Transformation Tuesday came a little late...but really, has anything changed at all?

Daily Create #1641 Oh Yeah ! https://soundcloud.com/user-740887244-367418043/oh-yeah-tdc1641

Oh Yeah!Daily Create

For today's Daily Create, I recreated an old photo of me for Young Me versus Now Me. Sadly, I don't still have the Micky bookbag so I went for a Disney mouse in a bookbag :p

This sure did compliment my change/transition/risk taking theme for the summer!

Here is my photo recreation https://lfrappao.wordpress.com/2016/07/06/d-c-photo-recreation/

Practicing using Imgur- here is the pic for my mashup- read more about it soon on dusenberyart_k8@blogspot.com

Week 5 daily create- I think it is too large to add as a link so here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JjIIQg-qDk

A extra special dc today, as this was my first experience with Imovie and digital storytelling back at the beginning of a career change from Interior& Industrial design to Teaching 3 years ago.

I watch this from time to time to remind me of why I entered the teaching field in the first place. It keeps me grounded in a way-

Cheers- all comments welcome!

Here is my second Daily Create for Week 4! https://lfrappao.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/d-c-simpsons-meet-game-of-thones/

https://lfrappao.wordpress.com/2016/07/01/like-a-great-white-shark-on-shark-week/

There are likely pros and cons to this approach. In one respect, and by engaging with the same people over an extended period of time, you might really connect with certain people. And then again, you might also want to find ways to branch out. Happy to discuss this more!

I agree, I think the quality of your group's annotation-as-discussion was much improved from prior weeks. So what can we learn from this past week that will be applicable to the remainder of our course? What strategies might continue to support such quality exchange?

It is nice knowing that I can be honest or responsive according to my thought process without having an assessment motive behind it. I feel more compelled to learn for more professional reasons.

loving the term "collaborative reading practice" as a celebration of the social aspects of the web annotation process. for me, reading is more often a solitary process; however I think of myself as a collaborative learner. what am I missing by not reading collaboratively?

This could be great for SIOP and CLD practices-

Im going to ask here- as there are so many participants- How do you solicit conversation about your blog posts?

WHOA- Nice visual, even as adults I think that it is nice to have a reminder as to 'how to play along'.

This could have been handy at the beginning of class for us first timers! I would 'remix' this and go over it before having my students work on annotations- a good digital book mark-

Interesting, I like the possibilities of the ownership via independent work, it could then possibly be exchanged for another students work, for more comparison and contrast ( speaking from a k-8 teacher here)

So encouraging critical thought about the context and biases that may or may not be highlighted in the writing and topic?

So far my experience has shown that it may be better to question rather than agree, or make statements to achieve a dialog or conversation from other participants?

I wish I had been able to do this in my undergrad college days! All of the notes scribbled in margins that were so easily misplaced...

This will make a huge difference in online education! It is so much more interesting and engaging to read along with your fellow classmates and comment together about the reading. So many students feel so isolated in online classes.

Do you think that this has narrowed the spectrum of viewpoints, though? If the students have discussed ideas in hypothes.is and come to a 'common conclusion' of sorts, does that diminish diversity in student viewpoints?

I'm curious if anyone has noticed a trend of sort where many of the essays written off of the same annotations follow the same logic instead of exploring different avenues....?

Certainly has some worthwhile tips that I will keep in mind when interacting in ILT5340.

I find it interesting to stumble across an article that has just happened to be previously annotated as well.

I agree, this has helped me form my own ideas before blogging about readings.

I find the research with devices very interesting. Is anything being done with VR?

I struggle with annotating texts that are potentially controversial. For example, last semester we annotated some texts on GamerGate. It's such a touchy subject that I felt that I couldn't express my full opinions, I had a fear of retribution.

This is where hypothesis groups comes in handy. You can see what anyone in your group is posting anywhere (if they are using the group features). This might be something to explore in a future course!

Sounds like what we're doing in ILT5340.

it certainly has improved my understanding.

I wonder what features it had and how it compares to hypothesis.

Students learn through engagement in participatory culture.

And I'm really pleased to learn this! Finding a way for this course to enable personal meaning-making, and to apply to professional practice, is a goal. Please keep us all informed about your growth in this regard, and if the course design or facilitation fails to engender this anymore, keep us accountable!

