There's no sort of use in knocking,'
The footman's character reminds me of Alice's temperament in last chapter. He is disconnected and hard to communicate with. He is inconsiderate and has his own way to accusing people. But I am surprised that Alice is not loosing her temperament.
Although I have but a few moments to write, I have sat down to tell my beloved sister how it
This reminds me of what we had talked about earlier in the semester about how people would sometimes apologize at the beginnings of their letters for them not being perfect, since letter writing was such a big deal. She seems to want to let her sister know that the materiality of the letter may be a little sub par, maybe her writing was messy or her message was rushed, because she didn't have a lot of time to write it as she says. She also makes sure to say that even though she has so little time she really wanted to make sure to get some news out to her sister, indicating that their relationship was important to her and she truly cared about her. Its cool to see concepts we talked about pop up in different letters that we read.
`I'm sure I'm not Ada,' she said, `for her hair goes in such long ringlets,
This passage reminds me of something Anne Hathaway said in an interview about Alice trying to figure out who she's not by process of elimination. But her thought process is really weird here. The world around her is different, therefore she must be different. Her hair is still the same, therefore she can't be Ada. Alice still has the same physical appearance, and the same thought processes, so how could she possibly be anyone else? And I like how prideful she is when comparing herself to Mabel. It shows that she gets a lot of self-confidence from trying to be smarter than everyone else.
students are asked to share both thecurriculum and the learning of the curriculum.
this reminds me of the similar ideas with an inquiry-based or problem-posing education
At that time Vito Corleone did not know the effect of this smile.
This reminds me of the way Nick describes Gatsby's smile.
forging a campus identity, creating a sense of community, curbing escalating campus density, serving social and recreational needs, providing environmental benefits, and facilitating fundraising and recruitment of both faculty and students
This reminds me of the class discussion we had in class about the "feel" or "identity" of the city of Atlanta, and what caused certain large cities to have a feeling to them. A campus landscape aims to create an identity and a community for its students, just as a city does.
Learning is a lifelong and year-round pursuit, which takes place throughout the campus, not just fragmented indoors in designated instructional spaces
This concept is not as important as it should be in American society. Many schools, from elementary to college, do not put as much emphasis on holistic learning, but rather focus on memorizing information through standardized testing. Learning can and should occur anywhere, not just in a typical classroom setting. In fact, a lot of useful information for life comes outside of the classroom. It reminds me of a quote by Mark Twain “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education”. People should always be in a state of learning, figuring out new things and expanding their minds in multiple ways, not just in narrow subjects that come in school.
While he certainly profits from his celebrity, he seems at the same time to hate the fact that he can no longer completely retain his underground persona. Moore yearns to transcend his status as a commodified cult icon, but this very struggle keeps consumers buying his comics
Kind of reminds me of the hipster stereotype and the whole "things are cool when their underground/indie" mindset.
So by shunning the mainstream and fame, Moore appears cooler to the consumers who turn around and give him the fame he doesn't want? It's like a weird cycle.
This ability to focus one’s attention is essential for effective performance of many of life’s necessary and daily activities, such as acquiring and using selected information; making and carrying out plans; and self-regulation of responses and behavior to meet desired goals
This type of learning reminds me of elementary, middle, and high school when teachers would "teach to the test." There would be no stimulating and "outside of the box teaching". Teachers drilled facts and vocabulary as a result learning fatigue sat in.
“that open space must be treated as a scarce resource” (
This reminds me of how GSU uses every inch in the city to make a new building.
Wiped wire wiped wire.
Reminds me of "red leather yellow leather"
Pat ten
Maybe it's trying to show us how similar words and phrases can be? Kind of reminds me of when I was younger and had to write poetry in class. I would try to see what rhymed.
Human relationships and contact are thoroughly influenced by images of commodities people are made to feel they need,
In some ways, this reminds me of the Jenny Rice article. Individuals are comfortable in this environment of mass media telling them what they need or want to know. Nobody is challenging each other, or learning ideas that are outside of their comfort zone. People are relying on what they think is safe, but they have no other thoughts to contrast these ideas with.
A tourist’s map will guide a visitor to theaters, restaurants, shopping centers, and museums. Meanwhile, every unprofitable location is treated as an abyss on traditional city maps.
This reminds me of Schindler and her ideas
They were taken aback by the amount of control they were given to learn on their own terms. They hesitated, they waited for signals and structures. It was a delicate dance in supporting without commandeering process. I had to practice a certain kind of discipline in mirroring back to them their own inquiries
How do we, as educators, learning experience designers, learning engineers, learning scientists... what have you... approach this balance? How do we provide support and perhaps some structure until those we are facilitating are able to stand on their own?
I love the thought here of mirroring back. It reminds me a lot of my experiences with therapy/counseling. It is not the therapist/counselor who is doing the work but ME. They are there mostly encouraging me, lending a hand where I need it, but largely providing positive support for the tentative steps I take...
Should I now consider myself a learning therapist, or learning counselor? I'll have to ponder it, as I like the possibilities.
they were in charge of their own learning outcomes.
I love this so much. Reminds me of Cathy Davidson's work on the "student-centered classroom."
I learned that they needed time “to steep in it” as they found their way to their own goals.
This reminds me of Dave Cormier's "learning subjectives" from Rhizo 15.
A major issue for K-12: with mandates, pacing plans, standards etc, how do we carve out this essential space for "steeping"?
"This is the crown of the building, a glass box and glass surfaces, because the major requirement was the visual link to the Acropolis.
This reminds me somewhat of the political statement the Athenians were trying to make when initially building the Parthenon complex. It was a one of power and defiance toward the world and more specifically the Persians that had destroyed the past temple. With this new museum Greece is trying to show that not only do they have the perfect place to showcase these pieces but the most ideal facility so that it does not seem like a question of who deserves to have them on display.
The mouse and thepen-based interface allow the user the immediacy of touching, drag-ging, and manipulating visually attractive ideograms. Immediacy issupposed to make this computer interface “natural” rather than arbi-trary.
Thoughts I've gathered so far: I think a contemporary example of remediation is the evolvement of the screen interface. User-interface interaction has developed further to increase immediacy through touch screen technology. This technology allows manipulation of on-screen objects to be less removed and more direct by affording direct touch; and this is arguably more "natural" and an improvement of the original medium. Technology becomes an extension of human ability more seamlessly with immediacy-driven design. Reminds me of Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media: The Extension of Man (1964). E.g. iGlasses an extension of sight. What do you think?
Even when pre-sented with instructions that “anyone” should be able tounderstand and follow, practical troubles still arise. Trou-bles arise in that instructions do not specify the embodiedactions required to realize them.
I think I understand this well. It reminds me of the exercise where students have to explain to someone how to make a PB&J sandwich, but they run into trouble because their instructions have to be more detailed than they expect (such as remembering to tell the person to unscrew the lid to the peanut butter before telling them to spread peanut butter onto one half of the bread).
The experiment with the two boxes reminds me of a psychological experiment. Researchers would have an infant crawl across an elevated section of floor. There would be someone at the end encouraging the infant to crawl towards them. What the infant didn't realize was that a section of the floor was clear plastic and the pattern at the bottom, from the infant's perspective looking down, made t to be one solid floor. The infant saw only the same pattern everywhere, so it was not afraid of the big difference in height as it traversed the false floor.
three billion degree heat
I like the use of exaggeration. It reminds me of my summer complaining.
full of lazy days, blueberry picking, sunsets on the beach, homemade ice cream and spending a week camping and hiking in France
Starts off with nice imagery, and even reminds me of my own summer memories.

