This!!! So important!

It's sad that this information isn't taken more seriously.

It's wonderful that you have a goal to try to include the "Pull" within the confines of your demanded structure.

I feel like if more educators get on board with the Pull choice, the educational system will be forcred to follow suit! Hopefully as students and educators alike voice their preference for this style of learning, the educational system will be foreced to restructor to meet such demands.

When it comes to animal rights, in my humble opinion, there can never be enough support! More posts! More reblogs!

Community is an important factor in animal welfare because all to often single voices are drowned out. It's more difficult to ignore a sea of voices calling for change.

I'm glad she didn't just accept such a horrible answer and move on.

Oh my goodness. This makes my heart cry. How can so many humans lack humanity? I think we need to question if society is living up to this title.

This is difficult; I worry about sharing things all the time for this reason - about this class and in life in general. I suppose that the pessimist in me always expects ridicule, especially with the online "troll" culture.

This is a very cool idea!

Me too. Some days I love it and other days I years for the speed of times without such technology. Today everything is so fast. Just look at the pace of this course! But I, too, and trying to adapt to them because there's no denying that they're around to stay.

And was this curiosity considered a 'disruption' that needed to be 'dealt with' with some sort of punishment?

It's wonderful when seeing others create something inspires you to create more.

A creative way to work within the scope fo the medium to maximize results.

Either way - it's easier to learn the ins and outs of the program when you're passionate about what you're making! It's cool to see one passion meet the remix of another in this way.

And quite the attention to detail!

That sounds pretty cool!

I am curious! It sounds like a fun way to see the local area!

Reading this story critique, as well as others you have presented, really makes me want to see if there are similar things in my local area - ways to explore the history interactively. And if not, can I create them?

This is a wonderful idea!

This sounds like such a ool interactive expereince! I will be near Denver for the Canvas conference next week - I'm sad that I won't have time to explore and take this tour!

Sometimes we're so consumed by our digital network that we forget we have a network waiting for us at home or at the local pub.

It actually CAN be fun to be alone. People watching can be a great way to pass the time. You find yourself smiling without even realizing it.

It is sad to think back on my K-12 educational experience; with few exceptions is was all cram and test. And I am not rich with knowledge from school. All of the knowledge I do know at the ready has been from my genuine curiosity or direct expereince.

This is how I learned about Nellie Bly - through the production of a play about her.

For today's Daily Create, I did a continuous line drawing of Oliver, who was killed yesterday by the Worcester County Animal Control.

It makes me think of this movie I saw at the Annapolis Film Festival in March: Driving While Black.

I feel like the Black Lives Matter conversation and the Gun Control conversations are directly linked and should be a national concern.

Also, I have seen the All Lives Matter response to the Black Lives Matter Campaign and I appreciated this response:

No one suggested that someone else's life doesn't matter - just that ALL lives can't matter until black lives are included - are the conversation right now is: are they?

I heard someone comment this weekend that the cops react that way because of how many police officers are killed in the line of duty - how someone on YouTube compiled a mashup of clips that document cops being killed. The follow-up comment was, "As a cop, you approach the car with that in your mind every day while you're at work, so of course they overreact when they see someone reach for something."

This comment disturbed me on so many levels. Why is it so easy for cops to be killed, especially during routine traffic stops? Why are they defended for shooting someone for daring to move - without confirming if there is a gun present or if they're even reaching for one that is present? What is the root cause here?

Guns.

I highly doubt any cop is walking up to a car on edge because he worries that a ninja star will be thrown in his face when he approaches the window.

I agree with the training programs for cops to learn to react better, as well as the law that allows them to remove truly dangerous people off of the streets. But as these videos have shown, black lives are being lost in non-violent situations. There is certainly racism and poor sensitivity skill training in the mix, but a lot of people miss discussing that guns are a root issue in these cases. They are both the murder weapon and the excuse for the weapon being drawn in the first place. That's what the cops mean when they keep defending themselves by saying, "I thought I was in danger."

Gun control isn't just the catalyst for mass shootings. It's an everyday systemic problem that reaches into and ruins ALL aspects of our society.

This is a difficult one for me because I studied photography and also have a crap memory. I like to capture beautiful, unique moments - as well as save them for my memory bank to come back later for smiles when I forget that there are things to be happy about in this world.

I do make a concentrated effort to capture the moment, but then to put the camera down and stay in the moment unhindered.

Scary. At what point do we address this as an addiction?

