first DS106 Daily Create
I did a Third Eye Poem for my first Daily Create.

Some states are making it where animal control must report suspected child abuse and child protective services must report animal abuse. Because often times they are connected. Some states have also made animal abuse, if committed in front of a child, a felony charge as well. If you know of someone who is abusive to an animal please report it, because you could be saving more lives than the animal!
This!!! So important!
It is really crazy to read the correlations between animal abuse and domestic violence.
It's sad that this information isn't taken more seriously.
Hopefully I can build in this aspect through passion projects and independent studies.
It's wonderful that you have a goal to try to include the "Pull" within the confines of your demanded structure.
Well I choose Pull!
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.
This also helps the author get support for her cause and encourages her to do more to protect these animals.
When it comes to animal rights, in my humble opinion, there can never be enough support! More posts! More reblogs!
Utilizing a blog and knowing how to get it associated with this particular affinity space is a big achievement for this creator.
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.
she found a retired local animal control officer to help.
I'm glad she didn't just accept such a horrible answer and move on.
But as it turns out some teenagers thought it would be fun to just club a dozen or so to death for no reason. The author of the blog wants to seek justice for the porcupines but local law enforcement said they were nuisance animals and there is no law against killing them.
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 week I struggled with sharing and being open about short-comings.
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.
We helped the students create a digital story from their writing about a favorite memory.
This is a very cool idea!
The latter attitude is something that I am trying to emulate myself.
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.
Those times when I could tell that the teacher couldn’t answer me because they either didn’t know, or it was against their programming–I kept it up.
And was this curiosity considered a 'disruption' that needed to be 'dealt with' with some sort of punishment?
Seeing his demonstration makes me want to go back to the model and re-work the geometry and materials so that it will work more efficiently in a real-time environment like a game engine
It's wonderful when seeing others create something inspires you to create more.
He shows what the split image looks like on the computer screen as he describes what he is seeing through the Google Cardboard VR.
A creative way to work within the scope fo the medium to maximize results.
I don’t know what goes into creating VR simulations. I only know what it takes to create the models.
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.
takes a certain amount of passion for the subject matter
And quite the attention to detail!
He requested to download the TARDIS control room model I created.
That sounds pretty cool!
so I will let you know how it goes!
I am curious! It sounds like a fun way to see the local area!
the stories would come to life
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?
I would love to see them develop and app and put all of this information together in one place:
This is a wonderful idea!
A new addition to the program is the ability to get texts about your specific trek. You should be able to receive and answer clues about your trek based on where you are at. You can also call in to hear stories about the different sites you are at
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!
set down our “network”
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.
Some time alone. It was AMAZING. I had a great time sitting by myself and just watching people.
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.
Oh, I kind of feel sick thinking about 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.
I experienced the story.
This is how I learned about Nellie Bly - through the production of a play about her.
Daily Create
For today's Daily Create, I did a continuous line drawing of Oliver, who was killed yesterday by the Worcester County Animal Control.