This reminds me of when I went to a concert with my dad and everyone in the crowd was extremely energetic
Minutes before he was belting his 1998 hit "Victory" from a riser extending high up into the smoky air of New York's Madison Square Garden, rapper-mogul Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs seemed in search of the right vibes: three bouquets of roses adding a fragrant touch to his cabana-style backstage lounge, a request for some gospel, then some James Brown followed by some Soul Train videos on his big-screen TV. During a quick meeting with production manager Bobby Schneider, he attempted to similarly set a mood for the packed crowd.
I know that Puff Daddy is a very famous performer and he reminds me of the people who don't act all that due to the fact that their famous.

Human rights advocates have condemned the Thai authorities' attempts to suppress even symbolic gestures of protest.
I think this is very strict governing and in some ways reminds me of the governing system in the previous dystopian novels I've read.
govern
"Govern" seems to be an important theme in this poem. The poem is called "Design", and a design must have a designer. However, the poem ends by asking the question if design is even a factor in this miniature world. If design is possibly irrelevant in this world, then does it govern in the realm of humanity? This reminds me of the "The Road Not Taken" as well; the speaker in that poem could have chosen a different path and altered the course of their whole life. Life could just be a series of random events and choices in the end.
the user must be “constructed”; and the consumer must be “caught.”
This reminds me of how the creators of new media and technology want society to be shaped. For instance, they target or create the direction they want people to go in then they use the "caught" method to see if people go the direction they are aiming for. If it doesn't work, they may try a different tactic.
He pointedly left open the creation of cloned
This reminds me of the movie Jurassic World
Bush had restricted federal funding for embryonic stem cell research to cells derived from embryos that had already been destroyed (as of his speech of Aug. 9, 2001). While I favor moving that moral line to additionally permit the use of spare fertility clinic embryos, Obama replaced it with no line at all. He pointedly left open the creation of cloned -- and noncloned sperm-and-egg-derived -- human embryos solely for the purpose of dismemberment and use for parts.
This reminds me of family guy because Stewie and Brian clone themselves.

This reminds me of situations that require morals or ethics, because topics like this are controversial
- Last week, the White House invited me to a signing ceremony overturning the Bush (43) executive order on stem cell research.
Stem cell research reminds me of S.T.E.M learning. Where it may relate to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
These forms of organizational cooperation, that Engeströmet al.(1999)call‘knotworking’, are based on the weaving together of different activitiesaround the emergence of a partially shared object of work which keeps themtogether while also keeping them distinct.
❤️ the term Knotworking .. it reminds me of Jackson and Tarleton Gillespie's "Policy Knot". I wonder what the provenance of this knot metaphor is.
“Follow your passion.” But passion is something you discover over time, by finding an interest, however small, and nurturing it. There’s no epiphany; it’s a collection of small decisions that move you step by tiny step.
Reminds me of Newports essay......
'the medium in itself cannot give rise to social consequences - it must be used'
To me, this essentially equates to 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. Maybe a little extreme and in many people's eyes not even an accurate statement – however, that is irrelevant. It is saying that although the medium may be the message, it's not just the medium that causes the issue, it's how it is utilized. Now, I'm not disregarding the medium and saying it's actually the message that's more important. Rather that a medium is not an issue unless it is being posted on the platform, without the posts (or the messages), the medium itself would be non-existent. This just reminds us the importance of the message too being place on the medium of our choice.
This fragmentation of the gaze allows comics to participate in two different ontological and semiotic fields at once
This kind of reminds me of Schrodinger's cat - a character exists in multiple places simultaneously, and is everywhere at once until we look at a single image at a time and pin the character down there for a while.
Humility and Patience of the Inhabitants
This reminds me of the book we mentioned in class (the name is Looking Towards the East or something). Most of the descriptions of the Indians are written by the European, which, I believe, would inevitably involve some "sympathy" that portrays them as utterly innocent victims.
but behind them all is a conviction that the parables must orig-inally have been simple illustrations of the teacher's point, made in order to help those who had difficulty with abstrac-tions.
Reminds me of what a Joel Osteen does today
He replies that they, his elect, lmow the mystery of the kingdom and do not need to be addressed in parables, but those outside are addressed only thus, "so that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear but not understand
Politics today reminds me of this. A number of Americas hear and perceive but have no understanding.
he substitutes for hina the word hod, "because." This is a substan-tial change, involving a different grammar; Matthew replaces Mark's subjunctive with an ·indicative.
This reminds me of the "misinterpreting Jesus" clip we watched week 2 --Nicole Whitlock
are often seen to embody the generally happy, confident and optimistic mood of the Elizabethans. However, those he wrote during James's reign, such as Macbeth and Hamlet, are darker and more cynical, reflecting the insecurities of the Jacobean period.
Reminds me of the idea that the mythology of older civilizations reflected their quality of life.
C£_nstructivists are also interested in having learners identify iJnd pursue their own learning goals. In the scenario Olympic Games, for exam-ple, the teacher may have some specific learning objecti,·es in mind, but she also wants to provide students with an opportunity to explore and learn something of personal interest.
This reminds me of how I teach my students. Whenever possible, I offer a range of choices for assignments, research projects, etc., and at the end of the semester they usually write in their reviews that they learned a great deal in my course because of the freedom offered to pursue their interests. It works!
divine wind
Reminds me of the typhoon Kamikaze, which saved the Japanese twice from the invasion of the Mongols
This reminds me of Kohn and Vygotsky's theories. Cognitively speaking, play in the classroom would heighten / deepen students' understanding of learning, which would make the integration of ed tech ideal via gaming. I just wonder how this could fit into an English curriculum. particularly in an impoverished area.
I complained it was too heavy, whereupon she gave me a slap in the face
More aggression is shown by the Native Americans here than usual. This reminds of me of the threat to break Mary Rowlandson's face.
This principle describes the eye's tendency to see and separate objects from their surrounding background
The figure principle reminds me of the signaling principal because your eyes are separating objects that it sees important. The signaling principal highlights important information. Both principals go hand and hand with one another.
measures “seat time” but not the quality of learning
This reminds me about a lecture I attended in high school about how it is unfair that teachers are paid for their time rather than their quality of work
nt into Neighbour Eddys & drank tea Polly Pleasent came to see me & her Husband, & hannah Saunders, I went home & John Lawrence & Mrs Chew & Miss Oswald here in y6 evening & becky redman wrote to Mr G after they went am in g
The mention of drinking tea in this diary has left me thinking very deeply and questioning whether or not it is a code. I do know that drinking tea is a cultural norm however instances of drinking tea are a constant throughout and even as things got harder it seemed there was always time for tea. I think that there maybe a hidden meaning behind 'having tea' and it might be code for talking about politics or things like that . I just find it hard to believe that the mention of drinking tea with others is a notable log in a diary such as hers. I reminds me a lot of the diary entry we looked at in the beginning of the semester about the death of a woman's child. The insignificant things were actually telling us that there is more there than meets the eye, or in this case the page.
kind of slow-crawling script, lines of dialogue and stage direction creeping steadily up your computer screen.
