  • 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.

      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.

      I wonder if this is what I call the complication.  His is a more verb-y than mine.  Mine is like the chemical term catalyst.  Drop it in and stuff happens. His is more like a fire heating the pot to a boil.

  • Dave that the edu systems of today are made from historical remnants that no longer apply for what our edu goals for today should be
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 12 Jan 15
       
      So much of how I analyze mod. ed problems is informed by the idea the future is not only already here (federatedwiki for example) but a moving target that is always unevenly distributed.  To me much of the prob with education is its uneven distribution.
  • Why can’t we just have more teachers who care to have students care about learning and who care to foster agency?
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 12 Jan 15
       
      Exactly,  thinking in complexity terms, we need to change the simplest set of initial conditions for learning.  That will reform any system.  We still can't predict where those conditions will emerge,but we sure know where the conditions are leading our students now.

      I have been experimenting with the word 'substrate' as the bare minimum structure upon which a bare minimum of content (there can be many growing media).  I am thinking just enough, vetted for bias as much as possible, and willing to be remixed as needed.

      Our kids used to have a big box of legos, blocks, plastic creatures AND they called them their 'guys'.  And they would go play guys.  And we were not allowed to play guys with them. It was their domain.  We could play in other domains, we could read aloud to them, but their guys were their guys, not ours.  They owned their own imaginations and still do.  If imagination be fiction, then let us have more of it.
