I hope you find this Haley. Though, I have enjoyed the fleeting interactions we've had this semester.

Way to think outside the box!

This interaction this week was super fascinating! He showed valor and unwavering commitment to his position. It was the most valuable learning activity of the week.

I would suppose this depends on the precedent one sets. Most who know me also know they shouldn't expect a response in less than 48 hours. If it is less than that, they got lucky that I happened to be connected :)

If one is more comfortable with this form of learning, I wonder what the implications of this would be?

It seems I am resistant to the idea of social learning (for some reason), but you've made some excellent points here. Thanks.

This was an excellent example! You highlight how he took theory and experimentation and found a way to apply it in his own context. I will think on this. I have more theory in my head than opportunities for application. Perhaps I need to examine my environment more closely to see where I can apply my theoretical knowledge more directly.

Ha!

Again, on-point!

You're right Haley! This is so important for young learners! Accomplishing the task is also a great way to build confidence in a child.

Answered! nice.

Then the question would be, what is "real-world"? If an issue has significance or meaning to the teacher, but the student has no experience with it, who then decides if it has authentic application?

I wonder the same. I've found in my studies, sometimes the framing of the questions that are to be answered is more valuable to the learning process than providing the answers and assessing the learning of it.

Nicely stated.

This is the general experience. I wonder why that would be.

An insightful observation. These are two different learning activities, aren't they?

Did they indicate the best way to forge these?

You've done an excellent job of keeping your content on-point and consistent.

This has been the most unconventional class I've taken in the program. It's been very valuable.

Unless that conversation is continuing with or without you there. Last week I checked out of media and found upon my return, the entire national conversation had changed, had become very dark, and very serious. I was not in the "same place" as everyone else.

so, I find, solitude does not necessarily prepare conversation.

I can spend days "alone", yet find myself yearning for solitude because I am still engaged online.

Some used to carry around 'pocket notes' in pre-tech days for just these moments.

As a related thought, studies show that multitasking decreases efficacy. So I wonder, if increasing the volume of background cognitive processing would have any similar effects.

Why would accounting for this be illusive?

BINGO!

Part of this is about being willing to conduct conversations openly. This is something Remi has spoken of many times this term. I see now, through this letter, the value of this - as a part of the learning experience itself.

Honest and open conversations, as Alissa stated above, takes courage of one's convictions. Unfortunately, this is not a prerequisite in education today.

Excellent job, Remi, of practicing what you teach.

I like that you frame this as an ethical issue, because it is.

This is interesting. I have thoughts I would like to deliberate publicly, but I would not necessarily want to associate with them because they are only ideas I consider, not necessarily hold.

IMO this is such a novel concept for public deliberation. It is one many contend with privately, I think, but until reading this article I didn't realize it had any wider social validity.

a social system that can openly deliberate is the basis of an open democracy. Not that this is necessarily what we have in the USA, but it's a worthy ideal to strive toward.

opinions that are not informed are vulnerable to propaganda,

again, an excellent and insightful citation.

Affinity spaces and generative environments: thank you for citing these terms!

A common trap that feel like you are participating, but are not.

ILT5340 is doing an excellent job of modeling this

agreed. I am just hooking in with Hypothes.is in a conceptual way. It may very well be a game changer.

I still find myself taking written notes for memorization and quick referral. I'm sure there are digital tools for this. I've likely signed up for a few. Still find the kinetic act of hand-writing helps memorize concepts the way typing and cutting & pasting just doesn't.

buh-bye gatekeepers!

welcome to the obsolescence of some careers :/

not naming any names...

These platforms are less than 10 years old. I've worked in tech for 25 and kind of' checked out' about 7 years ago, just before this last digital DIY revolution took place. I'm amazed everyday how super easy these platforms make things that used to take teams of people to do.

Indicates the ability to reflect on knowledge and apply in a personal context. nice!

I would venture to say this is the exercise of learning in general. Perhaps.

vulnerability is a topic we tend to numb, to distance ourselves from it. Good observation.

excellent observation

I like this idea of a "soft place to land and reflect"

The difference between presenting a researched topic and presenting a topic of direct experience and learning, I guess.

presenting ideas through a narrative is the process of taking ideas and turning them into metaphors.

The connection that makes learning possible!

Think outside the egg ;p LINK!

Posting here as well. Learning a lot about twitter! https://twitter.com/InnovateInMeta/status/740848608791166977
