  • A student-run Web site at Stanford University seeks to convince students to input their class assignments to keep themselves—and their classmates—more organized. It could, founders hope, grow into a student-run course-management system.

    Cancel
  • Once one student adds an assignment in a class, everyone else in the class has it added to their calendars, as well. Ultimately, he’d like to expand the site to include social events on campus, to help students better plan every aspect of their lives. He also plans to allow students to flag incorrect assignments.

  • It is called natural selection and back in 1859, Charles Darwin began to document that the preservation of the species was based on Natural Selection. This still holds true today. If it were not for the option for ranchers to sell these cattle to rodeo livestock producers, the alternative would be certain death. Natural selection of rodeo livestock started when rodeo started and has evolved to include semen sexing, embryo transfer and cloning!

  • Rodeo livestock lives better than most people; certainly their breeders and owners. Regular, premium feed, and even bottled water in some cases, help to preserve the animals by keeping them comfortable, hydrated and able to perform to their ability. For these and other reasons it is a fact that many bulls today are marked and sold for six figures! They are as valuable as a prized thoroughbred race horse yet one does not see the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or Belmont being limited or eliminated.

teaching connectivism networks social eLearning writing english

shared by J.Randolph Radney on 22 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Technological networks have transformed prominent businesses sectors: music, television, financial, manufacturing. Social networks, driven by technological networks, have similarly transformed communication, news, and personal interactions. Education sits at the social/technological nexus of change – primed for dramatic transformative change. In recent posts, I’ve argued for needed systemic innovation. I’d like focus more specifically on how teaching is impacted by social and technological networks.
    ...
    Cancel
  • social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher. Networks thin classroom walls. Experts are no longer “out there” or “over there”. Skype brings anyone, from anywhere, into a classroom. Students are not confined to interacting with only the ideas of a researcher or theorist. Instead, a student can interact directly with researchers through Twitter, blogs, Facebook, and listservs. The largely unitary voice of the traditional teacher is fragmented by the limitless conversation opportunities available in networks. When learners have control of the tools of conversation, they also control the conversations in which they choose to engage.
    ...
    Cancel
  • Course content is similarly fragmented. The textbook is now augmented with YouTube videos, online articles, simulations, Second Life builds, virtual museums, Diigo content trails, StumpleUpon reflections, and so on.

  • Views of teaching, of learner roles, of literacies, of expertise, of control, and of pedagogy are knotted together. Untying one requires untying the entire model.

  • Fortunately, the experience of wayfinding is now augmented by social systems.
    ...
    Cancel
  • I found my way through personal trial and error. Today’s social web is no different – we find our way through active exploration. Designers can aid the wayfinding process through consistency of design and functionality across various tools, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the individual to click/fail/recoup and continue.
    ...
    Cancel
  • The curator, in a learning context, arranges key elements of a subject in such a manner that learners will “bump into” them throughout the course. Instead of explicitly stating “you must know this”, the curator includes critical course concepts in her dialogue with learners, her comments on blog posts, her in-class discussions, and in her personal reflections.
    ...
    Cancel
  • Sensemaking in complex environments is a social process.

  • magine a course where the fragmented conversations and content are analyzed (monitored) through a similar service. Instead of creating a structure of the course in advance of the students starting (the current model), course structure emerges through numerous fragmented interactions. “Intelligence” is applied after the content and interactions start, not before.
    ...
    Cancel
  • Aggregation should do the same – reveal the content and conversation structure of the course as it unfolds, rather than defining it in advance.
    ...
    Cancel
  • Filtering resources is an important educator role, but as noted already, effective filtering can be done through a combination of wayfinding, social sensemaking, and aggregation. But expertise still matters. Educators often have years or decades of experience in a field. As such, they are familiar with many of the concepts, pitfalls, confusions, and distractions that learners are likely to encounter.

  • Without an online identity, you can’t connect with others – to know and be known. I don’t think I’m overstating the importance of have a presence in order to participate in networks. To teach well in networks – to weave a narrative of coherence with learners – requires a point of presence. As a course progresses, the teacher provides summary comments, synthesizes discussions, provides critical perspectives, and directs learners to resources they may not have encountered before.

  • Michele wants government to make the kind of serious spending decisions that many families and small businesses have been forced to make.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she is aligning herself with the middle-class which could serve to distinguish her from some of the other Republican candidates who have been critiqued for over-looking the middle-class. It also alludes to her dissatisfaction with recent government spending and bailout packages. She is siding with the everyday American who protested the extreme government spending amid the recession. Provides pathos as it shows her sense of financial responsibility and similarity with everyday Americans.

