  • Having an audience can clarify thinking. It’s easy to win an argument inside your head. But when you face a real audience, you have to be truly convincing.
  • Once thinking is public, connections take over
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • children who didn’t explain their thinking performed worst. The ones who recorded their explanations did better
  • The things we think about are deeply influenced by the state of the art around us: the conversations taking place among educated folk, the shared information, tools, and technologies at hand
  • FAILED NETWORKS KILL IDEAS. BUT SUCCESSFUL ONES TRIGGER THEM.

  • whether you are creating an environment where learning can take flight - dry kindling, tall trees - or are you creating an environment where, with a lot of damp branches, there is a lot of smoke, but little fire?
  • As +George Siemens suggests while talking about connectivism as an answer for the digital age, "learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements – not entirely under the control of the individual."

    "In a fantastic discussion as a part of +Ed Tech Crew Episode 240 focusing on what it takes to be an IT co-ordinator, +Ashley Proud spoke about the demise in tinkering amongst students.

    Truth be told, pesticides may be present in vegatables and fruits we eat fruit wholesale. They're primarily used through the cultivation of crops and perhaps may remain as residues. Recently many advocacy groups and NGOs conducted random testing on vegatables and fruits and located unacceptably high levels of pesticide residue in them.
