@xolotl If you know of any non profit or company into annotation who would want to commission a study on the use of collaborative annotation, digital annotation, and paper, I might know a guy who would totally be down to conducting the research.

Some thorny issues are worth avoiding but be aware of invasive species that destroy the spul and require immediate notification of authorities. #clmooc

@xolotl test three conditions: social annotations, annotating on blog/word doc, paper annotation. The dependent variable would be tough across institutions, don't want just a summary, possibly trace idea units across graphic organizers or papers.

If we weren't doing any mixed level modeling to test a variety of conditions we could do the study with a relatively small sample (75-100) wonder if @remikilar be interested. His tools surface metrics well could be useful.

I am beginning to think we have to recognize the network as an important, if not the most important part of knowledge and meaning making. #clmooc Do studies show often show increases in student achievement? No, these horse race studies never shine positive on technology and networked learning. In fact more research, which may show early signs of replication

@cjwillcock Wow such fun piece...squishy meaning of coagulated flavored sugar...that I love...here is why metaphors in writing work: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/07/16/metaphors-provide-readers-a-journey-edu407sum19 #clmooc I highly recommend the Lakoff talk, but any time a writer is stuck my advice: fall back to metaphor

Thanks for doing the writing challenge with #edu407Sum19 gonna share the building blocks and tricks of good writing. Small solutions to show writing isn't a big problem. First response was great, may have extended the comparison in the content.
