your key levers here seem to be share, explore, and empower...will raters know the difference? Are they related but different enough?

nothing on the role of reflection and/or feedback. I would think that important.

Do your scale descriptors of "value" equal renewable work? What makes value the key element of renewable?

How am I measuring this transfer? Do I have access to students after 1 week, 1 month? 1 year? Do you expect any kind of half-life?

I dig four point scales because I hate the squishy middle and the low variance found in three point scales. Can create false reliability among raters...but many folks like a midpoint....and we are treating ordinal data as numerical so it probably doesn't matter anyway...all the numbers are nonsense

This makes the criteria very multi dimensional? Are all open practices equal? only feels like they are consuming? No creation or open practices on learning out loud/reflecting

This is reminding me how I had a history of Education class in graduate school that included Song of Solomon as required reading and how powerful that was in my experience in that course. Makes me think more about the ways I might bring in literature by Black women into my current graduate teaching.

I am a sucker for internal rhymes. Although these lyrics (for me) don't always hold up as a poem on its own, the art of internal rhyme to create rhythm against the backdrop of bass and drums is a key element of HipHop that I greatly admire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfgR2bEjAFg

Making a choice? Or maybe not ...

Why is the author using the word ugly? It has a negative connotation? What does it do to give this word power?

poets can find power in verbs

I don't really get this opinion, or how it pertains to Greg's otherwise important point about the format of OER. Seems like it ignores BOTH the great many tangible contributions folks have made in the field of OER AND the very important conversations that also take place around topics as or more important than technical formats, like pedagogy, and the socio-economic ecosystem in which OER participates.

I love this piece by Maisha Winn on a similar thread: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10749039.2014.990037

I usually avoid extra modifies. I find them repetitive and redundant, but if any can bring radical to the writing classroom it is Marcelle M. Haddix

As English teachers we often begin by asking what exemplar text would you use. So let's start to curate a list of what kind of healing text you would use as models to admire and pick at or simply wiggle around in our heads?

• find healing power
• pedagogy
• giving students space
• to write,
• a place to be.
• Check out our feeds
• Though the honesty and openness falls
• on engendered roles
• much pain still hidden
• behind masculine masks.
• or Expressed in Anger
• Justified? Misplaced?
• Heal without hate
• Let healing writing scream
• in quiet tears
• embrace your space
• and simply try to be

Good to acknowledge this. The votes didn't come out of nowhere. They came from within various communities, and communities of practice.

I think we should have a disclaimer that teachers are mandatory reporters and trauma education can lead to situations you must report.

Students should be aware of these obligations before these efforts begin.

I find giving my students a domain and the freedom to write leads to healing through words. To data I have had students discuss their journey with dating violence, bulimia, and addiction.

Looking back as I write this, however, it seems the ability to engage in healing writing is an engendered practice. Not sure I have had any students who identify as male take a risk in their healing.

It wasn't the morning after for me. I saw three county returns in the middle of Florida and new we were done.

This seems like an overseen dimension of teacher prep, right? As if teaching can occur in a vacuum and emotions need not be addressed or recognized in the classroom, let alone be brought in explicitly and handled with sensitivity.

One of the complexities of this is that teachers sometimes don't believe the academic space is where these conversations should occur, despite adoption of SEL approaches by a school; we have cultivated teachers who, because of pressures around test accountability, grades, and perceptions of traditional models of success, experience conflict around the heart and mind binary - school is for academics and thinking, while spaces outside of school are for nourishing the heart. Obviously we need to interrupt this stance to show how each feed the other.

Not only are teachers underprepared, often teacher educators are underprepared to do so, and we are woefully fearful that our words and and actions may be taken out of context and used against us. The fear climate created in these last 2 years is real.

Can this be a response to trolls? When you have power of your domain.

If we want a democratic society we need a democratic educational system. This requires in digital literacy folks to have their own domain.

Educational is this sense is can be both and negative.

An interesting critique of libertarianism in the tech world from Dewey.

For Dewey democracy isn't a set of laws but a way of living.

the collective feed

Having a domain is collective action

Make a parallel to the rise of commercial silos.

How does this fit the web?

This is a perfect example of the culture divide that this teacher and this student has. What seems almost like child abuse in this teacher's eyes is seen as completely normal in this 5 year old's eyes.

I love this quote. As teachers, our job is to never stop learning, and we learn so much from our students.

This is what we seek:

I disconnected my IFTT. I ended up breaking my pocket integration and started worrying about data leakage.

The less third parties the better IMO

Yes we have all been playing with this idea we need to figure a way to build in a page

This may be my favorite line of the entire code of conduct! I'm doing my best to resist....

Keep for "how-to" section

Think we should frame this as a disciplinary literacy study.

