a public annotation

However, I would never expect such requests to be delivered informally, and I would never make a request that would trammel cherished values of agency and expression.

“calibrate your voice on twitter to meet the tone of COLTT as to not upset others,”

two-sided coin, as is the case with other necessities in life, like food.

At times, and for certain people, it can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Collaborative reading/analysi

I immediately started using the Diigo bookmarklet in my classes, having students leave public notes on our course readings, primarily as a replacement for online discussion forums meant to ensure students read and engaged with their assignments before meeting.

Letters to the Next President 2.0 supports educators in providing interest-driven opportunities to foster and encourage youth voice and civic engagement.

What is our obligation as educators and as researchers to explore research interests and knowledge spaces?

Students with digital access can now go to the library and pore over the books they are most interested in,

What it looks like I do is help teachers come to grips with how digital culture and its tools have changed, shifted, made more or less sparkly the work of learning

Wonder and awe and curious mystery were the anathema to education and learning.

The chances of an end-to-end State and Local Government textbook emerging any time soon are fairly low.

My response to such a column would have been that this was like arguing in 1972 that we would never make it to the moon.

Instead, evolution must proceed through a series of stable, intermediate forms, via a pattern Simon calls “aggregation of subassemblies.”

The unsuccessful watchmaker (Tempus) has an assembly of a thousand parts, and for the watch to be working these must all be assembled at once; interruptions force the watchmaker to start over again from scratch. For a watch to be finished the watchmaker needs a large stretch of uninterrupted time.

Not a very hopeful set of responses overall. I should add that there were close to 200 people in the room. We got 108 people to respond.

It’s kinda like Twitter, but in person

nteresting to see my questions about copyright and ownership

Not only is a single reader annotating a given text, readers are collectively discussing ideas, engaging questions, and sharing resources through their networked annotation.

My decision not to formally assess learners’ participation in open web annotation is informed by own experience reading – and writing inside – books

And no, I have not mandated a quantitative frequency for annotation

How frequently should readers annotate a course text?

Some learners were initially concerned about publicly identifying with their open annotation, and subsequently owning the ensuing discussion.

Does it address access issues? Does it enable more sharing, easier collaboration?

declared 2012 “the Year of the MOOC,” and one might think that with such an endorsement and with “open” right there in the middle of the acronym — massive open online courses — that “open education” has triumphed.

What does it mean that we think about digital work as “school property”

was rebuked (in the media at least) for making such sweeping claims to copyright, but there are important lessons to be learned here for all districts.

"a picture drawn by a first-grader, a lesson plan developed by a teacher or an app created by a teen would belong to the school system, not the individual.”

“public,”

So I added an app called “Hypothesis”

My answer to this is that unlike many other scholarly materials, textbooks are primarily designed to be accessible to students– to new scholars in a particular academic area or sub-specialty.

demonstrate how different principles get applied in their curricula and practica.  Students will also help me curate resource links for further reading, and locate other openly-licensed articles to import into the book.

I launched the open textbook project over a summer, and because I teach at a public university where I had no easy access to graduate assistants or funding

If you are somewhat tech-savvy and comfortable playing around with things, you could definitely teach yourself the basics in an hour or so.

Most of the actual texts in the Heath were public domain texts, freely available and not under any copyright restrictions. 

I began the project with the simple desire to save my students about $85 US

I have to be honest–I didn’t follow any of it this year. I am ashamed.

instead of absorbing and sequestering the knowledge one gains from participation, each participant becomes a kind of instructor to others, including the instructors.