What if access to technology matters less than pedagogy that honors the assets of your students?

Can you tell us more about this? I'm not sure if this is something you fear, or value, or consider necessary to learning, or... ?

Great, I'm so pleased that this course can provide that opportunity for you!

Are you suggesting that the "internet" is a singular space? Some clarification would help.

I'll be eager to learn about what you think of these case studies, many of which are written by educators who teach in schools similar to the one you're describing - see Teaching in the Connected Learning Classroom.

Really? I'd have to disagree. Please email me so that can we talk about this in detail.

And I'm glad you do, and - more importantly - this course can create the conditions for you to experiment with creativity.

I'm really pleased to learn that this is working out for you (and your group!). Lisa and I anticipated that the smaller groups would seed intentional connections and collaborations. It sounds like this is happening for you - wonderful!

I really appreciate the intention - and strategy - of your reflection - thank you!

Yup, dive in, experiment, see what fits, and make it work for you - well observed!

This is tremendous, and an important realization. Activities like Daily Creates and all our blogging emphasize production over perfection. As an educator, I care about seeing your learning as it emerges, as it is in process - and I care less about perfection, whatever that means.

And that's OK, some of the L&K remix practices may not be entirely relevant to the qualities of the story you've selected to critique. Adapting and - if necessary - discarding those practices is fine. You seem, however, to have grokked the broader point - that switching up the criteria for a critique changes how you will "read" and interpret the given story. So in that respect, well done!

Yes, this is a legitimate fear. Yet at the same time, I'm consistently amazed by the K-12 and higher ed educators who are sharing their work publicly, and often being rewarded because of that openness. Not all schools, districts, and policies are the same. And I'm reminded that with ISTE in Denver this past week, there are so many educators who are making public commitments to sharing their teaching practice. Among the many groups who are taking this more transformative approach to sharing, I'm impressed by Educolor and also the Ed Speakers Co-Op.

I am so pleased to learn this, and am deeply appreciative of the fact that our course design can support your expression of voice, however your emerging voice blends the personal with the academic and scholarly.

I likely noted this in our private reading conversations, though have you had a chance to look at the model of publication - and peer review - practiced in Hybrid Pedagogy?

These are very important questions to grapple with. In response, might I suggest you peruse a resource like Antero Garcia's Teaching in the Connected Learning Classroom.

Not a bad at all! In fact, this demonstrates - as you know - a great connection to our course readings about identity and blogging.

Of course! And yes, there are many resources out there about student blogging. I tweeted out another resource just this morning. Translation into practice does certainly take a lot of time.

Yes, isn't it interesting how web annotation and time work together when participating in social reading? The first person to "take a pass" at a given text will have a very different experience than someone who reads, and contributes, later in a given week. For me, I find it useful to revisit a reading multiple times so as to appreciate the annotations from multiple people.

Of course, because by design most of our learning in this course is open. Our course blog isn't going anywhere - same goes for all the posts created by your peers (unless they delete them!). Our reading PDFs aren't going anywhere, and all Hypothesis annotations are sticking around (and are archived). This is one reason why we've ditched an LMS. Access to a course LMS "shell" often disappears after a semester, and as a private space creates all kinds of issues with access. As you note, your learning is ongoing, why not have access to our collective knowledge long after our course "officially" ends?!

So glad we're on the same page!

I'm really glad to learn that these Hypothesis annotations are a useful scaffold for your reading comprehension!

What are your thoughts about our more structured use of Hypothesis as a means of peer-to-peer feedback? This is certainly a change from Games and Learning, and I hope this helps with the need for ongoing, formative evaluation, much of which should come (I believe) from the broader learning community and not a single authority (like me).

Me too!

I'm so pleased to learn that you have more and more questions - that's a core goal of this course, to create conditions for learners to ask questions about literacies, inquiry, expression, and creativity. And what's further interesting, for me, is that getting "back to the classroom" does not mean a four walled room abstracted from the real world. A classroom is Twitter. Your blog is a classroom, and our networked blogs an entire school. For me, "working with my students" means writing and reading socially, interacting on Twitter, and turning all our mediated networks into distributed learning environments. I no longer privilege one definition of a classroom. I actively try to trouble the expected geographies and grammars of learning in favor of more creative and contested learning spaces and expressions.

