Can the purpose be as simple as to learn?

Favorite bell hooks quote...AAAAND GO!

It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.

What's missing (if anything) from this list? Vulnerability? Courage?

How might we generatively differentiate Community from Network and/or should we?

Recently explored the idea of Fluid Networks

Love this as framing (thank you Naomi)!

For the DPL19 annotators, I thought we might collectively explode the margins.

Speaking of tragedy...the tragedy of symbols is embedded within the tragedy of the commons. We individually take for granted the symbolification of our reality, therefor robbing society of its collective potential. Tragedy on tragedy crime!

Current? Unlikely...it's just a matter of what changes first.

Seconds adapt to society? This may require an LSD micro-dose...or at minimum, a long hike :)

Hyperbole-free!

Crazy when you realize that all of the material, atom-based stuff around us came to be from a foundation of the ethereal and intangible. Therein lies the deep dichotomy of the Coyote.

Meaning, correlational logic, and value all created from nothing more than a shared consciousness...that's how/why this whole thing goes exponential.

"Skill-stack" is just the tech bro's means of referring to what Engelbart understood years before kambucha and man-buns were in style.

This problem of orientation is more true today than ever and I'm just not convinced that Silicon Valley (however well-intentioned) represents the right group to devise a framework to truly serve EVERYONE.

Anyone interested in joining a grassroots effort to help influence those at the top? Let me know - wkendal-at-gmail

Recommending CROWDLAAERS, as an additional visual data layer to augment our collective work here.

There's both An Urgency of Teachers, as well as an urgency of faculty development at the moment.

Reminds me of a recent Twitter thread from @jessifer

“Do less with less” is my current mantra. Also, “Wear one hat.” And, “Do the work of one person.”

If we could all just take this seemingly simple step (I'm just as guilty as the next), a much less dystopian future might start to appear on the horizon.

How does one learn (or perhaps more relevant here, teach) the process of “double-loop learning”? Building an effective and sustained practice of single-loop metacognition alone seems to be a lifelong pursuit.

Connecting faculty to sustained, reflective, cumulative PD might be the greatest challenge facing HigherEd. Without it, the chasm between our pedagogical assumptions and student expectations is only to grow wider over time. [much thinky face]

Transformative learning can be “epochal” or “cumulative” just like the potential for the singularity (is it creeping up or will it happen in a flash?)

Speaking of connections...this is exactly why I love Steven Johnson

Reminded of a Sean Michael Morris' post, Wide-awakeness and Critical Imagination.

"Agency is nothing more complicated than our ability to intervene in reality as historical subjects. Which means things can change, can be otherwise."

Looking forward to this connected and collaborative annotation jam. Feel free to jump in anytime, but be sure to join January 31 from 6-8pm to connect with the live Denver audience.

A big thank you to Maha and Autumm for creating and sharing these ideas; ones we will all collectively benefit from.

Alchemist without question.

Hooks is a modern day pedagogical gangster :) To most, her depth of compassion would seem to be the full scope of what's necessary, but for her, this is just where learning begins.

I might extend this blame to the military industrial complex (i.e. the birthplace of ID) and perhaps even Skinner and Bloom and some early pioneers.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the invention will be infinitely durable. The need for ID 2.0 (or perhaps a complete reinvention) came years ago, so perhaps we skip a few releases and shoot straight for ID 10.0 (IDX anyone?).

I love this framing. The "safe space" rhetoric, though important in its intention, doesn't do much to help amplify silenced voices. Instead of just safe, what might we do to create heroic potential, leaps of faith, and a willingness to be daring regardless of the safety nets that may or may not exist?

Hmm...much like the idea of the moral landscape (to which I've changed my mind having read Harris' book) I like the idea of the pedagogical landscape. There are always valleys and peaks to navigate and each intersecting system requires a recalibration of how best to approach the impending decent or climb.

Any alternative seems a negligent (bordering criminal) act towards our student's future selves and the culture and society they will ultimately and collectively craft. Onward we must fight!

Certainly more reflective (it matters most for elite classes) but everyone is better off with consistent exposure to HUMANITY (in the broadest sense of the word).

Reflections abound...for whatever reason, the platform dictates the degree to which I make such effort (e.g. very intentional via YouTube, but not nearly as intentional via Twitter). Can't help but assume that my understanding of the underlying algorithms are at play here.

