Another phone call ringing off the hook three on the main line seven on the cell all to tell us what we already figured out on our own by looking out the window ... school has been cancelled due to the white covering and the threat of rain, freezing all of our plans in their tracks....

      Kevin Hodgson on 03 Dec 14
       
      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
      Kevin Hodgson on 03 Dec 14
       
      There's something to be said for the raw experience, though, particularly we grapple with the confines of a tool/app/technology, try to understand the possibilities/limitations, and then push beyond that. I feel like we're always in the battle of agency with technology.

    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 03 Dec 14
       
      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).

  • am full of wonder about the kindness and gentle nature of the people in my network
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 25 Oct 14
       
      Love the poetic ideal here, and I think it is this element that brings us back into a space to connect with others.
  • My ‘hashtag home’
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 25 Oct 14
       
      This phrase is so interesting to me in a lot of ways ... a hashtag both stands by itself and is connected to other posts/ideas with same hashtag. Is it just Twitter-centric? It hints at the larger architecture of our experiences in online spaces, of lifelines that we throw out to others in hopes that our words/ideas won't stand alone in silence.
  • The tension between freedom of speech and member equality plays out in a more or less explicit way always.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 25 Oct 14
       
      And here we have one of the central points of being in online spaces. Is it a "true space" where things can go awry? (as in real life beyond the screen). Or do we want those with opposing views filtered out from the start?

  • people who I respect do tell me consistently that the language used can feel unwelcoming at the start.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 25 Oct 14
       
      Really? Interesting .... I have not heard that from anyone but I can see how someone might feel like it was an exclusive party of makers and less an inclusive party of "everyone." I guess ... truthfully, I never felt that with DS106.
  • Norms self-organise as people do, they are implicit. There is no explicit contracting upfront and no consequence for non-compliance that I have found in any of the MOOCs I have joined.
  • What prompted this post was a small realisation that has helped me keep the baby and let the bathwater out. May be we are overlaying the wrong construct on our online lives. May be this is not ‘a classroom’ and I am not ‘a teacher’ or ‘a learner’. May be I am just a human being using a technology to interact with other human beings  for a variety of purposes – one of which can be learning to make art, to knit or to be a good digital citizen.
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 25 Oct 14
       
      I love this realization, and agree with it. Her thoughts help connect beyond the learning itself (no matter the platform) and into the act of being a human whose part of the fabric of the world (not to get too corny about it)
  • As a participant I can choose to be part of disturbing and ambiguous spaces.
  • For me this is about sharing ideas, it is about knowing a person not what she/he can do for me, it is about having fun together exploring stuff and not being afraid to disagree with each other and ourselves regularly.

  • 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
      Kevin Hodgson on 22 Oct 14
       
      "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!)

      Kevin Hodgson on 22 Oct 14
       
      love the sketch! The visual element dovetails nicely with the visual element of how we experience and interact with the Web. We don't all see the underlying code. We see the illusion of the graphics.

    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 22 Oct 14
       
      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.

  •  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?

      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.
