      Focus on those on "perceived" margins of power.  
  • If we are going to make meaningful interventions here, we have to go well beyond the myth of the digital native, which tends to flatten diversity and mask inequality. We need to engage more closely with the very different ways that young people encounter new media in the contexts of lives that are defined around different kinds of expectations and norms, different resources and constraints, from those encountered by youth raised under more privileged circumstances.

  •    Career Ladder - Helping Inner City Youth Through School to Careers by Daniel F. Bassill

      I am reading Henry Jenkins, et al's latest book, Participatory Culture.  Everything I see here fits what I have read so far.  And also asks the question: how do we get youth to participate in this particular culture--the one that moves them through poverty and into careers.   I will have to make this one of the core questions as I read Participatory Culture.
  • "What Will it Take to Assure that all Youth Born or Living in High Poverty are Starting Jobs and Careers by Age 25?"

      Trying to imagine what this meant to me in my life.  I don't think it was the skills so much that my parents gave me as the attitude to keep on.  
  • the ideas exchanged by participants, and the relationships created, are as important as the learning that takes place.

      the "c" in cMOOC stands for 'connectivism', a learning philosophy that argues that connection is the secret sauce the element in the play that makes learning inevitable.  Part of that connection is exchange (what I call reciprocation) and relationship (the fruit of reciprocation).

  • Last night the hangout focused on a platform called Youth Voices, where youth from around the country are connecting and sharing ideas and reflections.

      I feel badly that I have not made a better attempt to connect/facilitate between others. That's why I tried to get Daniel and Simon together in a Hangout.  
  • encourage him to use concept mapping tools like Kumu
  • I found one under the topic of "How Can We Reduce Costs and Still Get the Care We Need?"

      A valuable tool.  Here is a quick response: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/741/23114808664_5298e18c36_b.jpg

  • They could be learning many new skills and habits (see article about passionate employee).

      This has always been an issue in education--where is the best leverage for improving learning? where the best place to use any resource to get the most value?   Is this too narrow a way of looking at the problem?  too bottom line?  Seems to value "cost" efficiency over all other values?   So...do we need to be putting our magic into tutors/mentors and teachers or into learner/employees?
  • This process could engage youth in thousands of locations, focusing on many complex problems, not just health care or poverty.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 14 Dec 15
       
      I have always been for the idea that learners need to be more responsible for their own learning.  They should begin to be responsible for the problems they generate in their own lives and the ones they see generated around them.  It is the distribution of these problems and the relative inequity of this distribution that is most troubling.  Those who have the greatest opportunity to face the most difficulty problems are also those who are given the least resources to deal with them.  How fair is it to ask children to deal with the large issues of safety, health care, and poverty around them?

      Over 10% of their libraries are closed for varying emergencies. How can they expand services into maker spaces without affecting other services. Political issues here about money.
  • we’re inviting you to think about how you can tell a story using light.

  • Maker Jawn experiments with creating replicable, scalable spaces and programs that prioritize the creativity, cultural heritage, and interests of diverse communities, embedded directly within the fabric of the library. We cheer-lead latent enthusiasts by providing resources, tools, and an encouraging space. Programming is geared towards for interest driven projects that develop skills, build persistence, and open up new trajectories. We currently offer daily youth Maker programming in ten libraries across Philadelphia.

      Is this boilerplate from a grant application? To be blunt, I haven't the foggiest diea what it means. Which is wierd because the Jawn website is pretty straightforward.

  • I will have someone as a traveling companion
  • my soul needed to be fed a feeling of equality between myself and the people whose culture I was embracing.  I didn’t want to be an observer, I wanted to be one of them. And that, to me, was the most healing of all.
