      I believe in this kind of scholarship.  In fact, my latest post is an act of this kind of scholarship.

  • No a photo is a lie.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      The sensorium is a lie. But a lie is a lie as well.  
  • We need fiction.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      We need the lies of our lying eyes.
  • We are human.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      And because we are human the lies have to be enough. Lies will suffice.

Digital Writing Month - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Writing Month is a (somewhat) insane month-long writing challenge, a wild ride through the world of digital writing, wherein those daring enough to participate wield keyboard and cursor to create digital projects of text, image, and/or sound in the thirty days of November. Modeled after the inspirational National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), DigiWriMo asks writers to be creative not just with their words, but also with other digital media -image, video, and sound - and with what those media can do. We will work to redefine "writing" in the digital, and not confine it only to words, but open up the possibilities of narrative and exposition within multimedia and multimodal projects. Where that "writing" resides, what it looks like, how it interacts with other works and authors, is entirely up to the wild imaginings of each DigiWriMo participant. Writers may choose to collaborate with one another on a long piece, like a novel or collection. They may conspire, co-author, cooperate, collude, or even compete… Blog posts, Twitter essays, podcasts, music videos, wiki novels, a tv pilot co-authored in a Google Doc, slideshows, academic articles, massively co-authored poems, songs, and novels are all potential ways to cross the finish line. The point is to experiment, to push our boundaries and create, and to locate our creations on the web, in relationship with other creations, other words and other authors. You do it your way, whatever way that is, and we'll provide the applause.

      Love this! need to learn more about how this worked. maybe meet teacher via RFD? 
  • As part of the social media class, my students are required to set up a network of online mentors using social media tools.
  • This semester, I asked my students to “curate” that information the way a museum curator would curate an art exhibit.

K-Log: #CCourses: Thinking Like the Web - 3 views

  • 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
       
      "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!)
  • sketch
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      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.

      Yeah!
  • These led to a bit of conversation which made me feel that the course wasn't static but alive
    • Kevin Hodgson
       
      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.

The Zeitgeist - 1 views

  • Businesses often want to see the ROI of something before committing to it. This is just a defence mechanism to ensure the status quo. If we keep the investment low enough, we don’t need to worry about the return on it. This allows for wide experimentation; not quick wins but quick losses.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Invite to do, low bar/small incentive, participation/experimentation.
  • The zeitgeist is the need for organizational change.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Tell the story of the zeitgeist.
  • I usually suggest that it does not matter what you do, just do something. Let people safely experiment. I suggested to a school board that they give $100 to every teacher to invest in whatever they wanted, without any direction. Teachers could buy something for their classrooms, or perhaps a number of them could pool their money and make a larger impact. The cost would be low. The impact would be wide. The possibilities would be greater than any central committee could plan.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      This is so wise.  And reminds of the work that community organizers do.
