X-Change Lab: Learning through Disruptive Technologies - 0 views

  •  
    If the question concerning where technologies come from must be understood within a political context, how are we then to understand the agency of technology? Should it be approached from a deterministic point of view or are we, since it's a question about political processes, still in control?

Kobayashi Maru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

    Larry L in Unhangout: My point: Could you blame Captain Kirk cheating in Kobashashi Maru test? I'm really convinced that cheating is an intrinsic part of a damage/broken/unfunctional education system. Cris C -- Now that I know what Kobashasi Maru means, I'd say that Captain Kirk both cheated and hacked his way to success by disrupting the unfair system. Reminds me of Ender in Ender's Game (book/series by Orson Scott Card) who was continually and brilliantly breaking the rules.

  • what we have long taken to be essential to the structure of knowledge: a foundation.

      Just a metaphor that is as capable of change as any other metaphor.

      knowledge never had a foundation,
  • copying what you love
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Pretty compelling idea. One of the more compelling and accessible ways to learn and play at the same time is to copy. I supose that is why it is such a common practice in master/apprentice relationships.
  • But we also know that we make ourselves stupid when we restrict ourselves to tolerating only the mildest disruptions of our comfort.”

  • “in this world of abundance, knowledge is not a library but a playlist tuned to our present interests. It is not eternally truthful content but subject matter good enough for our current task. It is not a realm but a path that gets us where we’re going.”
    • Terry Elliott
       
      And we are walking the path together.
  • “educate our children from the earliest possible age about how to use the Net, how to evaluate knowledge claims, and how to love to difference.”
  • Now that the temple priests don’t control what we encounter” we need ”critical thinking skills more than ever”. 
  • The barriers that remain are not our technology’s but our own.
  • facts have played as the foundation of knowledge.”

rhizomatic learning | Viplav Baxi's Meanderings - 1 views

  • Uncertainty exists in all forms of education and learning. It is not mostly celebrated. In fact, it is suppressed.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Yes, this is exactly the point James Scott makes when he creates the binary of legible/illegible where the suppression of uncertainty is the definition of legibility.
  • It is even systematically constrained in other (non-traditional) environments, even informal ones at most times.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      I think you are pointing to the embodied and cognitive biases that are part of being a human being?
  • Not all certainties may be “good” or “appropriate”.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      I am thinking here of Nicolas Taleb's ultimate uncertainty, the unknown unknown, the Black Swan. I think that most suppression of uncertainty arises from the futile attempt to quell Black Swans and their evolutionary disruption.

  • democratizing uncertainty
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Is democratizing uncertainty like trying to formalize the informal?
  • We shall also need to “prove” in many ways, that more “good” uncertainty in the system will impact social outcomes positively.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Seems like predictability is worming its way into your discussion of uncertainty. Uncertainty is largely complex and unmanageable. Should we be focusing more on the processes and products that emerge from uncertainty? I don't think we can do a whole lot more than that, but I am certainly open to being informed more on this.

      Perhaps your last paragraph addresses obliquely what I asked above.
