The
thinginess of the web:
Participation
Collaboration
Crap
detection
Q: Why
do the powerful sneer at Media Studies?
A:
Because they do not want us to detect their crap!!
This is
our play
Not ‘digi-lit 101’
byte-sized skills
MCQ'd up the whazoo.
When writing
we do not start with a sentence – but with an idea – with something to say – we
struggle to articulate and make meaning…
Till in
school we are told we cannot spell – or punctuate.
That our
grammar is deficit.
That we are
deficit
Broken.
That we need
to be fixed.
Digitally different
And not
yet corralled
Seeds a
different learning
A model
Of
enactment.
We learn
because we want to
we
struggle with meaning and the meaningful…
We wrestle
for
voice
for space.
We engage
we have something to say…
beyond the cats and dogs and porn and
trolls – there is the ineffable beauty of our saying it for ourselves – saying
it ourselves.
Threshold
Concept:
The
portal once crossed
This age
This
time
We can
re-frame
learning.
We can
seed
generative, collaborative
ideas of
learning
Not new:
Bruner
had the will to learn
Winnicott
played
fiercely
alive
fiercely
himself.
BUT
this
medium is the message
The web
in its essence invites connection, re-configuring, innovation…
Is an
eco-system of connections…
We are
the web!!
Trying
out loud
Celebrating
Experiential
The RIF and re-mix culture.
Defeating
‘cheating, collusion and plagiarism’
to
connect – create – re-purpose.
Read –
write – participate…
Doing,
making, crafting.
It’s the
joy of these ‘awkward first moments’
of
something so momentous:
of Doctorow
and the beginning of history…
Tell
yourself
Curate
your life
Fall off
the edge.
#nugget
Saw the
redacted Udell article-poem – went straight into ‘Managing the Assessment and
Feedback Process’ with a sheet of arguments for and against the specificity of assessment
criteria; referenced #ccourses; set the task of redacting the arguments to
produce individual criteria poems; we read out our poems.
Smiley
Face!!