Damn...you mean to tell me it's complicated?

"I'm not sure what it will take to get folks to realize that diversity matters. Not in some fluffy feel good way but like a hard built in your product kind of way." YES...intentionality in design, not superficial appeals to the ego!

It doesn't take much for naturally deep thinkers to be inspired to think deeper :)

I’m not sure if we need to aim for much more.

Ignore me! :)

Ignore Me! :)

FYI...these scheduled web meetings were pulled from previous semesters. You can ignore these and we will schedule ones which are most convenient for our group this semester.

Rubin is straight gangster!

Similar to the above quote...I love that he's found a place where the listener means everything and nothing. He knows the odds of his message being heard are directly proportional to his capacity for subjective authenticity.

There's freedom in discovering your truth. It makes the constant worries of "on the record" self-expression vanish. Musicians/artists are often perfect examples of how liberating this can be.

Is this true? I've witnessed quite the opposite as far as perceptions go.

Another version of the most ambiguous element of our modern edtech lexicon. Fluency, literacy, what do we want to call it and how is it defined? Not to get morbid, but people dying is likely our hope towards this concept stabilizing (surely just in time for something equally confusing to crop up).

Not a tagline I ever thought I'd see come along with the HR. Great to see so many individuals/orgs/and even brand new projects jump in to support this important work.

Slightly confused by the switchboard graphic. Am I missing the connection? Something about future trends and adjusting variables?

Btw...credit to ILT professor, Remi Kalir, for pushing the use of Hypothesis and advocating for syllabus annotation).

Thanks for jumping into our evolving and annotated course contract (i.e. syllabus). This is a shared space for continued discussion and negotiation about the course (and also a chance to learn/play with Hypothesis).

A few ways annotation might be useful here:

• Discuss specific terminology or phrasing.
• Ask contextual questions about specific course details.
• Provide links to other connected resources.

Many of the quiz scenarios reference concepts from the Dirksen text, so know that these assessments will be more challenging without that resource.

I highly recommend this text, and while you can find it via Amazon, know that there are earlier (cheaper) versions available for those willing to dig.

Any and all text can be highlighted and annotated. Don't hold back...this is an open layer for conversations.

We've developed a similar love interest...good thing criticism doesn't adhere to the societal norms of monogamy :)

Could this/does this open doors for a new hybrid research paradigm (or if it exists, please share)? I see practical parallels elements you might find in a Design Science) or similar approach.

This represents a major issue to me. The tool potential is directly correlated to funding. The UCF's can build RealizeIt into their long-term vision while others struggle to scrape together approval for a few free Wordpress sites.

Can't help but be immediately skeptical of statistical analyses tied to emotionally-fueled research.

I often look to the open course, Calling Bullshit (Univ. of Washington) as a starting point.

It's still endlessly troubling that this has to be spelled out and legitimized and can't just be accepted.

How often has domination (or downright genocide) accompanied a "declaration of independence?" Very much depends on the subtext, so the skepticism, unfortunately, seems historically justified. If only we could mean well AND do right.

What's the fewest number of words one could base an entire 16 week class on and what would those words be?

To be vulnerable within this power-dynamic is perhaps the ultimate display of truly teaching. The skill is to to so while gaining, not losing, respect and admiration (I'm not there).

Underlies almost every conversation about technology...how far have we really come in 20 years?

Somebody please bring him back and tell him about our president.

For those interested in digging deeper after tonights #Pedagome chat, let's dissect Neil Postman's, 5 Things We Need to Know About Technological Change. Should be a fun "then and now" perspective.

Neil who?

Curiosity absolutely stems from humility!

And what's really more valuable today? We need to empower and give credit to kids who show tenacity and worldly insight.

I highly recommend Coates and Noah in tandem. I inadvertently collided their writings and the resulting effect was profound (refracted perspective).

Where do you turn when scholarship and science get brushed aside?

Few conference sessions offer this level of supplemental reference. Thanks for rockin' DML!

As he's known to do :)

Comedy/sarcasm/satire is often viewed as a means of avoiding real issues, but I agree that these can be key societal preparatory tools when revolutionary change is needed. Looking forward to Yomna's work!

Digital is the native landscape of our youth. We need to provide them the freedom and encouragement to pave the way for progressive discourse among the spaces with which they're most familiar.