I'm glad you did, and that you're sharing this information here! This is precisely why we're critically reading and posting our thoughts publicly, to encourage more engaged discourse that examines between the lines.

Why doesn't it fit? What is preventing you - or anyone - from bringing the critical education perspectives, sociocultural theories (which here also addressed in our first week's reading), and political critiques from those courses into our learning here? If we're reading about mashup, why not mash together those courses with the social learning practices of ILT5340?

And thanks for challenging yourself to reach, and share, outside your comfort zone. And in doing so, here's one additional layer - and public recognition - that your public post is a way to make meaning among our learning community. Thanks!

You've captured the entire ethos of our course in this reflection, thanks for sharing and being open to such emergent and new learning!

And, I would suggest, that humor can be quite serious, and a great motivator for deep learning.

I appreciate learning that you're enjoying a sense of connectedness in our course. That's really important. All the various tools that we use are simply means to create more authentic conversations and collaborations among both peers and the public. And yes, I know the same can be done in K-12 settings, too.

And this is precisely why we're using various tools in our course, and working - in some ways - publicly. Why not engage with the authors, creators, and thinkers who are shaping our learning - I'm so glad you did this!

Agreed, I think a couple of my digital stories where blog posts.

I'm so pleased to learn that the conversations we're having with Hypothesis in small groups are supporting divergent, challenging, and perhaps growth-oriented thoughts about your writing, and specifically public writing via blogs. That's precisely what our course is all about - honestly critiquing our preconceptions about media and expression, and leveraging these new thoughts to make change in our own practices. Thanks for being such an engaged and open-minded participant in that process.

As I look over your work, I'm curious about the following questions: How does the use of various digital media and learning technologies strengthen your commitment to teaching diverse learners? And how might such tool use change your teaching practice?

Congrats!

No, not at all.

So here's a related set of questions: What lessons from our course are applicable to your setting? How might you borrow aspects of our course design? How might you encourage learners to pursue their own interests, and then write about that? How to best scaffold learners into a community of practice where writing, peer commentary, and reflection can flourish? I would suggest that our social learning practices in this course can be translated into various K-12 settings.

These are interesting comments for me to read. In one respect, the "apply-on-Monday" approach to ed tech use is something I find perpetuates a system of easy answers and silver bullets. On the other hand, some learning technologies can be usefully applied in classroom settings, perhaps such as Hypothesis.

Here's my bigger question for you: What is motivating the idea that technology should be used in your classroom "immediately"? What is the technology the motivating factor? For me, tools are used in response in authentic problems of practice. For example, I am always concerned with the quality of peer-to-peer conversation. Hypothesis is a useful tool to address that concern. The tool, for me, comes second, second to the primary need for quality communication among learners. When I hear educators talk about "immediately" implementing any learning technology, I'm concerned the tool is being used for its own sake, abstracted from a relevant teaching and learning need.

Does that resonate?

I'm so pleased to learn this, thanks for sharing!

Are there not practitioners in your area of work who are blogging about their experiences with software development, guest services, and leadership? I imagine the lessons from last week's readings are applicable across fields, and that you might challenge yourself to find thought leaders in your professional practice who are using the medium of blogging to share knowledge, build community, and even push boundaries.

Forgot to put the link to a Daily Create yesterday.

Hipster Neighborhood Name

Second Daily Create 1636

Such a far stretch with the Drake's equation and yet such a beautiful analogy. I couldn't help but smile and think of the famous reply in the film Contact to the question whether we are alone in the Universe: “The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.”

Understanding where we're coming from helps us determine where we're going.

I feel like often evolution doesn't happen with an end-goal in mind, but is rather a series of small changes that arise to meet current needs. I feel like the little changes often seem relatively insignificant in the moment, but over time, something can take new form based on the accumulation of little changes. So I think there usually isn't an 'end-goal' in evolution, it's pretty organic.

This is an example of smart project management. They knew the end goal, analyzed the pieces that needed to go into and decided what bits could be grouped together. This was possible because of a static, known outcome.

