This has me thinking about the ways in which popular culture narratives like TV and movies participate in this lionization, especially with the preponderance of single (often white male) protagonist stories over stories about collective action.

Great examples from educators about their experience with multimodal writing that Cruz Medina referenced in his NCTE20 session, "Rascuache Technology Pedagogy: Making Do with a Confluence of Resources."

This is a fantastic article, published in a journal that includes social annotation as core functionality.

Great resource for shaping "brave writing" experiences for educators and/or students.

And when meaning making is not messy, by means of what process is it "cleaned up"? This has me thinking that "ordered" or "clean" learning is maybe always less, or at least less authentic, learning.

"Pile of Covered Books" by Ryan Adams

Visit the post announcing this MS reading that also links to the annotated text of "Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Reimagining the Canon for Racial Justice".

This has me thinking about how social annotation performs a kind of "estrangement" that maybe breaks down boundaries between the creation/publication and the reception/reading of texts when words from the authors and readers intermix in the same experience.

oh! Annotation is brave because it is "first draft thinking"!

Just heard this from another MS participant too: finding a community of other people out there who share my experience and concerns when that is sometimes hard to find "locally".

Epiphany! Social annotating while reading brings to READING a stance I try to have when WRITING: considering an audience. Do I read differently when my annotations mean my reading has an audience?

Hypothesis is deeply supportive of the Marginal Syllabus community and activities!

I wasn't expecting this third meaning for "marginal"...and its unexpectedness maybe illustrates its power: finding ways to advance professional development/community learning in environments that may not support the exploration of specific views and topics.

I can't wait for this! I love Baltimore and can only start to imagine how Ebony's special skills will tell some of its stories...

You can see a bit of what I think may be Ebony's working space in this 2017 interview she did for her Rona Jaffee fellowship.

Not sure if the lab is still going, but here's an article about its early days.

This would be a great prompt for a reading response: "Is the reading a window or a mirror for you? Why?"

Another of Ebony's parody ads reminds me of the beauty product adds for brands like Goop, that make dubious scientific claims as a part of their sell.

Multimedia > multisensual: How to convey touch through sight? Sound > taste? That seems like a whole world to explore...

This is a cool idea: how a graphic study is actually superior to a text-based study!

This is a success story? Two dead, another shot and the SRO also firing shots?

How can this be seen as anything but an imbalance in priorities? If schools are so dangerous that their security has to be a higher priority even than student mental or physical health, we have a much bigger problem than police in schools can fix.

A strong call to teachers to enter fully into the what's happening...given how many different things teachers are already asked to do, is it too much to ask this of them too? Or is it essential that they do?

Because social annotation enables people to add media beyond text to annotations, like emoji 🤪, images, and videos, it makes it possible to turn any online text into a multimedia following the rascuache principles Cruz Medina talked about at #NCTE2020.
