  • ‘Terry is what a great 21st-­century mathematician looks like,’’ Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who has collaborated with Tao, told me. He is ‘‘part of a network, always communicating, always connecting what he is doing with what other people are doing.’

  • t's a great way for the parents to know what's going on in the classroom at the exact time a tweet is being sent
  • We also used twitter this year to connect with people.
  • It's pretty powerful when a six and seven year old writes something to someone they look up to and that person takes the time to respond back to them.

    A teacher sharing how they use Twitter in a primary classroom with 6 and 7 year old learners. I wonder what protection issues this would raise in the schools of the teachers amongst us?

  • David warns, we still tend to think of knowledge in the ways we did when books had to sit on a single place on the shelf, when knowledge had a single, possible, right form, rather than multiple forms.

      Interesting to see how the perceived information overload may be attributed to the way we tend to think of knowledge.
  • This doesn’t mean there are no facts – but it does mean that people are going to insist on being wrong.”
  • David is actually quite concerned about difference, and just how much difference we can tolerate and still interact and function.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • He acknowledges that there’s a human tendency towards homophily, flocking together in groups united by race, gender, belief, socioeconomic status, etc.
  • This can lead to a serious challenge to public discourse – echo chambers that can solidify beliefs, making them more extreme and
  • polarized.
  • ooking for solutions and common ground by trying to get to the facts.
  • To have a good conversation, you need to have 99% similarity and 1% difference.
  • When data.gov released sets of government information, they didn’t clean or normalize it ahead of time – they released raw data. They concluded that it was better to put the data out there than to constrain themselves to information that was consistent and known, for the simple reason that this constraint would have slowed them down badly. Darwin would not have agreed – he spent seven years on one fact.
  • It may be the one approach that’s scaleable
  • why were old knowledge systems so fragile?
  • hese systems assumed knowledge was bounded, settled, orderly and proceeded step by step. But that’s not what knowledge feels like in the age of the internet. It feels unbounded, overwhelming, unsettled, messy, linked and governed by our interests. And those properties are the properties of what it means to be human in the world.
  • raditionally, we’ve handled this by breaking off a brain-sized chunk of the world and getting an expert to understand it. Once we’ve got that expert, we can stop asking questions: we simply ask the expert. Experts, and the credentials that create them, are stopping points. They’re points beyond which we don’t need to look any further.

      Gatekeeping
  • it challenges our notion of what knowledge is, and introduces the uncomfortable question of how we navigate this new space
  • We tend to assume that knowledge gives us an accurate picture of the world, built up bit by bit, fact by fact. In acquiring knowledge, we nail down each piece with certainty. And we see knowledge as a product of filtering and winnowing – we move from perception to true perception, from a mob of opinion to true belief. Knowledge is about finding gold within the flux.
  • The manifestations of knowledge are at risk, and all it took was the touch of a hyperlink.
  • Links are a new form of punctuation
  • The internet is an environment that’s all about connection and our knowledge is picking up properties of the medium. Knowledge in this space is characterized by the fact that it’s “too much, messy, unsettled, and unstructured”.
  • We don’t just have a lot of information – the information is very messy
  • In a digital age, we simply make playlists. We end up with a mess of information, but it’s a rich and fertile mess.
  • Messiness is an essential feature of how we scale meaning.
  • Moynihan said “everyone is entitled to his own opinion, not his own facts”
  • releasing raw data and letting individuals and groups clean, analyze and share what they find

    Case study of "ds106" perhaps one of the most interesting, successful, and different examples of NGL. Offers specific advice on what ds106 offers to others who wish to set up a similar type of learning experience.

    This page contains a lot of links to relevant presentation by the Edina social media officer. I don't find the actual blog itself overly useful, but some of the presentations are interesting. The learning from other people's mistakes raises a couple of relevant point about identity and making connections.

      Good to see this working. Wonder if it comes via email notification and if it appears in the feed? (Probably not the feed)
  • I guess with all the text book readings I did not meld my knowledge into understanding connectedness. As I know humans are social creatures, and can not live without interaction, but I did not really understand the why to it all, I believe I wasnt really needing to know the answer yet or did not care till now.

    An interesting article that suggests that we are not all automatically inquisitive learners. Considering networked learning requires a certain amount of self-directed learning which would be driven by curiosity perhaps networked learning is not for everyone. The article does suggest that some of the curiosity can be taught and that teachers and peers still have an role to play in learning