  • Michele is a leading advocate for tax reform, a staunch opponent of wasteful government spending, and a strong proponent of adherence to the Constitution, as intended by the Founding Fathers.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The sentence is elegantly written and effectively uses parallel structure which appeals to the audience's logic. The sentence concludes with a reference to the Founding Fathers which rouses nostalgia for the beginning of the United States. This nostalgia can be very affective as many Americans (especially Republicans) feel that government was best under the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers personify all that is great about being American-independence, democracy and strength. Founding Fathers also alludes to the joyous celebration of the Fourth of July (Independence Day) which provokes pathos.There is also a simile here as she compares herself to the Founding Fathers.

  • She is also a defender of the unborn and staunchly stands for religious liberties.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      As " a defender of the unborn", Bachmann positions herself as pro-life. The phrase is a euphemism as it is a nicer way of saying against abortion. The second part of the sentence "staunchly stands for religious liberties" is likely a second euphemism stating her siding with the bible on topics such as same-sex marriage. Both stances develop ethos especially amongst Republicans and may also appeal to emotion as the topics are deeply personal.

  • In July 2010, Michele hosted the first Tea Party Caucus meeting. She is seen as a champion of Tea Party values
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she positions herself of a leader of the Tea Party which adds considerable credibility (ethos) to her candidacy because of the Tea Party's considerable resources and growing popularity. It is important for Bachmann to identify herself as a leader as that is what people are voting for. Also note how the term "champion" is consistent with the website's continued emphasis on winning.

  • Michele and Marcus have five children, Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia. In addition, the Bachmann family has opened their home to 23 foster children
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 18 Jul 11
       
      This sentence develops both ethos and pathos. Ethos as she is seen more reputable and trustworthy by having such a large and seemingly happy family. The main purpose here is pathos as she depicts herself as a loving and devoted humanitarian. She is portrayed here as a mother figure, someone responsible that can look after a large and diverse household (a metaphor for the United States?).This last statement develops a paradox between her portrayal throughout the passage as a tough candidate like one of the Founding Fathers, and her portrayal as a loving, responsible mother who can take care of the nation. Very Interesting.

  • Michele is the first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Interestingly, this is the only line in the passage that directly points to Bachmann's uniqueness as a female candidate. Potential supporters who were unsure whether she could become the first female president will be reinforced by her being the first Republican elected to the House of Representatives from Minnesota. It achieves ethos as she becomes a more credible candidate as well as logos because "if she was the first woman from Minnesota than why can't she be the first woman president". For the female audience, it may also be pathos as she is seen as breaking down barriers to womens freedom.

  • Michele Bachmann is running for president to bring a new voice to the White House
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The main use of rhetoric in Bachmann's opening line is "bring a new voice to the White House". The new voice rhetoric is very common among presidential candidates as it is a metaphor for change. Indirectly this new voice represents the possibility of correcting the current governmental problems. It appeals mostly to ethos as it could inspire hope in the audience.

    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The sentence develops ethos and pathos in the audience. Ethos as her character and reputation is bolstered by her emphasis on education. Pathos as she highlights having started a school for at-risk kids; specifying "at-risk kids" adds emotion to the description and depicts her as empathetic.

  • Serving on the Intelligence Committee, she has consistently advocated peace through strength to ensure America's national security. She has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she states her stance on foreign policy. She successfully aligns herself with the Americans who seek an end to the War in Afghanistan by stating that "she has consistently advocated peace". Also she answers the critics who think she won't be tough enough by saying that "she has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies". She shows experience and ability by having served on the Intelligence Committee (logos). "Taking a vow" appeals to emotion as it carries the connotative meaning of commitment, dedication, and marriage.

Describes herself as a hard-worker. Also note the attention to detail in having the message exactly one minute long.3. Ethos: She begins by establishing herself as an official candidate having done all the paperwork. Seems trustworthy through eye contact and fluent speech.4.

      The picture depicts Bachmann as patriotic (the flag on her collar), conservative (seems to be conservatively dressed), and happy (the big smile-ethos). It's interesting that she's not looking at the camera but rather up and to the side. Might have been done because she looks better from this angle, or potentially to show her as ambitious and aspiring. -also note her husband's smiling picture located underneath the video. He is well-dressed (ethos) and again smiling (pathos). Showing that she's married also adds to her candidacy especially among the more conservative Republicans.