Cover this is Extending and Clarifying Previous Research

Need to decide on writing measures.

Try to have the package delivered by classroom teachers without us teaching in last year.

Usability study included in the methods of the pilot year.

A turnkey social reader turned LMS that can be applied to any #IndieWeb blogging environment (license up to vendors and partners) as well as openly licensed learning materials and assessment tools.

HTML is handwriting and composition

Would have to use an Author citation here 🙂

I think you can see this growth in writing over time. By having students engage in multiple pieces of authentic writing we may be able to parse growth.

Think about annotations and developing a code book to annotate over time. That is clearly demonstrable growth thaty could easily be analyzed.

Tools that make teachers more reliable are just as important.

We need to explain why the current model of writing is insufficient.

Taking back the web is the long term strategy and to do that we need students who can read and write the web.

Will read grant if submitted by April 1st.

We will start with one setting in the development year, two settings in the pilot year, and four settings (2 high and low in two SES districts in two states).

The idea that owning a domain changes the act of learning is essential to Open Pedagogy

Use this as a measure for the grant.

At the same time perezhivanie must accept this identity work was being compelled and their s a power imbalance where the student will try to please outside factors. Some may not share the mist critical funds of identity in a school setting

Almostt all of the new literacies studies as of late focused on identity ad naseum with the JPG flair.

but then we get to new identities requiring crisis. Not sure I agree.

There is cultural meaning here of the cat as a metaphor for lazy. Think Garfield.

This reminds me of the pre and post test we used to give as part of the New Literacies Institute. Choose one picture that represents you before and one after,

Wondering what happens to students who could not use the software. Just being more skilled in specific software signifies identity.

In my work on critical evaluation I want to explore what happens when students interact with bias avatars doing read alouds.

I think we can leverage this in learning by allowing students to "unlock" bounty boxes similar to the in-app economies of most games.

Sounds like Piaget here to me.

I think there can be many small episodes that build over time

Very similar to Gee's Big D little d discourse model

It is this that scares me. We are no longer just having students define themselves.. Well actually I believe we project many MEs and have many other MEs projected back onto us.

Yet they are no longer in control of how their life experiences get shared. A social algorithm determines what events they see from friends and what friends see of them.

Notification provide gratification while reinforcing specific funds of identity.

What is the meme version of of historically accumulated. Clearly memes are deeply influenced by funds of knowledge as evident by Black Twitter yet they are more temporal and draw heavily on pop culture. At the same time having a deep meme game also signifies status in digital culture.

I believe in a digital world we need to ensure students control the spaces where they are defining themselves.

This what scares me. We have added silos as an intermediary in the positive and negative experiences students have.

An algorithm gets to decide which friends a friend shares communication. A hidden box controls what experience gets reinforced in youth culture.

Think about that. We have handed off the creation and curation of identities of children to corporations.

What does this mean for digital culture?

I found this theory of action that I drafted for the consideration of participant facilitators. I would hesitate to say that it was the theory of action of CLMOOC, because our intention setting and planning was messier than this, but I remember it being well received, generating discourse across the planning team and being regarded as helpful. I clearly brought a working definition to the work evidenced by this draft.

I am okay with people calling places like Twitter and Google+ open in the ways they were used in clmooc. Are you? Can open learning happen on closed systems?

We welcome you to share thoughts and ideas as we come together and reflect on so many years of #clmooc Just remember to tag posts clmooc, plus any other tag you want

@troyhicks try to avoid these meta organizational sentences I know it is expected in the genre of academic writing but we can be more creative in our transitions and laying out how we organize.

We will journey through the past of digital writing and then explore the possibilities together so you will know how to reach out and rekindle....

Often the wrong way. We went from an open web where everyone controlled where they published to a homogenized world of corporate silos where alogrithims influence what we read and thus what we write.

Web 2.0 became the corporate web.

True critical digital literacies must begin by taking back control of your identity.

I need to check this out.

I think we are moving into the third and not second decade. Although you and I presented at some of the earliest NCTE sessions on digital wrting and those were in 2007.

Yes the technology has changed but they we we learn to write is not the fundamentally different.

Pedagogy first. Always

Good practices? Here are a couple of critiques of the phrase best practices.

1. When “Best Practice” is Bad Practice

2. Best Practices Are the Worst

Not trying to nitpick here, but as a teacher I find it more important to be able to look at any writing practice (digital or otherwise) and see how it fits my learners and our learning niche. I am always surprised at what works and what doesn't and how the trifling-est practice sometimes works. I understand, too, that the reason we propose 'best practice' and do research to determine what is best practice is to pare down on the universe of options available to us as teachers and learners. As an experiment ask a student what they might consider best practice for learning a particular thing and I think you might be surprised. Oh, right, students don't enter into best practice except as we practice it upon them.

