfortable moments, including how to create our own agency with technology. With Zeega, you've pushed the boundaries in many directions, Captain Zeega.

      It's scary at first but once you get used to it, it's easier than F2F in my opinion.

      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)

      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.

      Schema. Or as max Stirner calls them,"wheels in the head".  Wheels in the head are any ideas that the mind cannot give up.  For example, I am not an artist/creator/maker,  I am a consumer.

      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. Are all modes of communications comfortable to everybody and why? On a personal note: I am not comfortable writing at all but I can talk for hours when it comes to f2f :)

      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. .

  • Help! How do I know what to pay attention to?
    • Kevin Hodgson

      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.
    • Maha Abdelmoneim
      Maha Abdelmoneim on 26 Sep 14
       
      @Kevin I don't think there's a conflict. More involvement is not equal to shouting so loud. May be we need to think of being more inviting in more ways?
    • mitomimi
      mitomimi on 26 Sep 14
       
      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.
    • Maha Bali
      Maha Bali on 27 Sep 14
       
      Love this thread, and thank you Maha and Mimi for letting us know that we "loudies" (cute term, will adopt!) are not shouting too loud for you (though we may be too loud for others)
    • swatson217
      swatson217 on 28 Sep 14
       
      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.

      I am big on the constellation metaphor -- the stories that emerge when stars are connected by imagination.

  • 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.

      Dang. She hits a home run with this paragraph!
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 26 Sep 14
       
      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.
    • Maha Bali
      Maha Bali on 27 Sep 14
       
      Maha's and Mimi's responses are a good reminder about how connection is not just about online or tech. It should be obvious but we can sometimes forget that!

      And what is interesting -- most of their tweeting has been making connections together (I think -- no data to back that up. Jamieson?), as Simon and Maha work magic in the social media sphere.
    • Maha Bali
      Maha Bali on 27 Sep 14
       
      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

  • We can see that so far about half our visitors are new, and that the spikes, again come with the live events
  • I hope that we can continue to embrace the abundance and diversity of forms and intensity of engagement while also guiding each other to try something new, to slow down or speed up our default metabolism, or appreciate a new perspective or geekdom.

      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.
    • Maha Bali
      Maha Bali on 27 Sep 14
       
      Well, Mimi, you can add to your list of well-informed friends as you go :) that's how it works for me, a few key people connect me to everything and everyone else, then i'll meet a new person who becomes "key" coz i love what they help me connect to... And so on :)

      This would be a very profound filter to read about. Not what Ito found in her research but how she mucks about it, how her ruminations follow and work.  Her discoveries on how she filters the great steaming compost of her research from start to intial finish. 
    • mitomimi
      mitomimi on 27 Sep 14
       
      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!

      This is all getting me itchy to read about Mimi's work on researching connecting learning for several reasons: 1. I want to know how she researched it when she's not comfortable on twitter (haha) 2. I am interested to know about research methodology 3. I fell in love with Mimi reading this post and I want to immerse myself in her work and anything she writes!!! Strange how seeing Mimi on hangout for a few mins did not give me much insight but this post was like..wow... I can't explain the profound effect it had on me, both for my own reflections but also how it made me feel and think about Mimi.

      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.

    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 26 Sep 14
       
      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.

      I think that praise is due here to Alan,  but I would like to remind you that there is a web of unsung and unheralded and unknown that are yet to be uncovered.  it is our work as facilitators and helpers and participants to tease and ease them onto the dance floor.  God knows they can boogie better than I can if we can just get them onto the floor and teach us how to juke.

      special atmosphere or guardian spirit - had to look this up!  What a cool concept.  I am not sure my blog is due such a sense of wonder...though I do fling the words out into it without much editing, in hopes that some part or piece of a true spirit of words will survive the process.  It really is filled with mostly my gut impulses.

      The images in that chapter - wow. That chubby little baby otter being saved and protected by Pan, while the two who search for him are pulled along by the music they aren't even 100% sure they can hear.  The purposeful forgetting.  The joy in the baby knowing them already, yet still looking for the now-missing Pan. So many of my kids are missing joy.  Do they even know what it is?  Will they ever? When you come to school just for food, is that joy?  How can we teach joy???

