Michael Crow and Jeffrey Selingo call for another Morril act of 1962 to fix online learning...but I think we should follow the 1891 there digital hubs should be in the community colleges and not in "elite" r1 schools #HigherEd
Don't do pre-platform vs platform era...compare it in a lens of all human literacy....When have we concentrated reading, writing, in participating in such a small finite number of corporations? This is a bad idea on so many levels.
@goifoundation doing same thing in Ghana with #wikidata projects :https://twitter.com/Sadike25/status/1276189966394167296 and #oer and #IndieWeb projects https://goifnetwork.org/ local knowledge = empowered youth. Deplatforming is decolonizing the web.
We need to root the future of the web in our local libraries and schools, connect to our art organizations. Industrial capitalism already exploited life and labor from the Black and Brown. Let's not do the same thing with digital.
Why we set up https://tech-4-teens.club in #nhv. Every teen participant gets an #IndieWeb website connected by webmentions. We are rooting it in student passion and telling stories as they choose to do video, podcast, or photo
If we want to fix #OnlineLearning in #HigherEd then we must recenter #onlinelearning in margainalized communities. Step one, take back the poles, fight for municipal bandwidth. Step two, give every kid a device,

If you want to fix online learning for BIPOC #k12 and #HigherEd students you need A: BIPOC students and teachers. and B: Faculty that teach. Public research universities have neither of those things.
IMO leads to better online discourse, best way to to know how truth is shaped is to shape your own. Plus people less likely to shout and vandalize their own front porch, and finally it is best way to address equity issues in tech
"Online Teaching" Crisis really a "teaching crisis" in #HigherEd..just made it evident for everyone to see and racial and economic inequity is big driver. You don't fix racism by rooting power in institutions of the white elite
When you tell youth don't own your data, don't control where you publish you are setting them up for world where all profit has already been extracted and will never trickle down to the artists centered in marginalized communities
@holden @mburtis 12 years just a blip in all of human literate history,...Don't like the vision of the future unfolding, and have to disagree. I do want students blogging. Best way to know how truth is shaped is to shape your own.
Granted literacy been just a much a tool of oppression as liberation but for all of human history we have rooted in three places: church, school. library....the commercial influence arose with industrialism but t still local
I love @jselingo and @michaelcrow ideq of "digital hubs" but I want to follow more a #GearUpWorks model rather than an #IES model...Flexibility over fidelity. People values over p values.
"DoEd should select and fund three to five public research universities as “Digital Hubs.”...public research universities where faculty don't teach and students are all white....https://www.politico.com/news/agenda/2020/06/25/the-smart-way-to-improve-online-learning-338664 #HigherEd
