Agreed.

This is the key, isn't it: nuance and fuzzy forms of evaluation do not provide them with the digital evaluations they need to feed their algorithms. In a sense, they're a victim of their own success: a smaller company might be able to employ staff to sort through user companies, but never one with as much reach as Netflix.

Yes. The latter are far more flexible.

This is a fascinating outcome. Of course I wonder if there isn't a way to overcome this, but assuming there is not, it serves as an example of the ways digital pedagogies are not just "your old pedagogy, only faster" or another such platitude. That does happen too, but often it ends up more like this situation, where the introduction of a new tool fundamentally alters the role of student work/learning in the class.

This strikes me as a crucial point: using this tool allowed you to shift from a traditional, considerably passive learning style (they're still engaging with the text, but alone) to a more potentially active one.

A critical point - it's so helpful that such an option exists in that tool.

This is a useful concept for metacognition about teaching (and learning). Makes me want to revisit a lot of my classroom exercises.... :)

Are the final digital stories available somewhere publicly to view?

I love this idea - it's not unlike what Elena Olive was having her students doing in her Spanish poetry course.

Glad to hear it. :)

Indeed.

I'm pretty sure "most" is a vast overstatement in this case. Perhaps "most Ivy League" campuses, or "most R1" campuses, even, but "most"? Questionable.

Link?

Is there a "he" missing here?

You will probably also want to make it easier for readers to move from entry to entry, using links or some other organizational tool (like a table of contents).

Fun. :) You might keep working on the filter(s) you'll use for these, though: this one really just looks fuzzy. :)

the 25th was a Sunday in 1827, so several days ago?

Let the audience figure this kind of thing out (when I Google it, it comes right up.)

Nice archaic-sounding prose. :)

Citation?

True, but what is notable about them? Elaborate.

Or rather, for the cups to appear as large as they do on the street.

An amazing turn-around on what we might once have thought cinema to be.

Here's another key point for Bazin: he sees photography as doing something fundamentally different from other arts in its capturing nature, something he feels no other art before it has done.

This is the key move. From psychology - the why of what we do with images - it's a quick step to realism as a motive for the creation of images.

This is really the crux of it for Bazin, that something magical happens in the continuous discrete moments of photography.

"every form" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but then, Gouhier is attacking film on a point he sees as obvious, so maybe he's allowing himself some latitude?

Isn't this restating Kelly?

For sure! But what does this example add to the discussion of technology having predated humanness?

Who believes this? They should be cited or this comment should be removed.

Shows a lack of understanding of how Youtube functions.

An excellent place to begin.

Interpellation is the notion that we are "hailed" by a text, assumed to be the subject of its communication (and by extension, the creator/deliverer of the text).

Thesis I provides us with an explanation of the relationship between ideology and real (material) existence.
