Wikirriculum: Curriculum in the Digital Age | DMLcentral - 1 views

  • There are multiple examples globally of this kind of experimental curriculum design, some of which are already making the transition from ideas stage to design. The New Basics in Australia was an early example. Q2L in New York is a current program. In the UK, Enquiring Minds, Learning Futures, and Young People's Geographies are all illustrative of a centrifugal trend to allow alternative knowledges into the curriculum and to switch those networks together with school. Over time, these experimental designs may become blueprints for more mainstream curriculum design interventions.

Community as Curriculum - vol 2. The Guild/Distributed Continuum » Dave's Edu... - 0 views

  • Knowledge is a rhizome, a snapshot of interconnected ties in constant flux that is evaluated by its success in context.
  • rhizomatic learning distributes the channels of knowing outside traditional hierarchical models and into the social realm, allowing for help in sifting through the flow of information and knowledge. These “social learning practices are allowing for a more discursive rhizomatic approach to knowledge discovery” (Cormier, 2008, p. 3).
  • They especially need a learning community
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • knowledge production becomes a participatory process based in communities, with members trying to solve problems, tap into existing trends or simply exploring by helping someone else.
  • expertise and experience are still critical to the success of any community
  • A learning community is a specialized version that inverts the normal pattern of responsibility from being responsible to oneself to being responsible for the learning of the people with whom one is involved
  • “Learning together depends on the quality of relationships of trust and mutual engagement that members develop with each other, a productive management of community boundaries, and the ability of some to take leadership and to play various roles in moving the inquiry forward” (Wenger, White, & Smith, 2009, p. 8).
  • What the leaders of these guild style communities need to teach people, then, has little to do with content and more to do with actually using communities to learn.
  • Being able to participate in live knowledge building on a daily basis with a group of peers, on the other hand, is a privilege of the so-called digital age.

    random notes: Chapter 1, Curriculum and Representation ... here are some notes, particularly talking about Deleuze's philosophy up against Marx, Feminism, Psychoanalysis, Poststructuralism, and Systems Thinking. Vis-a-vis Marx: Surplus value could be enslaved through consumption rather than just exploited through production as in Marx. ... Human destiny itself is "recast" ... tools are necessary to resist subjugation ... the way to resist is to become a producer rather than a consumer (35) Non-binary models ... differentiation -- singularities -- becomings or formations ... new multiplicities (also see Massumi 1992) or (patriarchy) vs. and (opens an escape route/a away to get away from exclusionary logic) ... includes individual struggles ... warns that all struggles involve the danger of becoming hegemonies themselves ... new thought born of violence in thought -- therefore violent in the molecularized outside a state apparatus ... (appearance of "the state" here ... follow-up on this) Vis-a-vis Feminism (support but also discord) * woman-becoming * micro vs macro ("molar politics" ... minority demands for self identity) pg. 41 teacher must carry resistance into the microscope of difference and reconstitution ... into caring for oneself ... this makes change at grassroots conceivable (See also Swamihathan) Vis-a-vis Psychoanalysis Deleuze rejects the "poor technicians of desire" who make it about structure and lack ... Instead desire is recast as primary, positive, productive -- producing the real, creating connections, relations, alignments ... analyze and actively engage in critical experiementation to make new connections Vis-a-vis Poststructuralists Deleuze talks about force rather than power (Contrast this to Foucault who talks about the history has the form of war thar than language ... relations of power rather than relations of meaning) ,,, talks about relation to Cezanne -- moving to for

    random notes: Dave goes in to a description here of the Nomad as being the way of talking about the learner and what the learner is doing. The Nomad as a goal, what we want from education -- independence, responsibility and decision-making within the process. The learner makes the decisions, follows the rhizomes. Metaphor as a lens Violence in classroom ... (need to find out more about the class the Dave is trying to actively teach this way) Talk about rhizome as community ... EdTechTalk as an example ... Garden as structure -- compares of Appreciative Inquiry (cool! :) ... not content just the structure Frame -- syllabus as opposed to curriculum (need to finish ...)
