This is a story of how powerful people’s voices are louder, get heard, used, perpetuated, even when they’ve been influenced by little people. And power here is relative, of course. Most people in this story are not the littlest Even worse: I see many people acknowledging different perspectives on open pedagogy now BUT STILL going on to use David’s “OER-enabl

Greg McVerryRep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) argued it was one thing for Trump to travel to Iraq to visit U.S. troops during the shutdown and another for Pelosi to do so. "I think the president of the United States represents the entire country as commander in chief, I think if he wants to speak to the troops, that it certainly honors our entire nation," Turner told CNN's Wolf

Greg McVerryAnother great piece that has me thinking about ants and social networks Primarily, in a distributed process, there is never central control, while in division of labour there might be. A leader can tell one citizen to make candles and another to make shoes. In a distributed process this would happen through local interactions, for example with people who wan
Greg McVerryh/t to @lauraritchie for stumbling on the metaphor of the ant colony and social networks.
Greg McVerrythe danger of women and children? A massive drop off in illegal crossings from migrants...where is the crisis....