      'You hear better than I,' said the Mole sadly. 'I cannot catch the words.' 'Let me try and give you them,' said the Rat softly, his eyes still closed. 'Now it is turning into words again-faint but clear-Lest the awe should dwell-And turn your frolic to fret-You shall look on my power at the helping hour-But then you shall forget! Now the reeds take it up-forget, forget, they sigh, and it dies away in a rustle and a whisper. Then the voice returns- 'Lest limbs be reddened and rent-I spring the trap that is set-As I loose the snare you may glimpse me there-For surely you shall forget! Row nearer, Mole, nearer to the reeds! It is hard to catch, and grows each minute fainter. 'Helper and healer, I cheer-Small waifs in the woodland wet-Strays I find in it, wounds I bind in it-Bidding them all forget! Nearer, Mole, nearer! No, it is no good; the song has died away into reed-talk.' 'But what do the words mean?' asked the wondering Mole. 'That I do not know,' said the Rat simply. 'I passed them on to you as they reached me. Ah! now they return again, and this time full and clear! This time, at last, it is the real, the unmistakable thing, simple-passionate-perfect--'

      I see it as a a rich space where I am responsible for my own learning and knowing.  But I am also responsible for those who are with me.  I worry that I don't get more of a sense of who has skin in the game and who doesn't.  I am trying to use these tools in my own connected courses, I am trying to connect with students here and in those classes.  How do I make connecting as routine as a syllabus AND how do I make it as valued as a syllabus.  I want to know more about how I can navigate the existing sharky waters of hied. How have others used aikido moves to enable connected values and principles in what amount to mostly unconvivial sharing tools.

      My only wonder/concern is that other than you, Howard (and Alan, to some degree, earlier), facilitators seem to be absent from the online conversations, other than the scheduled video hangouts.  It can feel a bit ... like the classrooms that Connected Courses is trying to remix, where the knowledgeable person in the front of the room (or in the hangout on my screen), talks and shares expertise, but then is not all that active in the ancillary conversations going on outside of the classroom (hangout).  Tell me I am missing those conversations, and I will be happy/content in that knowledge.  When I bounce around the blogs, I am most often likely to see you (Howard), Terry, Mariana, and a few others in the comment sections. Maybe more plans for projects like #WhyIteach are in the mix (hope so) and ways to get folks to make content (a shared ethos of open learning? A collaborative letter to a Dean about the need for more connective learning? etc) connect deeper will emerge (doubly-hope-so).

      You just reminded me: I see nothing in the course design that helps people who are TEACHING students and involving them in #ccourses to help those students interact with each other. I am mostly seeing other educators here...
    • Maha Bali

      Agreeing with Kevin here. There are a couple of other facilitators active in some spaces. Helen on twitter and blogs (did not realize she was a facilitator at first, though); Mia Zamora (she's a facilitator, right?) and Jonathan on Google+ and Mimi is starting to respond on Twitter now. But in general, I would have expected the facilitators to be active throughout and across. The only ones who are really doing that are Howard and Alan. As in, they were there from the very beginning (pre-pre-course) and everywhere in all spaces, "listening" & responding. Not every facilitator can read/listen to everything (though Alan/Howard almost seem like they do! don't know how!) but given the sheer number of facilitators their responsive presence has potential to be so much stronger.

    • Maha Bali
      Maha Bali on 27 Sep 14
       
      I don't think its going against the grain, exactly, Kevin. It's a kind of speaking out. And it's also the case that some learners need more direction, or more support or explicit permission in knowing they can take their own direction... If that makes sense?

      I am thinking of Pan here.  You know...the panpipes.  i have such wonderful associations with this word because of The Wind in the Willows. The very title of Grahame's book is a reference to Pan and the gods of otters and water rats and moles and badgers and toads. 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. It is titled "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" --Pan, the source of all inspiration, speaking to use through the wind in the willows at the gates of dawn.

Sweet and wild and impossible to word.

      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.

      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.

      I think that we skirt around the issue of how we go beyond an "amalgamation" when we lower our gates and release the bloody-minded wards of routine. We really are Kevin and Mimi and Maha and Alan (well, maybe not Alan ;-) ).  I think they are our fractal selves.  Is that nuts? 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.

      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?

      They were bad - we were bad... all bad! (Just heard on the radio: When shepherds get hungry - they will eat their sheep... I think this is it: when we punish the teachers they eat their sheep!)

      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.

      Didn't want it to feel all Moses and messianic. I did not want to bring the learning from the tech mountain - but to say - hey - this mountain is here - there could be beauty - there is some danger - there is risk - go on - check it out for yourselves...

      This so typical, no matter the learning institution ... even in elementary schools, where you would think play would be the heart of learning. But not for teachers, apparently ....
