Comment on Digital artefact: Post-human classroom by cpsaros

Daniel, thanks for letting me know how you read it. I think its always interesting to see how we navigate different digital spaces.

I wanted to use all my own photos but unfortunately Thinglink wouldn’t let me upload the ‘links’ unless I bought the premium version which I tried to do but was only allowed to purchase it as a business because of European VAT laws.

The main big photo is mine, as is the picture on the board. I set it up in one of the classrooms were I work. The images in the links are hyperlinks to images available online, unfortunately my only option on the free version.

Comment on Digital artefact: Post-human classroom by cmiller

“the liar living in the formal network of the lie”.

Excellent I love this line!

We are all complicit in that which we seek to critique, but there are those who would rather deny a sense of self, than to admit that there is wrong in what they do.

I enjoyed exploring your “thinglink”. I wonder if it was designed to be read from front to back, as our eye is drawn through the perspective, or top to bottom, as might a machine…

Comment on Instagram: Race, gender, sexuality and class by jknox

Nice connection here between Haraway’s (rather classic) cyborg manifesto and present day politics.

I wonder though, what can you say about the role of technology here. Haraway clearly has something to say about the ‘cyborg’, but how does that kind of relationship with technology relate to contemporary political exchanges? How is technology involved in the expression, or indeed the control over, race, sexuality or class?

Comment on Enhanced – discourse and other pretty bots by jknox

Really enjoyed this Chenée!

This was a fantastic idea – to undertake a bit of a micro-ethnography/discourse analysis of BETT, drawing on Bayne’s TEL critique (2014), and I really like the way you approached it. We’ll be doing more around micro-ethnography in the next block!

Really liked your comments on Snapchat filters too. I think this is such an interesting area (and one we’ll perhaps touch on in block 3 when we look at algorithms): automated visuals that change our appearance. It reminds me of the ‘selfie’ camera on one of my phones (a Xiaomi), which helpfully tells you your gender and your age when you look into it. Of course, its hilarious, because it usually gets it completely wrong. However, really fascinating issues around normalising gender and age appearances.

Great to see that you bumped into my colleague too!

Comment on Performativity and collapse of context in an educational space. Week 2 by jknox

This is a really interesting post Chenée, and performativity is certainly a productive way of analysing lifestream blogs on this course. Do remember, however, that the focus of these weekly summaries should be directed at your lifestream content specifically, rather than general reflect on the course. We need to see how you are explaining your lifestream choices each week.

Nevertheless, this is a super reflection, and one that definitely has a place in your blog. The nature of what we’re trying to do with the lifestream – logging our activity on the web – necessarily blurs the boundaries between our ‘learner’ and our ‘social’ identities (amongst others). I do feel that we need to curate our lifestream, as part of showing our awareness of how we present ourselves, and our activities, online. Working on the public web as we are on this course will encourage more of a ‘content collapse’ than other courses, however we should be making choices about what is relevant.

Comment on Enhanced – discourse and other pretty bots by hwalker

A brilliant video Chenee and a really interesting area to consider: how we can use technologies to enhance the image of ourselves which we present. One much-discussed element of this is, I guess, how our social media self is a product – often a much improved and ‘enhanced’ version of our RL self.

I’m so pleased that you unpicked and questioned many of the meaningless slogans which surrounded us at BETT: TEL presumptions defined much of what was offered and the discourse around it.

Comment on Comment on Myles’s Week 2 Summary by Chenée by cmiller

Hi Chenée,

Maximising the auditory senses via floatation tanks http://ift.tt/2kIotsq ? I didn’t do any searching on it via google scholar, but that commercial website does claim flotation as a means to enhance learning. I am also minded of the Sci-fi series “Fringe” which made major use of flotation tanks, and talked about guiding voices as audio which could transfer in to the tank and in to the person floating there…. I can’t find any relevant clips on youtube, but this one gives you an idea if you haven’t seen the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJIhngSpz0Q

Comment on Tweet by npainting

Couldn’t find the time to get down to London this year but I would have loved to say hi too!

I want my blogged Tweets to look as good as yours, mine look like a word processor threw-up on my Lifestream 🙁

Did you or anyone post a tutorial – I’ve not spotted one yet…
