How PowerPoint is killing critical thought | Andrew Smith | Comment is free | The Guardian - 1 views

  • One either accepts them in toto, or not at all.

      I seriously disagree with this statement. Not only can the audience pick and choose which bullets they swallow, the speaker herself also can deviate or disagree with what they previously had written. PowerPoint can be as dominating as the author suggests, but only if the PP user allows it to do that - in which case any other medium (including blackboard) would do the same.
  • It’s dangerous because it can create the illusion of understanding and the illusion of control.

      so does any other medium for presenting information - including text. This author has proved that he can create the "illusion of understanding" without approaching at all a nuanced understanding of his subject.

  • First, most MOOC research has not brought the connectivist experience to life for readers who have not experienced the rhizomatic swarm of open, online, connected learning.

      That is an understatement. Combine that with translation and you have a potent, nay real chance for misunderstanding.  I find much of it unreadable and I suspect it is purposely so.
  • This process is called 'deterritorialization.’ Healing the lines, repairing them, and re-containing the boundary is called 'reterritorialization.’

      What if the boundary is semi-permeable as it often is on both micro and macro levels in natural settings.

  • I think Gary Stager gets it right:In the absence of a clear and publicly articulated vision for a school or district and a misguided quest for the holy grail of balance, the weeds will always kill the flowers. If you are a school leader with a coherent vision for educational progress, you must articulate your vision clearly and publicly so people will follow. Why make others guess what you want and stand for?

      Do any of these bullets rise up from the folk, from the learner, from the community and the rhizome? Don't think so.  Could they?  Of course.  It all depends upon which end of the stick and which end you 'valorize'.

Enough About Getting Rid of 'dave': Exploring Spontaneity and the Metaphor of the Gardn... - 3 views

  • But I think that Dave has just shown us that it is possible in an online environment.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      I don't always feel that way.  Sometimes I feel it is a guiding hand, but after two of these rhizo things I am beginning to think of it as a shving hand in a cattle chute.  The chutes only appear down, but the binaries still suggest two paths:  objective/subjective, content/no content,  dave/no dave and whatever the hell the other one was.  This is not rhizomatic teaching.  
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      Is it?
  • Dave has done a good job of modeling rhizomatic teaching
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      Not really too sure about this. He creates a binary and expects us to reconcile it.  And then where does that takes us as far as a rhizomatic practice is concerned?  Not very far at all.  
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      I think that Dave stages the even well, but does not follow through
  • the teacher is the gardener
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      If Dave is the Gardener,then the way he weeds is to point to the weed and say, "Isn't that interesting?".  Irresponsible?  Unethical? Bait and switch?  Not sure.  Personally, I am much more drawn to Heraclitus and Voltaire. For the latter the world is in flux and idiosyncratic as can be and for the latter he has Candide say, "That is very well put, but we muct cultivate our garden."  We must be our own gardeners.

      Dunno, the videos seem pretty scripted to me.  He has an agenda and wants to get it out there.  The community has been guided by each week's prompts, using it as a jumping off point but not really going too far from fold.  I wanted to see much more rebellion and spontaneous, adhoc-osity.  I tried, but no one paid me any mind.  Par.
  • Of course it is the gardner who decides between the weeds and “flowers”, sets the parameters of the garden, and ultimately decides who lives and who dies – but that is my next blog post.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 May 15
       
      I agree that the gardener controls but I think it is illusory.  Who plucks the gardener? Who tends the gardener? Who weeds the gardener?  The gardener lives in a larger system that subsumes the garden, a larger Garden.  The gardener thinks he is managing the complexity that is the garden.  Fools paradise for a sock puppet?