Reminds me of reading a book. Just because you're reading words doesn't mean that it can't seem real...
However, Ralph hadlearned a host of new things about crossing a street from hisexperience in Rome, changes in how he should propel him-self, staccato-style, across the street, attitudes about steppinginto traffic
There is nothing quite like experiencing something oneself. This reminds me of social psychology studies that concluded that people are significantly more likely to empathize with another's situation is they share a similar experience.
oaken leaves
This reminds me of the story we read before about the birth of medicine and how the plants were on Man's side.
NoB.!. Fa.ther didu'l give us one penny. I found the money. Mas. LINDE.~. You 'I All tha.t money? NORA. Twelvo hUDdred dollars. Fonr thousa.nd eight hundre<l croWDS.
It amazes me how Nora was luck to get the money just in time so she can save her husband's life. This reminds me of an event that took place recently; my dad won $100 from the lottery which that day was probably his luckiest day because that was the highest he has earned from the lotery. If only luck didn't disappear so fast or came so rarely.Pg. 25
While outdated laws are often overturned when the norms informing them have sufficiently evolved, our exclusionary built environment, which was created in the past, continues to regulate in the present.
This reminds me of the idea of unconscious bias, in that even if one is aware of social issues and passes regulations/legislation against them, there will still be an existing social structure/ideology that is much harder to fight against.
“Can you talk to my mom? Can you tell her that I’m not doing anything wrong on the internet?”
This reminds me of my mom and a lot of my friends moms. My mom refuses to get any social media sites because she doesn't trust them and she would rather I delete mine because she doesn't see any good that can come from them.
he was taken “from a family I’ll never know”
reminds me of a slave narrative
Moreover, the theory suggests that teachers should teach concepts in a particular sequence of developmental steps. In addition, for true understanding, children must learn the concepts underlying mathematical and scientific knowledge, rather than just memorize facts. Piaget would have been critical of"teaching to the test." He crit-icized typical educational assessments for focusing on correct answers rather than on children's thought processes for reaching the answers. In short, a teacher mainly provides guidance and resources so that chil-dren can teach themselves.
Some applications of Piaget's findings. Reminds me of criticism of common core for not being "developmentally appropriate" for kindergartners.
The second rarely ques-tioned hallmark is that changing behavior (learning) requires conditioning through positive and/ or negative reinforcement.
Reward/punishment is substituted for ethical agency (this also reminds me of Kohlberg's stages of moral development)
That’s where hope begins -- with the ability to earn your own living, and to build something you can be proud of. That’s why our policies focus on supporting Cubans, instead of hurting them. That’s why we got rid of limits on remittances -- so ordinary Cubans have more resources. That’s why we’re encouraging travel -- which will build bridges between our people, and bring more revenue to those Cuban small businesses. That’s why we’ve opened up space for commerce and exchanges -- so that Americans and Cubans can work together to find cures for diseases, and create jobs, and open the door to more opportunity for the Cuban people.
This text reminds me of slippery slope, because President Obama goes through a list of sequential possibilities for the Cubans. He starts with hope and the ability to earn a living then ends with the collaboration of the US and Cuba for the greater good.
Ama-zonian groups, such as the Piraha, whose languages do not include numerals above three, are worse at distinguishing large quan-tities digitally than groups using extensive counting systems, but are similar in their abil-ity to approximate quantities.
This reminds me of a similar study on language with the Vai in Liberia (Scribner and Cole 1981) which suggests that formal literacy schooling in English does not give learners higher intelligence or better abstract reasoning skills, only the ability to talk about those skills in "contrived situations." So even though the numerical/literacy system one grows up with influences the way one thinks, it doesn't mean that one system can be prioritized over the other as "better" or "more intelligent."
So I will let it alone and talk about the house.
This line reminds me of what we spoke in class on Tuesday on having unasked questions. The fact that she is going to just let it go and not allow herself to ask herself the questions to help her through her situation is going to affect her negatively. As well as continue on allowing her husband to tell her whats best for her.
Since the artifactual and architectural remains of these communities are a better index of the life of African Americans in their own terms, they hold great promise of supplementing American black history in a different and important way.
This concept reminds me of the "Introduction to Vernacular Architecture" article where it talked about how structures that were ordinary and unremarkable at the time but now have huge potential to offer valuable insight into how people lived and the zeitgeist of their time.
The house has a small central chimney, and with its shingled exterior and six-over-six windows
This is an image of the Turner-Burr house which was structurally different from most vernacular houses of the nineteenth century. In my opinion, the house reminds me of a classic one-story shotgun style home because of the structure's long and narrow frame. Shotgun houses originate from African influences which could be a coincidence or it could be intentional due to the African Americans living in the community. Additionally, for such a small house, there were plenty of windows that acted as a primary light source. Since electricity was not accessible during this time, it makes sense that the building had numerous windows; it was a necessity.

In After Flooding, Some Louisiana Students Face Uncertain School Year http://abcnews.go.com/US/flooding-louisiana-students-face-uncertain-school-year/story?id=41589657 This article speaks of the massive damage sustained to a school after a flood, displacing many students and families and providing uncertain futures. These students were unable to go to school, and some even bounced from house to house after their own was destroyed. Since so many cars were damaged as well, more buses would have to be in operation in order to pick up the same students, some of which are now out of the school district in the effort to find a place to live. This can relate to the text in that this reminds me of how these men were displaced after the war, and received just enough to start over and try to make their own lives. They were also displaced from their homes on a much larger scale, as their homeland was Africa, and they were unable to go back to where they grew up or at least where their families grew up.
The most important part ofthis whole puzzle—the end user, i.e., technical communicator—is often left out ofthe process. The very expressioncontent managementexcludes any idea of writingor communicating and focuses on information independently of the people whoproduce or consume it.
This reminds me of our discussion in class on how most of the user content that we use such as iCollege is really meant for the instructor and not always the student.
the possibility of content management system design that could affordmeans for the writer to use her own text to “keep track of certain pieces of metadataduring composition.”
This idea seems really helpful. It reminds me of what we are doing with our individual class blogs. How we can structure the information from the class in the way we feel is best for us.
Rather than foregoing the status that brick afforded, they put their m oney where it would do the I most good, on the fr
This line reminds me of some topics discussed in "The morbid and mortal toll of sprawl." By investing the money in a small project that would allow the Dubois' to come across as affluent and monetarily sound, they created an outward image, at least on part of the house, that represented this. This is similar to the roads that are being built today. The roads are "built to support sprawl, designed to modern safety standards" (Steuteville 1). In my mind, this is much like the situation with the Dubois house. Many people say that it is safer for drivers, and that in the long run it will work better, however by looking at the statistics, there are more casualties associated with these new roads that with those made before the 1950s. On paper, these ideas may seem much better, but in practice it may not be so.
Two steps can be used to situate those studies vis-a-vis the landscape of usability research, an analysis of the context sur- rounding a particular study and an analysis of the structure of the study itself. The reason for dividing this “situating” into a two-step process arises out of the multidisciplinary na- ture of the usability research project. When we are working inside a discipline, everyone shares values and goals, a com- mon educational platform, and a common world view. We cannot assume that commonality in multidisciplinary work. Thus, the step of articulating the context of a study helps us to better understand why a study is as it is.
