The idea of the idea come from Plato...
Plato's Cave analogy we only see the the reflection or shadow
Discussed other philosophers (Jaquard? Babbidge, etc.)
Babbidge reduced people to cogs in a machine and we live with that idea today (I of course disagree with that idea...I beleive we are moral agents but i don't have time to explicate right now. Feel free to see my dissertation (though I didn't go into that enough there). Boy I have a lot to learn still. The wonderful thing about education is awareness of your ignroance...and I am only scratching the surface!
I am glad there will be video of these session online (but when am I going to find time to watch them without having to multi-task?)
User-generated content producers makes Chris squirm...
Good ideas are messy things
Some say that expertise can just be had after 10,00 hours of practice, but he refutes that claim. there is still the idea of genius and talent
value informal relationships
technological determinism vs neutrality
sleep walking though the vast machine
Engagement is good disengagement isn't but sleep walking isn't too go either.
we always were teaching people how to work around the faulty technology we were provided
tailor and the man with the suit that doesn't fit analogy that Chris shared...reminds me of corporate training!
grading is a system that has
"The nature of an innovation is that it will arise at a fringe where ican afford to become prevalent enough to establish its usefulness without being overwhelmed by the inertia of the orthodox system." -- Who? Someone Kelly
"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty gilr is not giving the kiss the deserved attention." Alber Einstein
Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are --Jose Ortega Y Gasset
Genius is nothing but continued attention. --Who?
meditation has positive effect on attention. attention related to genius and generation of ideas!
how do we instill and promote mindful practice?
read more about flow! by you know who!
We probably all experience flow, but how do we harness that or purposefully achieve it?
Best way is to over-learn so things become second nature.
One question: if this is the Information age, how come nobody knows anything? --Who?
discussed problems with quantitative research...
books: amateurs something, dumbest generation
everything bad is good for you (another book of interest)
to love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way. --plato
trust and love great outcomes of learning
six virtues:
Wisdom and kowledge
courage
humanity
justice
Temperance
transcendence (Character Strengths and Virtues -- Peterson and Seligman)
We can reintroduce virtue and these other ideas in what we are doing in education!
bravo, Chris!
