    1. On an everyday micro level,

      I think we really need to work to articulate why these questions of digital identity and ownership matter on this everyday level too.

    2. ”my views do not represent those of their employer” statements in social profiles.

      Why do people still do this!?

    3. imperfect analogy,

      I think the physical, legal metaphors are fascinating in this piece.

    4. While the land you can see while walking down such paths can feel like public property (and, therefore, partly mine), it is, in actual fact, nothing of the sort.

      But it also isn't yours in the UK, no? I love this metaphor and think it works, but want it further developed...

    5. As the web developed, both in terms of technologies and business models, it became easier to get a space in which you could express your thoughts online. However, instead of sharing these thoughts via a “Top Level Domain” (TLD) such as a .com or .org, you were merely granted space on someone else’s server.

      This was such a critical turning point--one I only personally woke to after the fact. IMO it should be the primary goal of digital literacy curriculum to become aware of and reverse this trend.

    1. This theme, of slowing down to look closely at the world  –or “slow looking” – has become increasingly important to our team. So it’s fair to ask: What do we mean by slow looking? The answer is simple (but not, we hope, simplistic): Slow looking means taking the time to carefully observe more than meets the eye at first glance. It implies lingering, looking long, being generous, almost lavish, with one’s attentional focus, in order to see beyond first impressions.

      Carrie James from Project Zero shared this excerpt from Tishman's post.

      My reaction: Being generous with one's attentional focus strikes me as a mindful act of gratitude.

    1. The answer lies in inviting students to write for public purpose.

      Does this always mean, in public, as in for a public audience, or just writing connected to public, popular themes. Or both? Or sometimes one and sometimes the other depending on the classroom context?

    2. Educators, students, and writers everywhere are encouraged to participate in the platform through Election Day 2016.

      I of course love this project--hypothe.is is a partner--but am curious what kinds of resistance teachers have had more broadly when asking students to write for the public. From students themselves? Parents? And especially administrators? I'm no fan of FERPA but how do such projects circumvent the anxieties of that law?

    1. We paired world class game makers with Alaska Native storytellers and elders to create a game which delves deeply into the traditional lore of the Iñupiat people to present an experience like no other.

      Interested to learn more about this game, Never Alone, referenced in the #2016DML keynote.
