@courosa @kfasimpaur Connected Learning is a research-defined/described framework. Note the capitals.

@courosa @kfasimpaur @Seecantrill I'd say Connected Learning is an attempt at more intentional pathway, where the agents know what it means.

Original Tweet: https://twitter.com/budtheteacher/status/445310804863094784

@courosa @kfasimpaur @Seecantrill Lessening importance? Nah. Changing the rules of what "counts" as learning? Yeah.

Original Tweet: https://twitter.com/budtheteacher/status/445311588401033216


@budtheteacher The intention piece makes sense. The big difference, I see, is focus on academics as vital role. @kfasimpaur @Seecantrill

@courosa @kfasimpaur @Seecantrill Its a piece of the puzzle. A bridging of school and not school.

What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.

It's also been harder to find speakers, because now the presentations are a lot less scripted — more improv comedy than reading from slides. But on the plus side, more physicists have started attending.

He points out physicists often have a lot of graphs and data to share, and with access to just a whiteboard, he has to be much more selective about what to present. He also explains that he has to make sure his audience is following his train of thought — he can't just advance to the next slide anymore

Since 2009, the President has provided proven tools to combat poverty, investing more than $350 million in 100 of the nation's persistent pockets of poverty. 
Building on those efforts, in his State of the Union Address earlier this year, the President laid out an initiative to designate a number of high-poverty communities as Promise Zones, where the federal government will partner with and invest in communities to create jobs, leverage private investment, increase economic activity, expand educational opportunities, and improve public safety.

Great question: what are the conditions that result in non-adoption by youth? #DML2014
imagine that the conditions.. are that we are expecting an adoption of something.. rather than simply listening.. so the conditions of non-adoption....anything compulsory.. anything with an agenda (other than the person's).. anything with a raised eyebrow..
we need to focus less on adoption of things.. and more on adapting.. to the flow of whimsy.. the chaordic ness of curiosity.. no?