Or that it is up for interpretation for the viewer, each person gets to choose what it means for them, so transcending when the viewer actually becomes the act of investigation and part of the art itself.

Very hard to imagine, I mean it is really everywhere. I think that in education we just go about showing it's importance the wrong way-

There is so much math in art, I love when teachers allow a little cross curricular planing and we are able to expose the students to multiple ways of seeing the ever dreaded MATH.

This is awesome, glad Hypothesis is serving as a scaffold for your learning!

I can get behind this statement, but I think that "Be the change you want to see in this world" is a better summary of the same concept.

You don't necessarily need to have a vision for world change, but you do need a vision of how you want your world to be if you want to change it. This is where our chosen themes come in.

I chose to my theme based on something that I would like to see changed in the world around me.

This is pretty much what I do at a university level.

I have many friends who are teachers. None of them talk excitedly about their jobs. In fact, one just put in his notice to work at brewery instead. From an outsider to the profession looking in, there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with the status quo.

This makes me think of Paul Bettany as Chaucer in A Knight's Tale.

I think I want this in a poster for the wall- THIS is a inspiration poster!

So well articulated to dispose any previous negative affirmations about digital affinities. Like a discovery of a new color, paint or burn technique.

The digital is just a tool like a pencil or a ruler. Its always been about the student.

For many who can only communicate digitally it is magic and wonder.

This can be a challenging task!

Nice way of putting it! One person's imagination is another's deception

Awesome quote!

Yes! Spread the wealth! Everyone has a right to learn!

I love this!

Well said! I used to be really apprehensive about technology coming into the classroom because I thought it would take away the raw fabric of learning. But it doesn't have to be this way. We can use technology to enhance and even revitalize our learning experience!

Daily Create 1632: Carrot People

Carrot people!

YES!!!!

This is an incredible statement! There is beauty all around us and many times we fail to see it because we are so busy scheduling and running our children around to their "next" class, game and activity.

I'd say we have an explicit obligation

I think it is odd that Pearson is fighting the inevitable instead finding a way to profit from this.

I think the "stable" aspect of each form is what is critical. Its allows for usefulness and purposefulness.

This is a really good storytelling technique and makes the audience feel comfortable.

This is something that comes up a lot in Buddhism. Pema Chodron speaks about it often. Meditating on our discomfort can be challenging. http://www.soulfulliving.com/learning_to_stay.htm

vulnerability is a topic we tend to numb, to distance ourselves from it. Good observation.

excellent observation

I like this idea of a "soft place to land and reflect"

The difference between presenting a researched topic and presenting a topic of direct experience and learning, I guess.

presenting ideas through a narrative is the process of taking ideas and turning them into metaphors.

The connection that makes learning possible!

I am not sure that the students have become the masters, rather the lines drawn between have been erased. We are learning to accept that the best is not always right and that there are many things to learn from each other and this may be more important that learning a single concept. Discovery and the act of research are far more valuable than rote memorization, even if we all come up with different explanations.

This is such a great concept, I am not sure it always works, in our title one school, students do not have the resources at home to really in act a flipped classroom, so some teacher do 'flipped days' to give the students access to the technology required to create the flipped atmosphere.-

I learned this to the hard way as a student at Metro State in the Industrial design program, as students all of our work was 'owned' by the university- So strange, a small group kept their best ideas out of the classroom, and took the lower grade to save the rights to the designs!

I do agree- but we need to teach some responsibilities for posting, reviewing and commenting with younger students. I do love the exploration that is added, a much better way to learn.

I am still a little worried about the use of the word resource here as I am immediately reminded of WIki and what a great starting point for research this is, but a terrible place to pull all your facts from as it is an editable site and the person that wrote it is probably not an 'expert'.

But then again who is an expert these days anyway??

Excellent way of explaining- I now understand your Us and Them to Us and Us!

I am going to read this 12 times- what does it mean?

How do we change the negativity in education around allowing and expecting students to be 'connected' as a resource. I would love to see a class in digital responsibilities at the 6h grade level or maybe even in 5th grade. We have really as a society unleashed this giant tool without an instruction guide or any warning labels. And yet we expect people to use it responsibly?

Beautifully stated! I agree- what do you think it means after reading both articles?

WHOA! YES! I didn't even think of that- what artistry and comedy, and homegrown!