      Bachmann logo found here at the top as well as at the very bottom serves to authenticate the document. It's symbolic of an official stamp or even the presidential seal. Of note are the stars (again the allusion to success and winning, as well as patriotic); the red, white, and blue classic American colours; and the red and white stripes through the 'H' in Bachmann which allude to the American flag. The authenticity of the stamp appeals to the logic (logos) of the viewer as well as adding to Bachmann's credibility (ethos). The patriotic symbolism appeals to the strong patriotic emotions of the visitors.

      The page exhibits a red, white, and blue theme. These symbolic American colours are used to evoke both pathos and ethos in visitors. Pathos as the colours appeal to emotions by giving American's a comforting patriotic feeling. Ethos as the colours help develop Bachmann's character as patriotic, loyal, and trust worthy. The colours also make it nice to read as they provide visual continuity.

      Pictures of Bachmann speaking with people in the community are persuasive by developing logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos: seeing her speaking with seemingly everyday people adds support to her claims of being "the voice of the people". Ethos: the pictures make her appear more trustworthy and reputable. especially the picture of her shaking a woman's handPathos: She is again smiling in the pictures which evokes happiness. She is also photographed speaking with hand gestures which shows passion.

      Notice the applauding crowd in the background; the viewer assumes that the crowd is applauding for Bachmann and this provokes ethos as her credibility is enhanced by the image. It is also potentially pathos as it can be seen as a metaphoric image of a crowd during a (presidential) victory speech. The symbolic image of the victory speech evokes happy emotions of winning; relate it back to the video where she calls it "a winning team".

      Just under their slogan, the sentence starts with "We are committed to meet your needs locally". And it ended with "... experience and expertise that spans the globe". Of course this is repeating their slogan in a more detail yet its not a long introductory to deliver their message to their clients. It said what it needed to say to appeal to customers by ethos.

      This picture with all the bikes being used and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves while working out appeals to pathos. Maybe even ethos since they do look like they are in shape and gives creditbility.

  • Delivering community-specific programs and services designed to enhance and empower lives has been the mission of the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA for nearly four decades. Our story is about people from every background working together to make a positive difference in the quality of life for themselves and others. Their unselfish commitment to the health and well-being of the community they share has had a tremendous impact with far-reaching benefits. We trace our roots back to the early sixties, when a small group of concerned women met together in the basement of a boy’s club to form a Y neighborhood group. Familiar with the work of the Y they began to organize programs and services eventually leading to the chartering of the YWCA of Kamloops in 1965. Ten years later, the focus and the scope of programs and services were broadened when members voted to join the YMCA movement and the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA was formed. In the near thirty years since then, our Y has built a proud legacy of uninterrupted community service sparing no effort to keep pace with changes that have come with time. The same spirit of commitment and dedication upon which our association was founded still fuels our determination to build toward a healthier tomorrow. We look back with pride at all that has been accomplished since our humble start and it inspires us to look forward with a renewed sense of commitment to what we must yet achieve.

      This long text appeals to ethos, logos and pathos. Ethos because they give factual information which gives more credibility and does give imperrions of being legit. Pathos espeacially in last paragraph because it is inspiring and people may like to be inspired. Logos because the explanation does make sense and gives factual information on what their purpose is.

  • Here are the five rules you need to remember to create amazing Powerpoint presentations: No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken. No cheesy images. Use professional stock photo images. No dissolves, spins or other transitions. Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never use the sound effects that are built in to the program. Instead, rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have. If people start bouncing up and down to the Grateful Dead, you’ve kept them from falling asleep, and you’ve reminded them that this isn’t a typical meeting you’re running. Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They don’t work without you there.

      This is an appeal to religion (since the authors quote a religious authority figure) as well as to morality. Without providing any kind of evidence, the authors attempt to convince people by telling them that it is their duty to oppose abortion.

      This is a personal argument based on the author's own personal experience. Although it shows what can happen, the author makes it seem as though it is an inevitable result of abortion. However, it cannot be generalized as other people may have had different experiences and feel differently about the issue.

      These pictures try to persuade people by making them believe that God does not condone abortion. It is also a reference to our 'playing God', which happens to be a common religious argument against scientific advancements. Furthermore, the depiction of children serves to demonstrate that children are an essential part of 'God's plan' and must, therefore, be protected. They also look weak and defenseless, which elicits an emotional response also known as the mother's / father's instinct.

      This is a picture of a 14-week old fetus. It, too, is supposed to elicit an emotional response, or a protective instinct. Since the 'baby' is fully recognizable as a 'human being' (due to the fact that it certainly looks like one), it serves to reinforce the argument that abortion is murder.

      The aborted fetus is supposed to make one feel disgusted and devastated as well as angry and sad. However, this is an 11-week old fetus (as opposed to the 14-week old fetus). It may be the case that there is a fundamental difference between an 11-week old and a 14-week old fetus in terms of their development into an actual human being.

