      "Field" is a construct, a word that gives us fake leverage.  If we call it one thing so that we can manipulate it, the handle on a skillet, the hook for hanging a coat up, It is not one thing. It is a desperate many things that live within one thing.  It is fox, not the hedgehog. via GIPHY

      I suppose at the subatomic level there is more empty than not. At the neuronal level, all of the neurons are firing and wiring and firing and wiring. At a farmer's level, the ground level, he knows that there is no container to be empty.  There is only the turning of Gaia on a tilted axis and the flow of root and branch, leaf and rhizome in a sweet slow dance, a timelapsing dervish. via GIPHY

      Aftermath BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW When the summer fields are mown, When the birds are fledged and flown,       And the dry leaves strew the path; With the falling of the snow, With the cawing of the crow, Once again the fields we mow       And gather in the aftermath. Not the sweet, new grass with flowers Is this harvesting of ours;       Not the upland clover bloom; But the rowen mixed with weeds, Tangled tufts from marsh and meads, Where the poppy drops its seeds       In the silence and the gloom.

touches of sense...: In a tangle. - 0 views

  • "We might cool down the conversation with explicit norms, clarifying our objectives and assumptions,offer facilitation and other support in an attempt to achieve real dialogue. Over time the constraints could be loosened."
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Mar 15
       
      Howsabout we use something besides abstract nouns, words that remove us from feeling and touch? Cool, hell this is downright cold.
  • emotional blackmail and silencing tactic?
    • Terry Elliott

      Oh, yes, Simon.  You are effectively self-silencing.  The best kind of kink in the communication hose, n'est ce pas?
  • "Who is in? Who is out?" and when and where and who decides?
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Mar 15
       
      I am always an outsider, by termperament and by design.  Iconoclast is the word I use to describe myself.  I actually get a bit sick when I feel I am on the IN. I love the OUT. And I don't need a fucking box cutter to get out.  Something goofy, hilarious, and irritating about the video.  A classic out-y as far as I can tell.  Not so much a prophet as someone who says, "Fuck you. Now what are you going to do about it."  I live in a part of Kentucky where that attitude has been raised to an art form.  It's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.  I am a practitioner.

      Oxymorons point to the paradox of language, the Babel-ical inadequacy of words.  How helpful are they except to make us sit bold upright and pay heed to how entangled and embodied our knowing (and not knowing) are.

      Of course, in all humility, I am being totally derivative in this annotated response.  Nothing original although I am repeatedly striking my flint to your rock.
  • There are moments when I am moved to formal academic research.

      I weary of the fond hope of reciprocation.  In myself and in others.  Mostly in others.  I am unashamed to admit I need it. I am astonished that it is so little given online.  So I give it elsewhere and, as is said in labour circles, I withdraw my goodwill.

  •    Career Ladder - Helping Inner City Youth Through School to Careers by Daniel F. Bassill
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 13 Dec 15
       
      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?"

  • the ideas exchanged by participants, and the relationships created, are as important as the learning that takes place.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 13 Dec 15
       
      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).

      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.

  • They could be learning many new skills and habits (see article about passionate employee). 
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 14 Dec 15
       
      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?
