    1. Résumé de la vidéo [00:00:06][^1^][1] - [00:03:29][^2^][2]:

      Cette vidéo explore la question complexe de l'identité des parents d'un enfant dans le contexte contemporain. Elle aborde les changements dans la définition légale et sociale des parents, soulignant que la notion traditionnelle d'un seul père et d'une seule mère est désormais remise en question. La vidéo met en lumière la diversité des structures familiales, y compris les familles recomposées et monoparentales, et suggère que les parents peuvent être tous les adultes qui s'engagent dans l'éducation d'un enfant.

      Points forts: + [00:00:06][^3^][3] Définition traditionnelle des parents * Les parents sont généralement considérés comme le père et la mère * Cette définition est ancrée dans la tradition et le droit * La vidéo remet en question cette évidence longtemps acceptée + [00:01:07][^4^][4] Familles recomposées et monoparentales * Un enfant peut avoir plus ou moins que deux parents * La structure familiale évolue et la loi doit s'adapter * La vidéo reconnaît la complexité des rôles parentaux + [00:02:01][^5^][5] Parentalité et éducation * Introduction du terme "parentalité" pour décrire le rôle éducatif * Les éducateurs et les professionnels peuvent participer à la parentalité * La vidéo encourage une réflexion sur notre vocabulaire familial

    1. Alan Clark Agreed...also; learning = change in behaviour, is another widely held belief.

      Reply to John Whitfield: I think that one is mostly a semantic issue. In some definitions of learning, learning does equate to a change in behavior. In parenting for example, how is learning measured? If the behavior is changed. Therefore, for parenting, learning is a change in behavior.

      I'd argue for many books the same is true, what is the use of a book if the knowledge is only in your head. Application, thus changing one's behavior, is essential for the proper use. Obviously this is not for everything the case, but I am highlighting a few scenarios where it would be accurate to say that learning is a change in behavior.

      Nothing is ever black and white, it is quite simplistic to say such things, often there is a lot of nuance going on.

    1. Or, you may say that this business of marking books is going to slow up your reading. It probably will. That's one of the reasons for doing it. Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of reading is a measure of our intelligence. There is no such thing as the right speed for intelligent read-ing. Some things should be read quick-ly and effortlessly, and some should be read slowly and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read different things dif-ferently according to their worth.

      As Luhmann would say, it is foolish to think that things are black and white; in most scenarios there is nuance... So too is it with reading speed, it must be relative or else it is not accurate. Even speed within books can differ.

    1. Jesse Stommel and I wrote once that, In the room with our students, we can know if they’re engaged and participating, even as each of them participates in his or her own unique fashion. In an online discussion forum, it’s difficult to observe such nuance, and impossible to quantitatively evaluate it.

      The answer shouldn't necessarily be to figure out how to quantify the online unseen portions of the learning process.

      Similarly how might one assess the end results of things which are non-literate?

    1. "Context" manipulation is one of big topic and there are many related terminologies (academic, language/implementation specific, promotion terminologies). In fact, there is confusing.

    1. Fair

      This first 6-line stanza introduces a complex tone. The author, in 5 consecutive lines, praises their lover ("fair", "mild", etc.) before characterizing her in a negative way ("fickle", "brittle", etc.).

    2. oaths

      Double meaning: The author's lover swears an 'oath' to them of love, a promise, but since that promise is false, according to the final line of the stanza, it also resembles a curse.

    3. true nor trusty

      Characteristics the author ascribes to the dove - serves to complicate the simile.

      There is always nuance that I don't understand. What is it in this case?

      [I realize that I should be able to figure this out by myself. Or is that nuance that I won't know for a while?]

    1. Certainly Facebook and Google are difficult to compete against, but that stems from the quality of their products and the consistency of their innovation.

      At least in the case of Facebook, their closed silo combined with the strong network effect seems a relevant factor that cannot be ignored. Nowadays, people are probably not on Facebook for its product quality, but simply because others are there too.

    1. gelukszoekers (“happiness-seekers”)

      "geluk" means both happiness and luck; the translation "happiness-seekers" misses part of the meaning.

    1. all representations have essentially the same information content. And what we mean by "essentially" allows in fact some wriggle room, and in the end it rests on a common understanding between publisher of the information and quoter of the URI. The sameness we are after is the sameness of information content. That is what is identified by the URI. That is why we say that the URI identifies that conceptual information content, irrespective of its particular representation: the conceptual work. Without that common understanding, the web does not work. Some people have said, "If we say that URIs identify people, nothing breaks". But all the time they, day to day, rely on sameness of the information things on the web, and use URIs with that implicit assumption. As we formalize how the web works, we have to make that assumption explicit.
    2. we must either distinguish or be hopelessly fuzzy. And is this bad, is it an inhibition to have to work our way though documents before we can talk about whatever we desire? I would argue not, because it is very important not to lose track of the reasons for our taking and processing any piece of information. The process of publishing and reading is a real social process between social entities, not mechanical agents. To be socially responsible, to be able to handle trust, and so on, we must be aware of these operations. The difference between a car and what some web page says about it is crucial - not only when you are buying a car. Some have opined that the abstraction of the document is nonsense, and all that exists, when a web page describes a car, is the car and various representations of it, the HTML, PNG and GIF bit streams. This is however very weak in my opinion. The various representations have much more in common than simply the car. And the relationship to the car can be many and varied: home page, picture, catalog entry, invoice, remote control panel, weblog, and so on. The document itself is an important part of society - to dismiss its existence is to prevent us being aware of human and aspects of information without which we are impoverished. By contrast, the difference between different representations of the document (GIF or PNG image for example) is very small, and the relationship between versions of a document which changes through time a very strong one.
    3. It demonstrates the ambiguity of natural language that no significant problem had been noticed over the past decade, even though the original author or HTTP , and later co-author of HTTP 1.1 who also did his PhD thesis on an analysis of the web, and both of whom have worked with Web protocols ever since, had had conflicting ideas of what the various terms actually mean.
    4. an HTTP URI may identify something with a vagueness as to the dimensions above, but it still must be used to refer to a unique conceptual object whose various representations have a very large a mount in common. Formally, it is the publisher which defines the what an HTTP URI identifies, and so one should look to the publisher for a commitment as to the exact nature of the identity along these axes.