This paragraph is noteworthy for two reasons:
its strictest cognitive psychologists aim to build theories of users or of learning and its strictest engineers aim to build systems that solve problems they notice.
This practice in human-computer interaction reminds me of a concept that is utilized in marketing known as "creating personas," which is further discussed in the link below. When marketers want to test whether a product or service reaches audiences, they create templates or "composite sketches," of imaginary individuals within the target audiences. Personas constructed by marketers include basic information such as age, gender, and marital status, as well as personal information such as their interests and hobbies. In terms of human-computer interaction, it sounds like cognitive psychologists also make personas or "theories of users," in order to increase usability. Although Sullivan noted that problems may arise due to the differing goals of cognitive psychologists and engineers, engineers could use information gathered from the psychologists' theories to create more effective solution-based systems.

The Gulf spill elicited an extensive response from citizens, advocacy groups,and environmental organizations around the world. Living and working in acoastal state, I also found that members of my university community respondedto it in their own, more localized ways. Some were engineers who developedstrategies to cap the ruptured well and keep oil from seeping into the coastalestuaries; some were sociologists who interviewed citizens along the coast abouttheir perceptions of the incident; and others were communication experts whoexamined how mass media discourse shaped public understanding of BritishPetroleum’s activities in the Gulf. The spill warranted these varied approaches: itwas not a problem that could be fixed, let alone solved, in any simple sense of theterm. By August 2010, then, at the start of our Fall term, students on campus wereabsorbing information about the incident through multiple avenues (e.g., throughfriends and relatives along the coast, through their classes) and were thus learningabout it as a multi-dimensional problem that could be addressed through theirdisciplines and, eventually, through the rhetorical expertise they would developthrough their experience in the technical writing classroom.
Because the author lives in the gulf area, he was able to see both localized and global responses to the gulf spill. On a university campus, he was also able to witness the various reactions to the spill among several disciplines. His students were also able to absorb information about the oil spill through multiple avenues. Because the spill was such a "wicked problem," it could not be solved in one particular discipline or with one simple solution, so it is important that multiple disciplines were engaged in discussing potential solutions. The concept of multiple disciplines engaging with a wicked problem reminds me of the concept of "dialectic," or a conversation between several people in an effort to find a truth or "essence," of an idea (such as in Plato's Gorgias). In this situation, solutions could likely be found if as many people as possible, from a variety of disciplines, were to engage in a dialogue to narrow down potential solutions.
Part of the political tragedy of the contemporaryMiddle East and Africa, for example, lies in the attempted reconciliation of the Euro-American style territorial state of sharp borders with ethnic and religious identitiesdistributed geographically in ways that do not lend themselves to it.
It reminds me of the Tuareg Rebellion of 2012 in Mali when members of the MNLA strove to get their independence in the North. Mali got its independence from France in 1960 but the Tuaregs wanted to be part of the current Algerian Sahara. As a matter of fact, another cutting was chosen and Mali began to be ruled by the Bambara people. Was the sharp border a great find ? I doubt it
or own property
That women are still denied opportunities to own property (whether it's 1995 or present day) reminds me of the same fact listed in The Declaration of Sentiments back in 1848: "He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns." The wages issue, as we know, remains unequal and wholly unresolved as well.
For example, one prominent Mohegan design, the Trail of Life symbol, explains the "east-to-west passage of spirits,” following the path of the sun
This reminds me of something the read in Dr. Collins American Literature about how natives are very deeply in tune with nature, so this supports that claim.
Today's students fulfill general-education requirements, take specialized courses in their majors, and fill out their schedule with some electives, but while college catalogs euphemistically describe this as a "curriculum," it is rarely more than a collection of courses, devoid of planning, context, and coherence.
This reminds me of last weeks class talking about how limited we are in our education system while being a consumer to our university.
such as visual images and their relationship to the written word
This reminds me of the visual rhetoric class I am taking with Dr. Holmes.
visual design in desktop publishing or the interface of visual and linguistic meaning in multimedia
This reminds me of the digital writing class I am taking with Dr. Pullman.
The free rider problem
This also reminds me of Michael Hechter's article on Sociological Rational Choice theory in 1997. In describing how members of church face a collective action problem, Hechter explains that strict churches often impose 'costly and esoteric' requirements on their members, which helps them solve 'free riders' problem as only those who are really committed to church will join the church, making churches more successful and strong.
This is because readers identify and sympathise with the emotions and ideas of the characters, a skill which they can then reproduce in real life.
I believe this is true. I’m watching a new show on Netflix and I can identify myself with the main character. The way she thinks, makes decisions, relates with family and friends reminds me of myself and the way I act sometimes.
Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others
This reminds me of our last class when speaking about Henry Adams and the term epistemology. How Du Bois knows he is different, is by the effect of this one girl refusing his card.
Men call the shadow prejudice, and learnedly explain it as the natural defence of culture against barbarism, learning against ignorance, purity against crime, the “higher” against the “lower” races.
This sections language really points to and confronts the ignorance from so long ago that is still present with us to this day. The reference to “higher and lower races” as well as “barbaric” really reminds me of European and Spanish colonization of the new world, which they deemed legal and noble because they had to “civilize” all non-Christians. Also the term leaning against ignorance shows the nature of this sort of twisted logic.
only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others
This is a super interesting theory that holds a lot of truth. You are aware of your value through the perceptions of others. It's a kind of voyeurism, really, as you are always watching yourself through someone else. It reminds me of the novel Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson and how the main character realizes his mixed race and suddenly sees himself in the mirror, from the outside. He then notes every experience, every thought, every action of his is "colored" from that moment on.
appear wishing him well and offering helpful advice.
this reminds me of reddit, actually, in particular /nosleep. In stories like "there are people outside my window during blackouts" the author will include remarks about the comments on the story.
oratory is not the pla
The idea that a more common/familiar setting might produce different results reminds me of the TV show "What Would You Do". Hidden cameras are set up in stores, restaurants, etc. and actors act out scenarios that cause bystanders to decide to help the situation or mind their own business. The show doesn't necessarily observe levels of obedience but it does comment on how people behave when presented with morally-compromising dilemmas. I think the show also does a good job of eliminating gender/racial bias, because they often have multiple actors/actresses perform the same scene to see how different people react. Also, similar to how the subjects talked to the experimenter after Milgram's experiment, the host of the show always comes out, revealing the hidden cameras/actors and asks the ordinary people why they acted the way they did. I've seen episodes where because of their inability to act, the faces of the people are blurred or they refuse to comment. Usually, however, those who stepped in to act as a hero are shown expressing signs of relief and explaining that they had to do something to help the situation, regardless of repercussions.
ychological research re-quire the experimenter to balance his career andscientific interests against the interests of hisprospective subjects
The subject is also vulnerable to the experimenter's expectations and biases. I think it's probably very difficult, even for the well-intentioned researcher to prioritize the participant...and thus pushes boundaries that he/she otherwise wouldn't have. At the same time, it may be difficult for others (e.g. lab assistants, colleagues, etc.) to question or go against the experimenter when they feel something isn't right (which sort of alludes to the whole notion of obedience and authority). Therefore, it's important that such individuals are trained/reminded of their ability and need to raise any concerns. (This reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment).
there; it dug a cavern with four chambers. Then dark clouds gathered and rain began to fall. "Have you anything with you that may help you?" asked the god. "I have nothing," said the Navajo, "but four sprays of spruce, which the Yàybichy bade me pluck from the tree on which I descended into the cañon the night I left the Ute camp." "They will do," said the wind god. "Make quickly four balls of mud and thrust through each ball a twig of the spruce, and lay them on the ground so that the tops of the twigs will point towards your enemies The Navajo did as he was commanded.
reminds me a little bit about the bible and building the Ark for he has taken direct directions from the divine to construct something
If you’re only pointing to your own stuff, you’re doing it wrong. If you want fans, you have to be a fan first. If you want to be noticed, you have to notice. Shut up and listen once in a while. Be thoughtful. Be considerate.