Yes! It's okay to be with yourself. You don't have to constantly seek distraction.

On the flip side, being always connected means you often feel obligated to engage even when you don't want to and guilty if you don't. Ignoring text messages or phone calls in particular where (in today's society) you're almost always expected to be be available to respond instantly - or else something's assumed to be wrong.

My husband texts me when he's leaving his phone in the car to play basketball so that I won't worry if he doesn't respond fr an hour.

There have been times when my sister hasn't responded to a text within 15-20 minutes when we had plans to meet up and I get the fearful "what-ifs" in the back of my head.

Even when I tell myself not to be roped into such ridiculousness, it seeps in.

Not being truly alone - ever - really does change your psychology. I personally hate it.

I personally find it pretty sad that it's come to this... That this could ever be true.

I as with food, I want an unlimited supply without adverse effects...

Solitude allows you to look into yourself and evaluate your own thoughts and opinions without the influence of outside opinions. You can be honest with yourself and not worry about being judged or argued with for being yourself.

It also allows you to evaluate situations where you weren't being yourself because you were bending to the will or opinions of others.

Excited for you! I hope to visit myself someday soon and I'd happily take your location recommendations. :p

A huge benefit of online affinity spaces is the ability to team up and share across platforms.

Time lapses are a wonderful result for a photo mashup!

I love that tourism spiked in Iceland due to their EuroCup performance! I was rooting for them!

If you haven't heard of them, Árstíðir is a wonderful band from Iceland. A little something to help you with a vacation soundtrack :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyCGLyMiGY0

And I met them while they were here on tour. They're REALLY nice and put on a great show if they happen to be playing in Iceland while you're there :p

I feel a successful concept in the multiple-heads-working-together groups is that there is a basic set of rules. In the PhotoshopRequest community, there is surely some sort of proccess where members select which requests they will take on. Do multiple people attempt to Photoshop them or does one person claim a request? These concepts are often clear from the beginning of the process, allowing for all members to be on the same page, therefore avoiding roadblocks.

I love these :)

I feel like this also applies to digital responsibility - that the two are linked. Not only should they learn to be safe, but they should learn 'nettiquete' and how to deal with issues like being bullied or seeing someone being bullied online.

This goes back to the idea of participating = learning. If the students aren't able to participate in finding solutions in the classroom, they are less likely to be able to do so in real life.

Wow - that's excellent. It's good to see successful funding of Title I scools.

Arm The Animals has a nice selection of say No To Animal Testing themed shirts.

Unfortunately, since PETA has a negative image in many spheres, including animal activist spheres, I worry their message could be overlooked. And it's an important message to spread. Many people don't understand that "animal testing" is a legal form of animal cruelty.

This is horrifying. Why isn't this kind of thing taught in school? Ethics 101. I think it's super important to our society that people learn these things. If pople don't know about it - they can't advocate for change.

I wishthere was more transparency for this and that they were easier to find. I suppose once you've done the research and found a brand you like, the "hard part" is over.

I just find it interesting that someone is so concerned with animals getting equal right as humans when we haven't even begun to give them basic rights and protections yet. At this point in time, I don't even see that this is an argument that needs to be made. hashtag firstthingsfirst

As the reading pointed out, many of the practices aren't based on new concepts. I feel like DIY is the same. In traditional learning, study groups and flash cards are examples of participation for learning. We're just used to calling it 'studying'. In a digital realm, it's usually 'producing'.

The interesting thing about digital literacies is that it makes it difficult to get participation credit just for "showing up" because in many cases, in order to leave a digital footprint (proof you "showed up") you need to participate in some way.

My commenting on your blog with Hypothesis is an example of that. I could have read your blog and left the page without anyone being wiser - there may have been a "page view" count, but nothing to identify that it was me. I have to comment on your blog post or comment here in Hypothesis to show "proof" of participation.

So in a way, digital literacies don't just encourage participation, they often require it.

This looks like so much fun!

This is what I think the educational system fears - the student that can determine their own goals, diversifying outcomes, which are more difficult to assess from a "National Standard" point of view.

The fact that companies hire social media specialists today is proof of how ingrained technology has become in our culture.

I feel like the educational system is a form of mashup. Ideas of "standards" were arbitrarily added when it was decided another assessment needed to be added to measure performance. But since they were mashed together over time, they don't work as well together as they would if someone woudl go in an "clean up" the concepts and standards of successful learning.

