Digital Mythologies

Image
  Digital Mythologies Synthetic verses spill from the speaker grille, a slow hum in a room lit by a screen. Multifaceted. Diverse arrays of ghost-light painting the walls. For all things living, and the things that just… pulse. A nervous system of wire and glass. A sense of the dynamic, the feedback loop, the urgency. The immediate challenges are headlines scrolling in red under a static-filled sky. Transcending conventional aesthetic limitations… The glitch is the new sublime, The corrupted file, a sacred text. A world… increasingly shaped, moulded by god-like, power-based forces Humming behind the firewall, writing our stories In a language we can no longer read.

Educators connecting with students - courage

Image
Back to the future There seems to be an effort in many levels of education to simplify and return to the golden age of education when administering teaching and learning was easier.    Standardization: 2nd way of service delivery I cannot describe this golden age but it has something to do with not being able to deal with; complexity,  feeling confused by multiple options, moving from knowing systems,  moving from knowing procedures,  moving from knowing processes,  moving from knowing methodology, moving from knowing content, and moving to knowing the student.  Question The simple question I have   Do we as educators want to connect with our students; do we want to connect on our terms, or  do we want to connect in courage and compassion to embrace the vulnerability of our learning relationships?
