Helen Keller on Optimism | eSkills | Happiness | Community | Harmony | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.brainpickings.org - June 2, 2015 2:59 AM

"Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend."

Decades before the dawn of the positive psychology movement and a century before what neuroscience has taught us about the benefits of optimism, Helen Keller — the remarkable woman who grew up without sight and hearing until, with the help of her teacher Annie Sullivan, she learned to speak, read, write, and inhabit the life of the mind with such grace and fierceness that made her one of history’s most inspired intellectual heroes — penned a timeless treatise on optimism as a philosophy of life. Simply titled Optimism(public library; public domain), it was originally published in 1903 and written — a moment of pause here — after Keller learned to write on a grooved board over a sheet of paper, using the grooves and the end of her index pencil to guide her writing.

Online communities are quick to form, but they're just as quick to fade, to become less open and to become less trusting because sometimes we have a cultural orientation toward taking, not giving. We forget to feed the network first, to take care of those we care about.

 

Here's a possible standard: is it open, fair and good for others? If it's not, the community asks that you take your selfish antics somewhere else.

 

Call me naive, but I think it's possible (and likely) that the digital tribes we're forming are going to actually change things for the better.

 

          ===> But not until we embrace the fact that we are us.<===

Curators Create The Metadata Needed To Enable Our Emerging Collective Intelligence

Curators Create The Metadata Needed To Enable Our Emerging Collective Intelligence | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From henryjenkins.org - August 18, 2012 10:33 AM

Robin Good: Participatory culture writer and book author Henry Jenkins interviews cyberculture pioneer Howard Rheingold (Net Smart, 2012) by asking him to explain some of the concepts that have helped him become a paladin of the  and "new literacies" so essential for survival in the always-on information-world we live in today.

 

This is part three of a long and in-depth interview (Part 2, Part 1) covering key concepts and ideas as the value of "community" and "networks", the architecture of participation, affinity working spaces, and curation.

Here is a short excerpt of Howard response to a question about curation and its value as both a “fundamental building block” of networked communities and as an important form of participation:

 

Howard Rheingold: "...at the fundamental level, curation depends on individuals making mindful and informed decisions in a publicly detectable way.

 

Certainly just clicking on a link, “liking” or “plussing” an item online, adding a tag to a photograph is a lightweight element that can be aggregated in valuable ways (ask Facebook).

 

But the kind of curation that is already mining the mountains of Internet ore for useful and trustworthy nuggets of knowledge, and the kind that will come in the future, has a strong literacy element.

 

Curators don’t just add good-looking resources to lists, or add their vote through a link or like, they summarize and contextualize in their own words, explicitly explain why the resource is worthy of attention, choose relevant excerpts, tag thoughtfully, group resources and clearly describe the grouping criteria."

 

In other words, "curators" are the ones creating the metadata needed to empower our emerging collective intelligence.

 

Curation Is The Social Choice About What Is Worth Paying Attention To.

 

Good stuff. In-depth. Insightful. 8/10

You're welcome :)

It's interesting interesting that you mention POV and stance, as that is not something I had explicitly articulated for myself, but naturally it must be implicitly true. In that sense, it reminds me (again) that curation forces self-reflection in order to present the content better, and that can only be a good thing.
Liz Renshaw's comment, September 8, 2012 9:57 PM
Agree with posts about curation guiding self reflection. This interview in particular is top value and two of my fav people indeed.
Andrew McRobert's curator insight, August 19, 2014 8:43 AM

8. This links a series of three interviews quite lengthy but there is some insightful information for the novice in the digital information age. There is video links within the article, including a great question and answer with Robin Good on curation. The video brings a balance to this inclusion.

Create a Personal Learning Network in 2015 | PLN | PKM

Create a Personal Learning Network in 2015 | PLN | PKM | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From ed4online.com - February 15, 2015 12:28 PM
What is a Personal Learning Network (PLN)?  A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is an informal learning network of professionals, industry thought-leaders or organizations. Building a PLN allows one to connect with others who create, curate and/or share valuable information with the intent to educate others in their community. PLNs allow two or more people, who might not know one another personally, to come together to exchange information.

Connect, Share, Communicate this is how "Personal Learning Network" is defined. But if the point is to be in touch with people, is it accurate to use the word "Personal" ?

Why You Should Build a Community of Learners in Your School > Eye On Education

Why You Should Build a Community of Learners in Your School > Eye On Education | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From eyeoneducation.com - January 26, 2013 6:47 AM

This tip discusses how school leaders can build a strong learning-focused environment in their district or school.

 

High-Impact Leaders Ask:

 

- When do teachers come together to talk about teaching and learning?

 

- What are the expectations for teachers to continue their professional development?

 

- Have we established a culture of questioning and inquiry?

 

- Is professional development site-specific and aligned with the needs assessment and goals of the school?

 

- Do teachers use assessment results to drive instructional decisions on an ongoing basis?

 

- Do teachers have opportunities for looking at student work?

 

- Do we see ourselves as a community of learners that can continuously improve through collaboration, assessment of results, and reflection?

 

===> A high-impact school is a community of practice in which learning, experimentation, and reflection are the norm. <===

 

There is a sense of common purpose based on a collective understanding of the community served by the school and the staff’s capacity to work together toward this common purpose. Everyone works together to assure that diverse voices and beliefs are heard and that consensus truly results in what is good for the whole school and every student.

I chose this resource to provide a better understanding on teacher issues.

 

I chose this resource to use for motivation or general ideas to become a better principal and educational leader.

 

School culture is an important part of the success for teachers and leaders.