I really like this statement because not a lot of people follow this rule. It reminds me of the statement "respect is a two way street, you have to give it to get it." This follows that same aspect. Other people don't always want to hear about you, eventually they get bored. Sometimes you need to reciprocate the favor. It's not always a competition.
So study the great stories and then go find some of your own. Your stories will get better the more you tell them.
This reminds me of a piece of advice I saw from a comic artist: in order to find a style of comic art you like to create, trace someone else's comics until you know their style, then adapt the style to fit you and use it to tell your own story. It's so much harder to build something from scratch- why not build on scaffolding? As long as what you create is yours in the end, studying others can only help us improve.
The figurines seem meant to be clasped in the hand or dangled from the neck
This reminds me of Conkey's exceptional description of how female body parts have been considered and analyzed. She too describes the body parts that are purposefully made to "stand out" and the body parts that are blurred-- that are perhaps less important. She expands on why this could be similarly to what's written here, stating that when a figurine does not have hands and feet it is readily possessed and seemingly passive. I find the word passive in this context the most complex to think about, not knowing how the women of 30,000 years ago thought about these representations of themselves. I also find this especially interesting looking through a modern lens, considering current issues on gendered subject-object relationships and the fight for women to have complete autonomy over their own bodies.
whatever its neural or social mechanics, the moment of self-consciousness was inseparable from one of distanciation and self-loss: from seeing oneself as Other, as not known, as threatened or threatening, as ‘taboo’. The true cognitive depth to the palaeolithic sculptures – their challenge, ultimately, to our anthropological schema – seems to me the way they suggest how self-loss and self-consciousness were intertwined.
This excerpt is fascinating to me in a way I don't know how to explain. The idea that these Paleolithic works are perhaps a way to reconcile the ever growing separation of the human species from the rest of the natural world, and maybe to even immortalize or celebrate being only a small part of it, goes against some of the most popular philosophies surrounding the human condition. The ability to create, from tools to creative pieces, is something that is usually considered the most distinctive quality of mankind that differentiates us from all other animals and assert our superiority over them. This notion of Paleolithic art's function to express a desire to return to Rousseau's "natural state" and mourn its loss is, in my opinion, both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking. How lonely must it have been to realize you are different from everything in the world around you, and to know you cannot ever belong. It reminds me of Adam & Eve cast out of Eden with the knowledge they have gained of the human condition, and the weight of knowing they could never return.
child who should build up his nation
This reminds me of the whole "child of two worlds" trope. Having a mixture of both that is meant to lead a nation seems to be a common theme, especially in ye old times (i.e. Hercules, etc).

This idea that we will suffer tremendously with the whole world was pretty accurate. Seabury is saying that if we hinder other countries progress, we will lose out big time in the end. Personally, I agree with Seabury regardless of what actually ended up happening. He thought rationally, it reminds me of the saying that "A rising tide lifts all the boats" -New England Council. Moreover, meaning that a well doing by each economy across the world is a better economy for each country. This idea seems to be pretty prevalent throughout Seabury's letter. http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/230520/origin-of-a-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats
I told them the truth, I did not show them a location that was true, no.
This reminds me very much of the movie Gone Girl. In the movie a man is accused of murdering his wife and his defending lawyer says not to worry because if they can't find a body or a location of the murder than he is okay. The most important things in a homicide case are a weapon, the location of the homicide, and a body. Not only does the states timeline not match the interviews of Jay and Adnan, but they do not even know for sure the location of where the murder happened. Heres a website that talks about all of the most important evidence in a homicide case: http://www.practicalhomicide.com/articles/HomCrimeSc.htm
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
Reminds me of being in high school and taking college courses at the same time. Felt like some of of my high school classes were more useful, and vise versa at other times.
The year 1900 was not the first to upset schoolmasters.
I just found this line funny. It’s true that any kind of progress or change is always met with fear from someone. Change can certainly be bad, but it seems that it’s always assumed to be bad in some way or another. Kind of reminds me of all those “millennials are ruining [insert random thing here]” articles that people have been writing lately.
the dynamo became a symbol of infinity
This sentence reminds me of our class session this past Tuesday, the dynamo may be a symbol of advancing forward but just keeping in mind that the things that move us forward may also destroy us.
Hideaway Girl xxx
Even though we know what she enjoys and so on. We truly don't who she or even he is. Which just makes this blog extraordinarily interesting. It allows the writer to explain and write how they how they perceive and want other to see them just through a simple name. It reminds me of the TV show "gossip girl".
Have you read the fine print of the Terms of Service?
I have never thought about how much we as consumers think we own in this world, but in reality nearly everything is apart of a terms agreement not a direct ownership. All of Watters examples are interesting to dive into, especially since many individuals "own" various streaming services. This lending of what we think is ours from these companies reminds me of my cellphone. I tell everyone that my iPhone is mine, but is it really? I mean my phone carrier and government have the right to take the device from my possession should they deem confiscation as an appropriate manner so in reality I am just a borrowing consumer. I guess we all are in one way or another.
She works hard for the money, but she works even harder for pizza.
The author opens this article with a humorous eye catching line. Everyone loves pizza and everyone loves money. According to the statistics the author provided in this article people would choose pizza over money. Pizza provides people more motivation to get work done then a bonus check. This article reminds me of the time I worked at Dairy Queen, and there is a yearly event called "free cone day", but to the workers known as a day in hell. It is the worst day to work and I got stuck working it. My coworker and I walked into work miserable, and my boss could tell. She told us once the shift was over she would buy us pizza. Surely we got through that shift just knowing we would get pizza in the end.
I hardly ever go on my phone. My phone hardly connects to WiFi or gets signal. So whenever I do get WiFi, I go on it but my parents still go ‘You’re always on your phone. Get off it and socialise!’ I don’t want to socialise, I want to get a new high score on flappy bird. (yup, I have flappy bird on my phone. It’s that old.)
This reminds me of the way my parents harass me for always being inside because I have school and music work to do.
turns experiences from the material world that used to be densely physical…into frictionless, weightless, and fantastic abstractions.
This specifically reminds me of when people take photos of food because it almost negates the visceral joy one gets from dining out with others and compresses it into a few pixels. It doesn't quite capture the full experience of taste, smell, socialising, etc.
He kind of reminds me of Forest Gump, He doesn't quite mean for his life to be what it is or what it became but he's accomplished so much and he overcame so many obstacles. It's admirable and endearing.
