  • 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.

      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.

      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.

  • Critical thinking, the old mainstay of higher education, is no longer enough to prepare our youth for this world. We must create learning environments that inspire a way of being-in-the-world in which they can harness and leverage this new media environment as well as recognize and actively examine, question and even re-create the (increasingly digital) structures that shape our world.

  • They found that how interested the students were in the passage was thirty times more important than how “readable” the passage was.
  • Maybe the right question to ask is: Why do some people decide to practice a lot in the first place? Could it be because their first efforts proved mostly successful?   (That’s a useful reminder to avoid romanticizing the benefits of failure.) Or, again, do they keep at it because they get a kick out of what they’re doing? If that’s true, then practice, at least to some extent, may be just a marker for motivation. Of course, natural ability probably plays a role in fostering both interest and success, and those two variables also affect each other.
  • By contrast, when the hours were logged, and the estimates presumably more reliable, the impact of practice was much diminished. How much? It accounted for a scant 5 percent of the variance in performance. The better the study, in other words, the less of a difference practice made.[1]

  • What’s true of time on task, then, is true of practice — which isn’t surprising given how closely the two concepts are related.

    "The question now is what else matters." And there are many possible answers. One is how early in life you were introduced to the activity - which, as the researchers explain, appears to have effects that go beyond how many years of practice you booked. Others include how open you are to collaborating and learning from others, and how much you enjoy the activity."

    "How do you represent the rhythm of a poem through images and layout? How do you represent the stanzas of a poem through images and layout? How can narrating a poem through images encourage the reader to think on a greater or smaller sense of scale and meaning? How does adding moving images (video) to a poem affect the rhythm and structure of the poem as a whole? How can adding moving images contribute to the intended tone? What about words that defy image, are they really necessary to convey additional meaning? If I think I've successfully figured out a way to visually represent a comma, but my reader doesn't understand that subtle visual as a comma, was my interpretation of a comma unsuccessful? Will anyone realize that the yellow star is a link to a .gif?  What is lost if they don't?  Is it okay if that is lost? "
