I have been pondering this question for some time now. What does it mean to disconnect? We all say we need to. We all believe it's healthy for us (any research out there?). What does it truly mean to disconnect. Jeff Utecht is the teacher for the GAFE course I have been taking - I like the issues he raises here. I feel more comfortable when I am connected I must confess. I did not enjoy being tethered to a network cable while working in my hotel room last weekend. The Internet was so slow I did not create or work on my course work, it simply took too long.

I like this different lens for thinking about being connected.Thank you, Amanda.

Control in the sense of ownership, investment and engagement, degree of agency and autonomy. Control to exercise choice. Control to pursue curiosity.

Not sure I agree with this but it is thought provoking. I come from a school that developed four areas for student learning - Knowing, connecting, relating and supporting. Everything in the school was communicated and discussed through these lenses. Students and staff talked about learning and teaching through these areas.