Decisions about infrastructure shape more than just the physical city; those decisions also influence the way that residents and visitors experience the city.17
This reminds me of a brief rumour I'd heard about Hurt Park's changes in the previous year. A few of my friends had spoken about how sitting areas were being replaced by flowers under the premises of beautifying the area but really were trying to deter the homeless from resting in the area.
And cities were constructed in ways—including by erecting physical barriers—that made it very difficult for people from one side of town to access the other side
Reminds me of the Berlin Wall separating East and West Germany
In the case of the cafeteria, the architectural constraint is that it is physically difficult to reach or see the junk food, and thus it is harder to access.
This reminds me of my school somewhat. Our cafeteria workers would make the fruit most accessible by placing buckets of them near the register. It might even be comparable to placing the gum and soda at the front of the grocery store instead of in their designated places. I believe that this system promotes impulse buys of thinking, "I could use more fruit" or "I think i'm thirsty, lemme grab a drink" in order to provide easy access to the consumer. The easier to access the more likely the customer will purchase the product. It makes me ponder how stores are set up and what "easily accessible items" I have been suckered into buying.
domain and all its content are the student’s to take with them. It is, after all, their education, their intellectual development, their work.
Reminds me of a digital Portfolio that people can access and share with others as much as they want and whenever they want.
In episode 4, Sarah Koenig focuses on the inconsistencies in Jay's story. She shines light on the differences in his story between each interview and it leaves us questioning why it keeps changing. These inconsistencies have created a lot of doubt in my mind and kept me wondering how much of Jay's story is true, if any. Bill Ritz tells Koenig that, “we were able to investigate and corroborate what he was saying.” This confuses me because very large details have been changing in the story. I do not know how Bill Ritz and the investigators got to that conclusion but from what I know right now I do not believe that Jay is innocent. I think that he is hiding something and it could be the key to this entire case. This case really reminds me of the documentary Making a Murderer. In the show the man is accused of murder and there is a substantial amount of reasonable doubt. During the investigation the mans nephew comes out and tells police that he helped and that Steve Avery, the main character, is guilty. However, there are many details that keep changing in his story and it leaves you wondering if any of it is actually true and if so, how much of it. It is a very interesting show and I recommend that everyone gives it a watch. You can watch it here (https://www.netflix.com/title/80000770)
From my five arms and all my hands,
I think the idea behind this is “having many things to do” but also “having many possibilities.” I don’t think this was what was intended, but it also reminds me of Hindu deities who are often portrayed with many arms to show superhuman power.
They feed they Lion and he comes.
Reminds me of a dog who is conditioned and comes to the person they know will feed them. Primal Instincts?
The repose of the hung belly,
reminds me of a guy with a beer belly sitting in his "man chair" asking for another beer. Maybe representing contentment in the wrong kind of way.
How about the Wedding Industrial Complex, a specialized niche of our economy that churns out diamond rings, event venues, cakes, bride and bridesmaid gowns, invitations, DJ services, photography…etc. for consumption by the two people tying the knot.
Yes! Many businesses associated with providing the necessary services and products for the wedding are benefited when two people decide to tie a knot. This reminds me of Collin's explanation of 'conflict tradition'. Collins states that from 'conflict tradition', we learn about 'the economics of culture'. He also goes further and describes that 'ideas are weapons and their dominance is determined by the distribution of social and economic resources'. In my opinion, this relates to the recent need (trend) for doing something "unique" & "different" than others. People are ready to pay more than usual if the service or the product they are getting is unique. That involves services and products from all the different parts of the Wedding Industrial Complex.
I’m loving it so far
This just reminds me of the line from Hamilton, I'll be honest.
A great number of the remonstrances
Here fisher is talking about x, which reminds me of Y and brings to mind 3 questions: ABC
They have dealt with intruders for thousands of years. I want to share this side of Egypt with you.
It's really interesting how she jumps from tourists adjusting to "intruders". It reminds me of this book called A Small Place by Kincaid who talks about tourists in a postcolonial tone, talking to them as intruders... not usually how I think Egyptians feel about tourists, to be honest, but it's an interesting point.
chivalric
Reminds me of the Knights code of honor
This piece reminds me that concerns about equity in making (and, broadly, the so-called "Maker Movement") have become the focus of some very sharp learning scientists. Here are a few examples: Making Through the Lens of Power and Culture
On Equity Issues in the Maker Movement, and Implications for Making and Learning
In a very real sense, my theory about bots as a form of civic engagement grew out of my own creative practice
Reminds me of my experience contributing to the Civic Media Project.
we talked about the importance of adopting practices that keep complexity in our educational processes,
This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, from Patricia Williams's The Alchemy of Race and Rights:
That life is complicated is a fact of great analytic importance.
O, shared governance! Where have you gone
Reminds me of O Brother Where Art Thou?
The discovery of this new lesion might call some of their conclusions about the functions of the medial temporal lobes into question and require a re-examination of all that old data.
Reminds me of the arguments about patient NA.
But if we are to defeat colonialism and capitalism, we cannot do so one person at a time, or one interaction or relationship at a time.
Reminds me of the old "think global, act local".

Reminds me of Robots Reading Vogue, in which one experiment Fabricspace tried to cluster terms describing fabrics.
the details of life as it is lived and the people we live it with
It seems that there a number of ways to do this- this reminds me of the turn to more "realistic" children's literature in the UK in the 50s - really great to diversify, but it also overlooks imagination, and the many different reasons people read.
real world
Also reminds me of bad arguments based on a binary between the 'real' world and academia.
They are just given too few opportunities to do so.
Assumption here is that unless we "give them opportunities" to socialize, they won't. Exactly the same assumption many in education have: if we don't teach them they won't learn. Rubbish. I am confused here. Surely someone who has spent so much of her research life being in on teen zeitgeist would not ever take teen agency away. I see teen agency all the time, just not in my adult spaces.
Reminds me of this cultural appropriation:
You can not talk a student into being a critical thinker. We have to let them think and provide feedback.
reminds me of the growth mindset discussion
They brought a central question: What were the effects of preschool home and community environ-ments on the learning of those language structures and uses which were needed in classrooms and job settings?
Reminds me of conversations we've had on grounded theory: this seems like a question that originated in the community (was a concern of parents) and that Heath followed up with using empirical means.
And it’s got me thinking about the story I told you twelve years ago tonight, about my Kansas grandparents and the things they taught me when I was growing up. They came from the heartland; their ancestors began settling there about 200 years ago. They were Scotch-Irish mostly, farmers, teachers, ranch hands, pharmacists, oil rig workers. Hardy, small town folks
We've traveled from the immigrant narrative to white, midwestern, salt of the earth narratives. Barack's multi-racial identity has allowed him to play with authenticity from several, often competing, narratives. Here he chooses one that goes at the heart of Trump's authenticity claim: a "real" (i.e. white) America. Barack reminds us that he, too, has a legitimate claim on white America.
so that a voice might glorify the god in that deserted place.
Again hinting at religion. This phrase reminds me of a Christ character who spreads the message of God.
it may be that talk and writing are really aids to learning
reminds me of the idea that if we can teach it to someone we understand it better
Offer a variety of options as evidence of success-ful learning outcomes
This reminds me of changing the mindset towards failure. I feel like adults, possibly more than students, fear failure because it has been instilled in them for so long that failure is long. I think it's important to emphasize that some of the outcomes might first appear as "failure" but that in itself is another learning opportunity.