      This is an appeal to emotion. The authors make the readers recall certain significant past events such as their prom or their first date. By doing so, the reader is forced to think about what it would have been like if it had been him or her and the authors successfully make it a very personal issue.

      The authors then go on to argue that abortion is not only morally wrong but also politically wrong as it takes away several rights from a 'human being'. Furthermore, they compare it to feminist issues (which is also why they chose to call the fetus "Sara" and refer to it as a "girl"), thereby appealing to women and especially to feminists (whether they be male or female).

  • This first question we must ask ourselves when considering our opinion on abortion is this: "Is something being killed?" Everyone familiar with biology will answer yes. The next question is "What is being killed?" A simple way to answer this is to ask "Does it have DNA? The answer is yes. What kind is it? Human. The DNA at 5 minutes after conception is identical to the DNA 85 years after conception.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to argue deductively. However, they assume that everything they say is based on nothing but facts even though they never prove that everything that 'has human DNA' is in fact a fully developed human being.

    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to persuade the readers that the women who decide to get an abortion are actually victims. Surely, some of them regret it but there are also women who do not regret it. By taking one example and presenting it as a general rule of thumb, the authors redirect the reader's anger toward the authorities and the institutions that support abortion.

  • Abortion is not the first time this word game of personhood vs. humanity has been played with human life. During the slave trade, it was acknowledged that black people were human beings, but not "persons". During the Holocaust, Hitler acknowledged that Jews were human beings. That's why he performed horrible experiments on them, but he did not acknowledge their "personhood."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      By comparing abortion to slavery and to the Holocaust, the authors once again elicit a strong emotional and moral response that leads to the readers thinking about the wrongness of the act. Abortion is thereby inevitably depicted as a crime (or even genocide), which is an attempt to make people want to oppose it.

      This comparison is invalid since the real question is whether a fetus is "alive" yet. Toddlers and the authors are without a doubt alive. Yet, the authors' use of an analogy is quite interesting as it seems to be an attempt to appeal to logic.

  • In the last 30 years approximately 21,500,000 women have died violent deaths in the United States. They have had their arms ripped off, they have had their legs ripped off, they have had their heads cut off. These women were defenceless, they could not speak out to defend themselves. They remained silent as they were brutally murdered. These women were not fully grown. They were waiting to be born. These women died from abortion. Most abortionists are men who say that they are in favour of women's rights and they say they shun violence against women. Obviously, they are not in favour of the rights of women in the womb.

  • The abortion industry is a multi billion dollar industry and Planned Parenthood is now exporting this industry to countries around the world like a McDonald's franchise.  I just attended a summit on "Population Control" in Ottawa. It is scary to think that we are now trying to export abortion to countries around the world the way we export wheat. Much of this is being paid by our governments.

      Making it seem as though abortion is but a business distracts from other aspects of it such as 'abortion as a result of rape' etc. and redirects anger toward the institutions that support it. Hence, people's desire to put an end to abortion grows (if they do not critically reflect on it, that is).

      Repeating the main statement (it is murder) and ending the discussion with a 'prayer' emphasizes the wrongness of the act as well as the religious aspect of it. We should not play God because 'in Your way [God's way] we have absolute confidence', meaning that if God wanted it to happen it would happen naturally (by itself). Furthermore, ending the discussion the same it started is also very effective as it demonstrates that it is now 'complete' (like a 'vicious' cycle that one cannot escape).

        The color yellow was choosen in regards to pathos, it implies postive emotions along with symbolizing a well balanced mentally healthy life style. Along with the color yellow, there is also a picture of a women showing her strength, again capturing emotions regarding to health and wellbeing which result in positivity. It is important to note the size of the picture, it is the first thing you see on the page. The company uses "18- years in business " to start their text; this is to suggest to the viewers that the bussiness has been runing for many years which makes this credible. These appeals to ethos

      • That's how Breatheasy user Dr. George Szczerbaniuk puts it. The Breatheasy soundtrack contains a pleasant and natural-sounding breathing track (actually created from an ocean wave) actually woven into the fabric of the music. The breathing track gently and gradually slows your breathing from the overly tense and fast way we tend to breathe down to the slow and precise pattern proven to relieve chronic stress and anxiety and even reduce high blood pressure.

      • And stress is not just a rotten feeling that makes us and those around us feel miserable. Chronic and severe stress is a killer. It provokes the release of harmful hormones like cortisol that attack and weaken our natural defenses. Cortisol can even penetrate a mother's womb to harm her unborn child.
