Terry Elliott on 21 Sep 14Just 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.

this topic was Mia Zamora’s “guilt-free” zone piece.

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.

Hmmmmmmm.....I still wish more people were being reciprocal. A little guilt is sometimes a good motivator. I agree.

This makes me curious to know the "Why" of the CCourses facilitators.
-
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.