Playing is something that we do just "for the fun of it.
This is my favorite out of all of the pieces. It reminds me of the "news" that we put on every week in this program. To me, the news symbolizes that we are true learners. It's not required, it's not for a grade, but every week we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to create a skit or parody or try new technology while we film. We are actively learning, participating, and collaborating, and it never feels forced. We truly do it because we enjoy the creative process and sharing it with our fellow classmates and that is what play reminds me of.
Creative people think dimensionally when they change the scale of things, when they take two-dimensional information on blueprints and construct them in three dimensions, or vice versa.
This reminds me of the maker's project. How do we build and question to make things...
Creative people use Abstracting in order to concen-trate on one feature of a thing or process, in order to boil it down to basics and grasp its essence
This reminds me of the article of how people learn. Also, reminds me of remixing and making new ideas
echnology is funda-mentally changing how we interact with information and with each other.
= This reminds me of the Edge readings that we learned about in team teaching. Many of our topics stressed that Internet is changing the way we interact.
These authors argue that schooling needs to be fundamentally reconfigured to emphasize higher-order cognitive processes, such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, curiosity, and adaptability.
This reminds me of the Wicked Problem from earlier. We aren't necessarily keeping education relevant to the skills that kids actually need.
From cell phones to Websites, from YouTube videos to multi-player games like World of War craft, technology is funda-mentally changing how we interact with information and with each other.
= This reminds me of the article I read from The Edge, as well as the articles that my classmates have presented on, all answering the question, "Is the internet changing the way that we think." Resoundingly, the answer seems to be yes.
A Postcolonial Look at the Future of #EdTech
Timely. Sent it to a few people, already, as it connects with several discussions we’ve been having on neocolonialism in EdTech, including the content side of Open Education (OER). Some of it reminds me of Crissinger’s critical take on OER, based on her experience with Open Access.
spiritual senses of the occultist as are externally perceptible colors to the physical eye. This etheric body can actually be seen by the clairvoyant. It is the principle which calls the inorganic materials into life, which, summoning them from their lifeless condition, weaves them into the thread of life's garment.
This reminds me of the diabetes and heart disease epidemic. If through forced choice you can engender a species of people to change the make up of their blood through outside chemicals and OVER FEEDING everyone sugar rendering most people diabetic you can in essence control the emerging medical needs of a society dependent on new forms of health care and medicines. The obama care state.
The military’s contributions to education technology are often overlooked
Though that may not really be the core argument of the piece, it’s more than a passing point. Watters’s raising awareness of this other type of “military-industrial complex” could have a deep impact on many a discussion, including the whole hype about VR (and AR). It’s not just Carnegie-Mellon and Paris’s Polytechnique («l’X») which have strong ties to the military. Or (D)ARPANET. Reminds me of IU’s Dorson getting money for the Folklore Institute during the Cold War by arguing that the Soviets were funding folklore. Even the head of the NEH in 2000 talked about Sputnik and used the language of “beating Europe at culture” when discussing plans for the agency. Not that it means the funding or “innovation” would come directly from the military but it’s all part of the Cold War-era “ideology”. In education, it’s about competing with India or Finland. In other words, the military is part of a much larger plan for “world domination”.
the hunger artist averred that he could fast as well as ever
This reminds me of professional athletes. They are in their prime for awhile and then no one wants to sign them because they're getting old.

This reminds me of people who can't find their passions in life. They feel no vitality and slowly wither away.
Here’s the video:
nice robot narration! reminds me of a near-end Soviet times when American movies started to seep into Russia illegally. They were all dubbed in this very same voice :) Also, this video touches on an important aspect: in the example of cooperative ownership in USSR particularly the lack of responsibility. Collective ownership works when people have a common goal that they collectively believe in, instead of a prescribed agenda by the administration and have power to make collective decisions. That is why Linux worked -- it was build by people who saw the ultimate goal and believed in common good. And I love the idea of Library of Objects! A bit wacky video and the website itself, but a lot of food for thought! I am in love with their Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/epSosMedia/
nonintervention
This reminds me of the nature documentaries when the film crew films a dying elephant without intervening. But this is a different situation in which nonintervention is not the same as letting nature take its course in the case of the elephant. Nonintervention here means allow atrocities to occur. This leads to the question, is documenting atrocities to let the public know the true horrors worth letting other humans die?
Schools were designated to teach mill children everything from manners to morals; schoolteachers became preachers for the culture of the townspeople. They were charged to teach health and sanitation habits, grammar, self-control, neatness, and obedience. If mill children were to grow up and become voters, they would have to learn to read and write and to reform their "barbaric" "wild" ways.
This reminds me of Catholic missionaries 'saving' third world communities by bringing God (and manners, and English) to them. Fascinating how this process can also proceed within local boundaries amidst a community.
“I’m wary of promises that more technology is the answer to problems caused by the overuse of technology,
Reminds me of gun nut argument: the solution to mass gun death...is even more massive gun ownership. Tech solutionism is ubiquitous and corrupting.
In year “2000”, a man named Cl was framed for robbing a liquor store in the middle of the night.
This reminds me of a scenario that my uncle went threw, he was once accused of assaulting a cop when in reality he was trying to speak to the cop but he was assaulted. If we weren't there to capture the moment on our phones my uncle would be facing serious time. It seems as if this is a constant problem in our society but no one seems to speak up. Is because of fear?.
It puts faith in the notion of something will be planted somewhere, and the world will continue.
Reminds me of the novel, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn where he talks about givers and takers.
allow attention to fragment rather than focus
This reminds me of the TED talk that we watched in class today from David Allen when he talks about the idea of being able to focus
Similarly, young children have been taught to demonstrate powerful forms of early geometry generalizations (Lehrer and Chazan, 1998) and generalizations about science (Schauble et al, 1995; Warren and Rosebery, 1996).
This reminds me of the "Marshmallow Challenge," where kindergarteners often-times outperform college kids due to their propensity for learning by trial and error. This also reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's book (forget which one... I think David and Goliath) where Gladwell describes various scenarios where kindergarteners outperform adults.
It is important to not underestimate the abilities of our students (especially the young ones) and this research shows the power of inquiry based teaching.
An important characteristic exhibited by the history expert involves what is known as “metacognition” —the ability to monitor one’s current level of understanding and decide when it is not adequate.
I love this. Once you reach a certain level of expertise, you're more likely to accurately determine the limits of your own knowledge. It reminds me a lot of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I loved the poem on the blog from yesterday. I had commented but my comment did not show up.
This reminds me of the wm carlos wms poem
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox
and which you were probably saving for breakfast
Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold
One of the things that is oft-repeated in our line of work is “it’s not about the technology,” or “it’s not about the tool!”
This reminds me of how people use to defend "Birth of a Nation" for it's technical filmic accomplishments without interrogating how those innovations were also bound up with the film's racism.
Explore different cultures
This reminds me of another TED Talk I saw this week at my Fellowship- The Danger of a Single Story
our current model leaves little room for divergent thinking.Much of the blame for a lack of creativity, and therefore innovation, can be traced to our traditional educational systems.It relies on teaching to the correct answer
This reminds me of the two mindsets from "New Literacies" and what the chapter discussed about hos schools inherently train students a certain way, and that that way is not exactly appropriate for what the future careers in our lives need.