Valerie Castile said she had taught Philando how to survive being stopped by the police: “That was something we always discussed: comply … Whatever they ask you to do, do it. Don’t say nothing. Just do whatever they want you to do. So, what’s the difference in complying, and you get killed anyway?”
It makes me think of this movie I saw at the Annapolis Film Festival in March: Driving While Black.
And, particularly in urban communities, the possibilities of our students dying from gun violence are very real.
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?
What good are the grants and peer-reviewed articles and apps and standards that invest so much of the DML community’s time if we can’t even keep black lives safe in the U.S. today?
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.
like a crumpled note
now welcome an open and honest conversation
Simply put, I am saddened that a message of such import — and injury — was so cavalierly amended to an email between colleagues.
“COLTT engages participants in learning about teaching practices and technologies, challenging the way they think about both.”
I contend it is neither possible nor ethical to divorce the power of such conversation from the activities of an academic conference
feedback from some of our committee members regarding your twitter activity and session.
Shall I not — in reference to, or while presenting at, COLTT — publicly critique my own positionality as a privileged, white, and male academic in the field of educational technology, all while contributing to a national conversation about gender inequity and institutional bias in higher education?
I cannot and will not silence myself, trade diversity of thought for a few CV lines, and gag opinion because my expression might upset an abstract group of “others.
I find it deeply troubling that there may be a planned strategy to preemptively censor my participation
nor will I attend any aspect of the conference program
First, I will not under any circumstances barter basic tenets of my scholarly activity — including freedom of thought and expression
calibrate your voice on twitter to meet the tone of COLTT
Our initial impulse was to pull out our mobile devices to take photos and video.
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.
80% of teens reported checking their phone hourly, and 72% said they feel the need to respond to messages immediately.
Scary. At what point do we address this as an addiction?
Louis C.K.’s comedic rant
Yes! It's okay to be with yourself. You don't have to constantly seek distraction.
One of Turkle’s arguments is that being able to connect anytime, anywhere means never having to experience unwanted solitude
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.
“If a person is alone in the forest when a tree falls, but they don’t notice it because they’re texting, does it still count as solitude?”
I personally find it pretty sad that it's come to this... That this could ever be true.
As with food, we can benefit from being mindful of the quantity and quality of solitude we experience in daily life.
I as with food, I want an unlimited supply without adverse effects...
Solitude also enriches our connections with others by providing perspective, which enhances intimacy and fosters empathy.
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.
I can’t wait to see Iceland for myself in two weeks
Excited for you! I hope to visit myself someday soon and I'd happily take your location recommendations. :p
teamed up
A huge benefit of online affinity spaces is the ability to team up and share across platforms.
“literacy dimensions”
Time lapses are a wonderful result for a photo mashup!
booking your flight before the credits roll
I love that tourism spiked in Iceland due to their EuroCup performance! I was rooting for them!
I’m going to Iceland later this month
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
and while a lot of people working together can oftentimes create gridlock, it can also open new creative doors
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.
check out what these Photoshop Trolls did
I love these :)
Parental involvement, give the students resources to teach them about internet safety via youtube and Google Family Safety, create scenarios, use private online communities, practice what you preach and have the students create a pledge.
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.
If they have worked through this in class, when they are faced with difficult decisions on the internet they will be more likely to come up with healthy solutions.
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.
Our kindergarten students have 1:1 iPad and grades 1-5 have Chromebooks
Wow - that's excellent. It's good to see successful funding of Title I scools.
I would say it has affected me in it’s current form without any alterations.
Arm The Animals has a nice selection of say No To Animal Testing themed shirts.
PETA
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.
He also shows the graphic images of animal that have been tested on.
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.
He focuses mostly on cruelty-free cosmetics
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.
but is against humans and animals being equal in all senses
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
The main thing I took away from this chapter was learning is doing and if you are not doing there is really no learning.
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'.
and not just the ones that get a participation award for showing up
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.
rotoscope animation
This looks like so much fun!
expertise means leveraging digital spaces to further one’s goals
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.
are skills that everyone will require to function into the future
The fact that companies hire social media specialists today is proof of how ingrained technology has become in our culture.
We have an education system that teaches to seemingly arbitrary standards
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.
Integrating social networked learning into an educational system that doesn’t support it is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
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.
Did she write the narration and find the pictures? Did she create the video for a project?
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.
I found the story by searching for Colorado history digital stories.
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.
is told from the viewpoint of Molly Brown
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!
an optional amount of written explanation of their photograph
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.
To me, it is like the difference between opening the toolbox and exploring what each tool might do versus building a birdhouse.
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!
“Information and Communications Technology.”
Fancy term for 'social media'?
it eases the way for many different types of practices
The public versus group versus private annotation options in Hypothesis is an excellent example of the felixible use of such tools.
change in education isn’t about every piece of technology just because it’s there, but rather about changing strategies and approaches in response to a better understanding of what works better for learners
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!
“#2nextprez” is the Twitter hashtag
I will be following this hashtag.
Our hope is that students will make use of the Hypothesis social annotation tool to “write back” to the 2016 candidates, commenting on their speeches, policy statements, and campaign websites, doing so not only with their words, but with images, GIFs, videos, and all the composition tools of the web.
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!
that we are continuing to rethink what it means to engage in the democratic process in the digital age
This is nice, as the project has room to learn from itself and grow during and after each cycle.
Students will then have the opportunity to write publicly about the issues that they believe the next president needs to address.
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?
global warming, the economy, healthcare, education, and immigration
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?

infographic
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.
both in their own annotations and in those of their classmates
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....?
Diigo
I have never used Diigo - using Hypothesis for this class has been my first exposure to web annotation.
it is not possible to change the world without a certain dream or vision for it
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.
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.
This is pretty much what I do at a university level.
Teachers didn’t seem happy.
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.
As a child, I was a prolific liar. Or, storyteller. I improvised truth.
This makes me think of Paul Bettany as Chaucer in A Knight's Tale.
Emergence is more than incrementalism, and it’s one of the reasons why an deep understanding of the history of problems is necessary to solve them.
Understanding where we're coming from helps us determine where we're going.
evolution
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.
So while there are a thousand pieces, she can complete a subassembly of 10 or so pieces and put it down without it falling apart.
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.

These “open licenses” make educational content more “remixable,” so that lessons and textbooks for example, can be readily adapted to new settings and new circumstances
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.
Consequently, the Internet was born at a severe disadvantage, as preexisting laws discouraged people from realizing the full potential of the network
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.
public outcry
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???
are properties of the Board of Education even if created on the employee’s or student’s time and with use of their materials.”
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.
Will it come back to haunt them when they look for a job (we need to take this concern seriously, given the debt they incur to study with us)?
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.
laptop rental program
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.
from a banking model (I download info from the textbook into their brains) to an inquiry-based model
I love the comparison between a banking model and an inquiry-based model.
so little time examining how digital notetaking differs from handwriting our notes.
This is a wonderful point - I definitely notice a difference based on how I take notes!
So students in the course signed up to create these introductions as we went through the course. Generally, they submitted them in time for the class to use them when we covered the text in the syllabus, but they also often revised them after we discussed the text in class if they thought they could improve them.
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.
Each RA was also paid to complete a basic training on copyright and open licensing, so they understood the definition of “public domain” and understood how to ascertain whether a particular digital version of a text was under copyright.
This is something I would like to learn and that I feel all those in education could benefit from.
Most of the actual texts in the Heath were public domain texts, freely available and not under any copyright restrictions. As the Heath produced new editions (of literature from roughly 1400-1800!), forcing students to buy new textbooks or be irritatingly out of sync with page numbers, and as students turned to rental markets that necessitated them giving their books back at the end of the semester, I began to look in earnest for an alternative.
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.
Produce your second DS106 Daily Create
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."
This assignment, with more context, is posted on my blog.