Is the phrase "digital writing" as fraught as "digital native"? Or has it morphed into just plain writing? I still find myself bridging the gap analog -digital gap. For example, a summer goal is to make annotation of pdf's as close to paper as I can. I invested in a reMarkable tablet to make this happen. Do I consider it "digital writing"--yes and no. It is the merging of digital and analog. I do it so as to have less friction and quicker feedback with students. None of this matters if students can't take in the feedback or if my feedback sucks, but that is another pedagogic and compositional concern.

Here is the thing the next decade of digital writing would be best served if it looked like the digital writing of yesterday.

Let's stick to html on domains students own.

Cultural knowledge or folk knowledge as Campbell put it?

Even Dewey felt a critical stance was a specific type of thought. I believe this is essential in our networked world.

Chalk this up to another definition of the web by John Dewey

This reminds me of Gee's circuit of reflective thought. or Kaku's Human consciousnes:

involves the ability to create a model of the world and then simulate the model of the world in order to obtain a goal. Maybe reflection is consciousness. Can one be conscious and not be in a reflective state. Is that the primitive brain?

Or when we are far down on Maslow's scale. Then again a hungry or shlterless person would reflect on that a lot.

Maybe its just when automatcity must take over either due to skill or situation.

Seeing again this delineation between thinking and critical thinking.

Three kinds of thinking:

1. thinking is being conscious of a thing
2. two we only think of things not present
3. thinking is limited to evidence and testimony

Defining things is hard.

This sounds very much like disciplinary literacies to me. Also has the who dispositions focus is all the rage.

Too bad we don't know much more about measuring dispositions now than we did 118 years ago. Go back to "multiplication of studies" not what Dewey meant but love the irony?

Sound familiar?

It is important to recognize how culture influences orality.

How does Pruitt still have a job?

Going to use this as a guide.

This is the problem. Our tax code shouldn't be messed with just to win elections.

Politicians should try to change laws because they believe what they are doing is right.

We could take notes and then also use the tags as a form of qualitative codebook.

Machine learning can be leveraged here

How can we measure critical collaboration skills? It is clear authentic tasks and models are necessary. Digital Field placements can make this happen

We must focus our use of edtech on this area.

Technology plays a peripheral role

I wonder why if it was about nothing why the meeting wasn't reported

I think this customer satisfaction is the key differntiator

When you bootstrap you are forced to make customers the only priority.

Couros model of open pedagogy

interesting metaphor for open here

cite this for the failing social compact and the importance of open

Can open be the new compact?

open was the original goal of land grant institutions.

permeable boundaries and identities. Is permutation an important metaphor?

distributed human and physcial capital is important.

This seems to be one of the oldest defintions I could find

John Seely Brown suggested open pedagogy would emerge.

open planning open products open post-hoc

woodward describng #thoughtvectors

Tom Woodward defintion

Be as open as poissble, use modern online learnign pedagogies Use OER peer tp peer over self study use social learning leverage massive participation

Remix is part of open pedagogy

There is an insight here with pedagogy. Not sure what. As we use open pedagogy we oursleves become more open. Maybe part of the them that open is really a journey and state of mind.

Open pedagogy may have positive results for learners.

I think this has more to do with the domian rather than the nature of open learning. I coudl have open learning in basic physics where mroe traditional models of measurement coul;d track progress.

Is this a benifit or a quality. Chick and egg?

maybe networked , rather than expansion. I find students need many scaffolds of community to start.

A key principle is agency. Though could be combined with choice.

Yes we can (and shoudld) openly license our course work but what in our couse design must shitf when working in the open?

All of the descritpions of open pedagogy seem to put the openness on the content and artifacts and not in the learner.

To me, this is a limited definition of "open." What exactly are we opening? Just the resource itself? Just the price or access to the resource? What about it's composition? Does opening the composition or interpretation of a close resource count as open pedagogy?

Not necessary in truest sense. Look at Rhizo14 and Rhizo15 for great learning with no direction and no assignment.

Reciprocal teaching has always focused on strategy instruction what I see is more a strategy exchange in open pedagogy. There is a collective toolbox and some people hold more parts than others.

This is much smaller than remixing. Though in many ways a summary is a remix. Still I wonder if the effet size would hold as the degrees of freedom of the derivative work grow.

What does teacher clarity mean when the community is the teacher which is often the model found in open pedagogy?

Does a non-derivative license by definition make something open or less open?

This is critical. In most fluent of open pedagogy spaces participants are there to create what they believe is the highest expression of art in their domain.

