    "challenge students with quick creative challenges aimed at having students reflect on and create multimedia statements about themselves. The hope is that these kind of projects immediately introduce to the students a few critical ideas: They will use their devices to create, They will consider what is meaningful to them, They will share their work."

  • The sorts of hardware and software that were purchased had to meet those needs — the needs and the desire of the administration, not the needs and the desires of innovative educators, and certainly not the needs and desires of students.

      And the needs of the IT -- not teachers and students
  • we must stare critically at the belief systems that are embedded in these tools.

      identity -- what identity must education take?
  • The mainframe never went away. And now, virtualized, we call it “the cloud.” Computers and mainframes and networks are a point of control. Computers are a tool of surveillance. Databases and data are how we are disciplined and punished. Quite to the contrary of Seymour’s hopes that computers will liberate learners, this will be how all of us will increasingly be monitored and managed.

      I hope she suggests a solution. #clmooc would be leaders. How to share this perversion of possibilities.  The "adjacent possible" of the good became the priority instead of adjacent.

      I'm pausing. So many things reeling in my head: how can bad be the most powerful? people: identities unaccepted; control;  We're supposed to be civilized. But are we -- if this is what we do?

      When we challenge it, we will see HOW the data will be used against us as those controlling it will want to silence us, not find another way to work with people.
  • little thought about the Terms of Service,

      I do read the terms of service, and I know that Google wants me to share, so gives me my ownership. Yes, collecting data. Advertising.  So how do we as those sharing, work with Google, etc. to to make a better world? What is a "better world" ? Aren't there Google aspects reaching out to help identify environmental and social problems? Is everything here bad? I don't want it to be.
  • control over our access to knowledge.

      Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
       
      There it is control. What do you want them to do? What is the people's goal?

      I remember. My brother made a keypunch card with "the finger" on it. 1970s  I wonder where I put that? His quiet push back.
  • you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
    • Sheri Edwards
      Sheri Edwards on 30 Jun 15
       
      And, again, where is the HOW? How do we push back? The optout movement has started, and the pushback on them is fierce; fierce to keep the testing going. What do "the people" do? This is the alarm. We have no firetruck. Give us some tools. Now. Please.
  • ISTE is the perfect place to question what the hell we’re doing in ed-tech in part because this has become a conference and an organization dominated by exhibitors. Ed-tech — in product and policy — is similarly dominated by brands. 60% of ISTE’s revenue comes from the conference exhibitors and corporate relations; touting itself as a membership organization, just 12% of its revenue comes from members. Take one step into that massive shit-show called the Expo Hall and it’s hard not to agree: “Yes, it is time to give up on computers in schools.”

      What are some ways we can evaluate the knowledgeable others who inform our practice, or the organizations that supply the tools we adopt in schools, to always understand the market motivations at work?
  • The stakes are high here in part because all this highlights Google’s thirst for data — our data. The stakes are high here because we have convinced ourselves that we can trust Google with its mission: “To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”

      We've convinced ourselves that we can trust Google with its mission because to investigate the way Google might influence us by monopolizing search is beyond most people's ability or inclination to understand the inner workings of the Internet.

  • summarizing a bit of the scant research that’s specific to the classroom
  • According to the SRI study, a simulation differs from a game in that it does not employ a points or “currency” based reward system and it doesn’t have level based achievement goals. In addition, simulations have an “underlying model that is based on some real-world behavior.”
  • there’s no need for more commodified motivation
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Play is useful because it simulates real life experience — physical, emotional, and/or intellectual — in a safe, iterative and social environment, not because it has winners and losers.
  • The achievement lies in the act of learning and understanding itself.
  • interactive digital tools can offer an efficient means to provide effective contextualized learning experiences.
  • games as most beneficial for “low-performing students,” “students with emotional/behavioral issues,” “student with cognitive or developmental issues.” In other words, students who have been labeled and/or diagnosed because they struggle within the traditional school environment, benefit from game-based approaches
  • Gaming inherently involves systems-thinking which is best taught through collaborative learning.
  • There are connected, networked ways of knowing that will dominate the digital future. Sharing and collaboration go hand-in-hand with integrating non-competitive and non-commodified ways of playing. The way students play and learn today is the way they will work tomorrow.