A mash-up is a web page or application that “uses content from more than one source to create a single new service displayed in a single graphical interface.”8Hence it uses a heterogeneity of components to produce a homogeneity of function.
Fascinating. The reminds me of my hopes and dreams for the hypothes.is activity pages...
The lumbering ox drawing green beech logs to mill,
Adore this line of present participles, logs-ox, and what reminds me of the zen series of ox pix.
allowing students to interrupt the scheduled lesson
This reminds me of a student of mine who wanted to disrupt the lunch schedule because she felt it interfered with her progress. especially when working on engineering projects. Her question was why couldn't she just eat lunch whenever she wanted, whenever she was hungry, regardless of a schedule?
smartphones and streaming movies; driverless cars and social media; Jumbotron screens at football games and video games connecting thousands of players around the world; every conceivable consumer product available on the Internet for rapid home delivery; astounding increases in the productivity of labor through novel automation technologies; and more.
This reminds me of "One-Dimensional Man", Herbert Marcuse.
How do the professors and staff structure the learning process so that use of DoOO is not yet another required course task but one that is empowering? How do you move from a tool taught by a professor to one a student can use as she chooses? How can we use DoOO within a course framework while not inhibiting students’ own creative impulses? Students are often at a loss as to what to do with all this unstructured freedom, or maybe don’t yet believe that they are capable of this type of work. How do we create a safe space where students can practice that freedom?
Reminds me of Andrew Rikard's article: http://andrewrikard.com/essays/2015/10/23/domain-grade-it.html
Writing in them is the closest I come to regular meditation; marginalia is — no exaggeration — possibly the most pleasurable thing I do on a daily basis
This catharsis reminds me of an anecdote a classmate in a modernism class once shared with me. She said that her mother was an editor for a publishing company and decided one day to pick up a copy of William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." She was apparently so distraught by Faulkner's flagrant disregard of grammar, spelling, and syntax in Benji's chapter that she reorganized the entirety of the first two narratives with her own marginalia. Of course, following the expansive traditions of new criticism (and Barthes) this text would be viewed in academia as a completely different text.
In other words, none of them was prepared to admit to Nike’s double standards on women’s rights. This is troubling because, while underreported, evidence of Nike’s ongoing sweatshop exploitation is easily accessible, particularly to the women’s rights community.
It is like Nike is choosing which women the company will support. The company will empower some women, but not those who Nike exploits in the sweatshops. This reminds me of the movie Suffragette because women were fighting for the right to vote but not for every woman, just for a select group of women.
“pride of their parents”
Nice job pointing back to the most important part of the quote for the assertion. I was looking at the rest of this page in Livy, and it also says that the Romans promised their parents that they would "share all the fortunes of Rome" etc. This reminds me of R and R's "sharing" with the shepherds earlier. Is this a redeeming value in an otherwise immoral episode?
But they railed at Odysseus with angry words: “Stranger, to thy cost dost thou shoot at men; never again shalt thou take part in other contests; now is thy utter destruction sure. Aye, for thou hast now slain a man who was far the best of the youths in Ithaca; therefore shall vultures devour thee here.”
There's no internet in these times so no one knows what Odysseus actually looks like. This kind of reminds me of the movie Braveheart, when William Wallace is rallying the troops and some of the soldiers don't believe that he actually is William Wallace. Just one of these things that I find interesting.
It’s about the ways in which people coming together to learn can produce a really unexpected set of outcomes that you couldn’t predict, you wouldn’t want to or be able to predict.
Reminds me of the recent #digped convo on online learning vs learning online, and the metaphor we worked of an LMS being a frame for a portal to experience- like glasses or a painting. I stand by the experience is in the ACTION, and I think that is supported here, though Amy may say in the CONNECTIONS or RELATIONSHIPS.
I have found that often those issues that we fi nd the most diffi cult to discuss—issues that are perhaps a little too close to home—students can discuss more readily through literature that seems to distance the matter.
This reminds me of EDU 311 because Dr Bower-Phipps has told us this as well, especially for students who have trouble talking in class. When speaking through someone or something else then it is easier for them to say what is on their mind
Tori Hinn
It is so sad that there are only very limited information related to the Tori Hinn on the Internet. But i still found some graphic design she did when she was studying i the RISD. Here is the one reminds me one of the principles of design, figure/ground. It is easy to see there is a word site hided behind the word PARA, which is a smart use of Negative Space.
I love cereal, but how cereal and I have a tricky relationship. I could tell volumes of accounts of my favorite cereals, meaningless from an outside perspective. I could ramble on about phases that I went through, cereals that I used to like that I don’t like anymore, cereals that I like now that I didn’t before. I could bore you with how I felt during the period of life when I ate Frosted Flakes everyday or what eating Raisin Bran (with TWO scoops of raisins) reminds me of. The truth is that over time, they all lose their charm (especially Lucky Charms which just don’t taste as mind-bendingly delicious as they did in 2004). They all begin to taste the same after the first few bites. What I’m really concerned with here is what makes cereal CEREAL, the second of cereal’s two ingredients. It’s what makes the sugary, shredded up wheat and corn flakes into a transcendent and beloved American breakfast meal. I’m talking about milk.
This all came straight from my pen. This passage essentially constituted my free-write from that day. The subject matter is something that was easy for me to get excited about, especially because it's something that I think/talk about frequently. I knew, however, when the allotted time finished, that I wanted to go further. I wanted to bring it full circle and articulate what this goofy chunk of writing really revealed about me.
To encourage larger societalparticipation in archival endeavors, archivists are called to relinquish their role as authorita-tive professionals in order to assume a more facilitative role in crucial archival practices of ap-praisal, description, and development of access systems.
This is an interesting idea. Reminds me of what Sam has been trying to do in Wisconsin.
"I ask you to look into your hearts--not in search of charity, for the Negro neither wants nor needs condescension--but for the one plain, proud and priceless quality that united us all as Americans: A sense of justice.
Connection: This reminds me of MLK's speech and how he longed for social justice and the unification of blacks and whites.
The bill passed by the Senate outlaws discrimination in places of public accommodation, publicly owned facilities, employment and union membership and Federally aided programs. It gives the Attorney General new powers to speed school desegregation and enforce the Negro's right to vote.
Connection: This reminds me of Brown v. Board of Education because of the whole idea, "separate, but equal" phrase. I think in this article however, this dissolves that idea.
Though the ringing bells try to remind me of the time, Gasson rises above all else to point heavenward.
My original analysis was attempting to describe Gasson’s significance in a straightforward analysis. The idea I was trying to articulate was that Gasson reminds me of the goals I had when I first saw it so I could rise above the daily stresses to reflect. My first few attempts at this felt clunky after the narrative. Even after a few rewrites, I decided to discard that idea completely and start over with what I felt was most compelling in the final sentences of the previous paragraphs. In the past, I would not have been so willing to change the direction of a piece in this way. In the end, I really enjoy the direction this writing went.
harkens back to Drake’s masterpiece
Agree: "Feel No Ways" is a really good song, and it reminds me of the songs on Take Care that made Drake famous.
illuminating all the motionless world of Time between,
reminds me "Wasteland" no present, lack of life and not dead.
