Five ways China’s mobile culture has leapfrogged what Americans do with their phones: on.wsj.com/1HZSpDR
What’s China’s edge? Technology is often just cheaper, allowing for more frequent phone swaps. Then there’s the world’s largest Internet culture—some 649 million wired people, 86% on phones—who make an incredible test base for new ideas. Many young people leapfrogged over laptops right to smartphones as their main computing device, so phones have evolved to do more.

In terms of the former, our concern was whether code acts as a kind of pedagogy that is immanent and everywhere in daily life, running as a substratum of experience with the power to variously instruct, seduce, educate, liberate, discipline and govern people in their everyday lives and educational experiences. Tom Liam Lynch, one of the series speakers, has described this as “the hidden role of software in education,” drawing attention to how the lines of code and algorithms that constitute software actually work to produce new social relations, configure power dynamics, and generate new roles for teachers, learners and educational policymakers.

code... www...
could set us free..
will that happen if we keep ourselves in constructs of old..?
ie: Ed experiences.. ts ss policy

rev of everyday life
a nother way

The seminars, thus, sought to focus on how the interactions between code and education might impact on knowledge practices, pedagogic techniques, learner agency, identity formation and pedagogic relationships. The resulting e-book acts as a guide for interested researchers and educators to understand how code operates within the networked publics where kids hang out; how algorithms participate in the social organization of educational practices; how the knowledge taught in schools, colleges and universities flows through digital infrastructures; how teaching is increasingly being automated by software; and how digital data is being used to make educational realities visible and actionable. In this sense, “Coding/Learning” seeks to address issues raised in recent events such as the conferenceAlgorithmic Accountability, and questions raised there about the algorithmic future of education.

heavy assumptions of a human here...
science of people ness

Writing computer code is not just a technical act but a political act; it permits the programmer to construct particular models of the external world that might work through persuasion, seduction, coercion or education to change the way people think.

ie: to let people think for themselves

previously there has been no concerted effort to understand how code acts educationally, pedagogically, or instructionally, to shape how we acquire knowledge, skills and forms of conduct. What educational understandings can help us to interpret the work that code does in the world?


wondering a lot lately... these jobs of service.. ie: health, Ed, et al.. how many of the workers could imagine making their positions/titles irrelevant..

ie: they need people to remain sick, illiterate ( non-conventional defn)

@nathanjurgenson The construction of the "hacker" seems as media/marketing contrived as "maker" is elsewhere. Article reifies this.

@nathanjurgenson I like attempts to move hacking toward association as a group, toward collective organizing strategy subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contr…

04. Abstraction may be discovered or produced, may be material or immaterial, but abstraction is what every hack produces and affirms. To abstract is to construct a plane upon which otherwise different and unrelated matters may be brought into many possible relations. It is through the abstract that the virtual is identified, produced and released. The virtual is not just the potential latent in matters, it is the potential of potential. To hack is to produce or apply the abstract to information and express the possibility of new worlds.

"It makes me think of Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine, the opportunity that a disaster presents. The governor had wanted to take over many of the local schools in New Orleans prior to Katrina... Katrina happens, and within two months the state had taken over virtually every public school in New Orleans."