I think this a key point for why it hasn't been successfully integrated at this point. It's not just the instructor that needs to update lesson plans, it's the entire structure of the education system.

I feel like Lydia would have had help with this project - it seems quite advanced to have found all of the pictures and period-appropriate music, as well as to have edited things so smoothly together on her own. That makes me think - what a fun collaborative project this would be for a parent and child. Let the child decide the story to tell, the facts that are important, etc. and help bring their chosen story to life.

This is an interesting idea for kids - to have them choose a local person or historical site to research and make a video about - it encourages them to learn about their local community in a fun and engaging way.

This was an interesting idea - that Lydia spoke as Molly Brown. It made the viewer feel like they were being told a story by a grandparent about their life - but in the voice of a child. Interesting juxtaposition!

This being optional is a neat idea as some photographers may choose to describe the scene and their thought process when taking the photo, while others may was to let the viewer create their own context around how the picture may have come to be.

This is a good anaolgy. You can learn what the nail does and what the hammer does, but the hammer must interact with the nail in order to join two pieces of wood together. I like it!

Fancy term for 'social media'?

The public versus group versus private annotation options in Hypothesis is an excellent example of the felixible use of such tools.

Yes! I think the fear for many educators is that they have to dive in and be all or nothing when it comes to technology. But it's easy to slowly sneak in technology little by little as the educator feels comfortable!

I will be following this hashtag.

I love this idea because it's rooted in the concept that their responses will be researched and fact checked so that the responses and born of informed opinions!

A far cry from a lot of the far-reaching Facebook political posts I see, for example!

This is nice, as the project has room to learn from itself and grow during and after each cycle.

What if students were then able to annotate each other's public writings with hypothes.is to spark further conversation on each topic? Is that part of the plan?

It will be interesting to see if any topics change with Letters to the Next President 2.0. Will topics be added in light of recent events?

For today's Daily Create, I created Global Blog Review Day and wrote about it on my blog.

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 is a nice way to illustrate productive comments - althogh I do feel like it's easier said than done. Particularly the tip to 'try to find something new to say'... sometimes it's difficult to do so if you're agreeing with most or all of what's been said before. You feel like you'll just be repetetive and not contribute anything og value to the conversation.

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....?

I have never used Diigo - using Hypothesis for this class has been my first exposure to web annotation.

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.

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.

For today's Daily Create, can you guess this movie based on the clues?

For today's Daily Create I chose to make a bookmarklet of Buster Keaton’s most dangerous stunt, from the film Steamboat Bill, Jr. I then imposed images of Jackie Chan paying homage to Buster Keaton in the film Project A Part II, in which he recreates the stunt. I wrote about it on my blog.

The problem is that schools don't have copyright classes to explain these concepts. As the dynamics of copyright shift, students and teachers aloke should learn fair use and copyright laws.

And of course the people who get laws to pass are those with money who see an opportunity to profit. That means the general public usually loses out.

Uh.. yeah. If I send my kid to school and they make a macaroni necklace, would I have to pay to rent the necklace to wear to the next Christmas party I attend? Were they surprised there was public outcry???

If I were a student, I wouldn't want to produce any qualit work for school because I would expect it to be taken from me. I would produce any work I wanted to keep and susepected I would be proud of so that I could keep it for my personal portfolio.

I think this is a fair question and that the student should have the right to delete or alter what they reflects on them after they have submitted it for the assignment. There should be a policy where a student cannot be penalized for removing any of their publicly posted property after an agreed-upon amount of time for it to remain up or after a copy (screen shot, word doc, audio file, etc.) is made to submit to the instructor privately for grading.

This is an important point - having digital resource requirements may mean providing them with access to some of these resources. The laptop rental program is a wonderful initiative.

I love the comparison between a banking model and an inquiry-based model.

This is a wonderful point - I definitely notice a difference based on how I take notes!

This is very interesting becuase the learners were able to decide what information was helpful both fore and after they learned from the text. I love that they were able to revisit and revist the front matter.

This is something I would like to learn and that I feel all those in education could benefit from.

It's amazing that charging so much for compiled public domain texts is legal. It is good that alternatives are being provided to avoid the forced purchase of material that is intentionally altered to for monetary gain.

Today's Daily Create, #tdc1619, was to "Do whatever the heck you want to do today. Be free." so I chose to select "Random TDC" to see what I would land on. I got #tdc1404 "Your theme song - Create an inspirational poster with favourite lyrics from your theme song."
