  • 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.

  • "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."

      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

      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.

  • There is not one community. There are multiple communities. These multiple communities are not fixed (much).

      Rumi: You are granite. I am an empty wineglass. My question is this:  who are you and who is the community.  And more...maybe you are the falling glass or the rising granite.  Confusing and confabulatory, no doubt.

      And more.  More than a man, a h-u-m-a-n.   And an entangled body way more tangled than just your communities.  And weaving from past to future through memes and genes.  A regular Gordian Knot.
  • So I suppose I could say that the varied and fluctuating communities in and around rhizo14 have varied and fluctuating curricula.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Mar 15
       
      Which is to say--there is no curriculum.  Omnia saecula saeculorum.

      Well...I am happy in my ignorance as to what this signifies much less means.  For the month of February I have been living pretty damned close to the bone, flaying and being flayed.  Hard, sharp edges to my life can't even be bothered to say, fuck this shit, I got better thought to thunk.

      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.
    • Terry Elliott

      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.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Mar 15
       
      I am almost never driven to formal academic research.  It shrivels and circumscribes and confines like an unwanted annotation.
  • I prefer to be inclusive.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Mar 15
       
      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.  
  • I wonder how these co-exist - in a warm soup of happiness?

Symphony of Ideas: 2014 - a year of connection, disconnection, and loss - 0 views

  • 2014 was a year of work. 2015 should be a year of fun. That's my resolution.

      Then you have to play without end or purpose in sight.  That is the infinite game.

  • One of my desires as a teacher and learner is to obscure the artificial boundaries that exist between formal and informal learning, 'school' and 'real life'. Such distinctions between digital connection and analog, 'face to face' connections should also be blurred.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 14 Jan 15
       
      I think one way to do this blurring is to observe and share more of your own life.  I am beginning a series of posts called "Petty Joys" that chronicle the 'small beer' of my life, stuff I love that doesn't rise to the level of epiphany.  I am blurring the lines so that the editor in my head doesn't send out a rejection letter.  My first petty joy is the peanut butter stirrer. Watch for it.

  • That’s what we want to do. Well…OK, that’s what I in my omniscient infinitude want to do. This is the problem of the connected classroom how can one give up the hiearchy, trusting that the course of things will be taken up in manifold ways and products?
    • onewheeljoe
      onewheeljoe on 14 Sep 14
       
      Self deprecating about your role in the classroom and also reflecting on the need to give up the hierarchy. Can you turn the hierarchy on its head regularly and routinely? 
  • And therein lay the rub: in response to the fear and confusion I sensed in my students I became Uncle “Hub Central”. Understanding how to summarize became an external act outside their own minds consisting of checklists, algorithms, and templates designed to connect the dots that I so faithlessly put on the page. But in the end I believe that summing up needs to be an internal algorithm that rises up as a personal exigency, a massing together of sets of neuronal allies, firing and wiring like a mosh pit of nodal “hands” holding up the crowd surfing madman named Summary.

      Here you are tough on yourself again while the rock and the hard place remain exactly where you found them. In my view, Uncle Hub Central responded with support strategies (I'm shocked to discover your use of the word scaffold, Terry. :) How might you throw out the bathwater of hierarchy while tucking the baby of your support strategies under your arm? If the hierarchy disappeared, how might you leverage your support skill and instinct in a more networked, dynamic way?
  • Meaning making and perhaps internal connecting? A consummation devoutly to be wished.

      How might you insist on the meaning making and internal connecting? Above you showed how you insist on summary.

  • Best practice/worst practice. The problem with this variant of the post hoc fallacy is that we don’t really know if the strategies all arose as a ‘one off’ case, a sample of one, or as a truly generalizeable theory of action. Heraclitus (and his kissing cousin, Chaos Theory) argues that we really can’t step twice in the same river. In other words, initial conditions are always different from case to case in the dreaded ‘real world’. Those initial conditions almost always lead one astray from the desired results. Post hoc thinking is almost always wrong.
    • onewheeljoe
      onewheeljoe on 14 Sep 14
       
      The best practice/worst practice piece has tremendous power. It is at the core of your reflection and might be at the core of reform. Is this the theme I think it is? 
  • Perhaps I will discover the best case scenario for each of my classes. Perhaps not. Perhaps the success will come in the constant trumpeting of both “baby step” successes as well as “falling and hitting our heads on the coffee table, let’s go to the emergency room” failures. I just need to move my primary default mode from hub to node. They are more responsible for their own learning than I am. I share a duty to them, but the process is messy. We are all moon calves when it comes to learning. Moon calves.
    • onewheeljoe
      onewheeljoe on 14 Sep 14
       
      Your conclusion reads like a beginning to me. How is the hub kidding himself about his role and his impact? How is the node superior as a teacher and learner?