Hattie's work is also very influential in my world view. In fact it forms the background to all the facilitating I do around teacher observation. Yet Open Pedagogy speaks to so much more than efficacy. In many ways it isn't always as efficient, yet the messness is where real learnign occurs.

When I think about Open Pedagogy I am also drawn to Friere:

David as written a lot about Open Pedagogy. Explore his stuff.

Open is both an attitude and a continuum. Together they make open a journey. When it comes to open pedagogy we are now simply referring to the map and the compass. Some paths are well carved but others are still left unexplored.

How large a population would this require? It would be interesting to peek into the future and see what impact OER has in the grander scale.

General openness is something we should be considering in OER. Is it possible to be too open? What are the extremes of OER and open? What controls or safeguards would protect from either extreme?

I really like this analogy

This sets up a binary. You can not be "open"unless you are fully open? What does that mean when I draft a document on Google Docs? I have granualr control over permissions but someone own's my data. Is it open? Must learning occur on on a FOSS (free and open source software) to be considered part of open pedagogy?

Did they not ask for lists of scientists working on climate change during transition? Did they not wipe any mention of climate change from whitehouse.gov on a day one? Did they not put a gag order on science?

Make this into make a new comic strip about copyright encouraging creativity.

There has to be a good gif of different kinds of art flying at you. That will make a cool scene

Have a frame with two characters one for each motivation.

Make this a pop up character. Pointing for more info? Possibly one reoccurring scene.

I need to resize these gifs.

The problem with observations is they have been too minimal. One of the key differences to high performing charters when compared to their urban peers has been the amount of observation and coaching involved in the classroom.

This is what happens when economists speak of teaching. They see it as merely controlling students and ensuring that they are all in their seats like good little cattle. Don't forget all of these VAM models came from agriculture. My students aren't cattle.

Could we not make the same argument about the test scores? If NAEP and TIMMS growth have been stagnant for the last 25 years doesn't that mean accountability based reform are a waste of money?

The idea that any employee should go through the year and not have an observation and be evaluated by their supervisor seems silly,

We needed a study for this.They are uncorrelated because they are different measures. That being said we do not pay enough attention to capacity of evaluators nor do we use teacher observations in growth models.

Just because we should doesn't mean we can. I just do not think enough unique variance year over year can be teased out from teacher effects

A good observation report should make the connection to student learning. Too often evaluators do not focus on the learning.

Actually a good teacher observation model is much more than a checklist approach. It is not a dichotomous measure as the author suggests

Slow and low, that is the tempo Let it flow, let yourself go

Another way to phrase the statment

Is it a stream? What we had before was a stream. Literally at /stream. This is now at /search and I'm wondering if there's a pedagogical difference between the two a la Mick Caulfield's distinction between stream and garden.

How will this feedback be delivered in your de-centralized LMS, Greg?

This is in part why, before the release of this great Activity Pages feature, we build in "homework submission" to our Canvas app. The response was controversial, though. When exactly does this tracking pathways become something dangerous in terms of data collection?

So life long learning can only happen in "the open?" Seems like Hegarty is describing their ideal arc rather than the arc-of-life learning.

I also wonder when we stop describing learning and we are just talking about being a human. Is there a difference?

Binaries are never fun. Open to me is more of a continuum.

Hyperlinking is how the workflow of most classes built on open pedagogy work. Usually students run their own blog and then syndicate to some course hub,

One of my favorite thought leaders when it comes to networked learning spaces.

Writing in threes. We as humanity are drawn to it.

Essential in development of open pedagogy. Really inseparable. It is the tool of the action, and the activity lead to the evolution of the tool.

This makes sense. That way you aren't constantly bringing up a keyword, which can become repetitive.

It is extremely important to connect diversity within your university or community. As a world, we need to be aware of the population we are living in today and the expectations that we have within our community.

Biographies and autobiographies can only benefit students by providing them with real and accurate information! If students want to learn about something or someone specific they should automatically turn to a biography or autobiography.

I thought our mind were to be clear of thought or is to be a single focus on this thought?

A strong vibe of staying in tune with nature. Again getting at how nature is defined will be necessary for understanding.

An important critique for our attention economuy

Seeing many connections to Ram Das and "Be Here Now"

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

Must we accept fate? Can it not be shaped by our actions?

II need to think on this some more. Seems to be a key consideration. there free will in this model or is man's will as apart of the whole simply another step in the same cosmic dance.

The inevitability of our monir existence on this planet. It is a little ironic to read something over 2,00 years old writing that our lives our mere winds. I guess some blow harder than others.

To control desires, squash passions, and eat sparsely one must have control over the physical as well as the mental body.

Interesting so is hope not considered a kind of passion,. What is the rationality of hope?

Why not just deserved occasions? Is it best to only criticize laterally?