I love how the context of words changes through time! so interesting, like we are "seeing with new eyes" - Gallagher! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5OTUxSIo7c

Very nice, I like how you remixed 2 of my favorite movies :)

Very nice! Can you provide a little bit more context and a link to the ds106 assignment bank project?

Very nice! Looks like you had a good time.

This is fantastic! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this. I'm looking forward to learning how to use a green screen myself in the near future :)

I would agree, images are so powerful-

Ohh, I really hope not- sometimes it may feel that way, but that is why we must never give up looking for an occupation that helps us help others, to keep us all grounded.

Ok I am a nerd for that NY real estate show, and this instantly reminded me of Louis.

Sometime I too feel overwhelmed with the amount of possibilities of selection, I have only just realized that we can select videos... it a learning curve!

I'm rejoicing with you! That's a great accomplishment!

And so did I? I loved the end "76 payments of 19.95!"

I did the same video last year, on the same topic (my son, he was 10 months at the time). I sent it to the grandmas and they thought I made it as a gift to them. Dual purpose! It was great

I LOVE that they start with typography, and how important it is to a film, the credit are the movie, its what starts the imagination.

Interesting that you point this out, I loved it the first watch, and in the second time I found my self observing different things. I think that that is very purposeful production. It's like when we can watch Casino 5 million times, because every time we notice something different.

I love this choice, because he is know as such a mastermind in the industry, The opening is fantastic, the voice, the attitude, so Scorsese.

I love this statement, I think we are all interested in the the lives of others, but how many of us really stop and observe in the moment! Great!

A bit fast, but was it "Storytelling?"

Haha this is great, puts a whole new meaning to the video.

I love your take on this assignment. So creative!

I'm not good at this game, maybe I don't read enough. Nice job!

All of Bob Ross' tv shows are on YouTube now! Great job, I'm not an artist so I can really appreciate your talent.

Fabulous! So Original! I love it!

Beaches! How very summer of you :)

I actually watched this earlier this week and I loved it. I like how you explain how this relates to your focal theme.

But it looks fancy! Great job.

This is great! Origami rocks :)

This is great! I love it, and how you related it to your theme.

Fantastic video. I really like how you spaced the timing in the video with the music.

I have no clue, but this looks really fun! Maybe let us know next week?

Great video Dan. Can you please give a little bit of a description to go along with your assignments (including a link to the ds106 assignment you're creating)?

Sounds wonderful! Great job with the video, very creative and resourceful!

Adorable! I love animals and have two giant Bernese Mountain dogs :) (and 3 cats)

Nice tutorial, I like the dual purpose of it! I'll be honest, I didn't watch the whole thing :).

Isn't it amazing what you can find in your own "backyard"? I need to do this more where I live :)

Love this, want to come babysit for me sometime?

This is interesting. I have thoughts I would like to deliberate publicly, but I would not necessarily want to associate with them because they are only ideas I consider, not necessarily hold.

IMO this is such a novel concept for public deliberation. It is one many contend with privately, I think, but until reading this article I didn't realize it had any wider social validity.

a social system that can openly deliberate is the basis of an open democracy. Not that this is necessarily what we have in the USA, but it's a worthy ideal to strive toward.

opinions that are not informed are vulnerable to propaganda,

again, an excellent and insightful citation.

Affinity spaces and generative environments: thank you for citing these terms!

A common trap that feel like you are participating, but are not.

ILT5340 is doing an excellent job of modeling this

I still find myself taking written notes for memorization and quick referral. I'm sure there are digital tools for this. I've likely signed up for a few. Still find the kinetic act of hand-writing helps memorize concepts the way typing and cutting & pasting just doesn't.

buh-bye gatekeepers!

welcome to the obsolescence of some careers :/

not naming any names...

These platforms are less than 10 years old. I've worked in tech for 25 and kind of' checked out' about 7 years ago, just before this last digital DIY revolution took place. I'm amazed everyday how super easy these platforms make things that used to take teams of people to do.

Indicates the ability to reflect on knowledge and apply in a personal context. nice!

I would venture to say this is the exercise of learning in general. Perhaps.

Yes! And these end up being such complicated questions/answers since things like fair use are a moving target...
