dLRN15 Presentations and Conversations

Great talk by @JTDellinger & @grandeped on MOOC design. No one is more innovative in MOOC design than these two. #dlrn15 @LINKResearchLab

The neutral zone. Let students choose their pathway @grandeped #dlrn15

@grandeped I'm tired of people arguing xMOOC v cMOOC-dual layer does both at same time #dlrn15

@Bali_Maha joining from Egypt @rjhogue @whitneykilgore @RMoeJo @grandeped ready for the Smackdown #dlrn15

@RMoeJo even if I were at #dlrn15 it would still be there

sarcasm warning as we open "My Theory Can Whip Your Theory - the Ontological Smackdown" at #dLRN15 :)

"theory is not just for the elite" @grandeped at #dLRN15

@Bali_Maha getting ready to talk about curriculum theory at #dlrn15

#dlrn15 My theory can whip your theory ...happening now! @Bali_Maha @grandeped @whitneykilgore @RMoeJo @rjhogue

#dlrn15 @Bali_Maha re: curriculum theory - what's planned vs. what occurs. focus on content, outcome, process &/or critical approach #dlrn15

smackdown - @whitneykilgore throws herself on the mercy of the court as the loser straight from the get-go. #dLRN15

finally. only been waiting 20 yrs, kids. @RMoeJo defines postmodernism in 3.5 minutes... #smackdown #dLRN15

brilliant. @RMoeJo's creative use of music history on a given date illustrating pomo perspectives. #dLRN15

"in ed, pomo rejects the idea that ed is broken & tech can get us back: tech is not a space to free ppl from shackles of oppression" #dLRN15

maybe ed is not about the idea of emancipating ppl from the shackles of society...maybe it IS the dominant paradigm? @RMoeJo #dLRN15

@bonstewart No but it can be a tool to unlock those shackles...or build new ones #dlrn15

@bonstewart @gravesle @mattcrosslin Great idea! #dLRN15

So @grandeped notes how metamodernism comes from idea Postmodernism is dead. My critique, as the postmodernist, was it ever alive? #dlrn15

now @grandeped takes on meta-modernism... #smackdown #dLRN15

@Profpatrice @grandeped I am tired of people arguing. Full stop. #dlrn15

@jgmac1106 if i understand @RMoeJo, even where ed unlocks it tends to create new shackles b/c it operates along narratives of truth. #dLRN15

@Profpatrice @grandeped yes. unpicking, moving beyond binaries has been a theme of many #dlrn15 discussions.

Good point @Bali_Maha! It all depends on the context which you are in. #dlrn15

#dlrn15 Great Job everyone @RMoeJo @rjhogue @grandeped @Bali_Maha @whitneykilgore My theory can whip your theory!

Yes, we always come from our own lens. Recognizing this is the first step in openness to other learners? #dLRN15

@harrietew @RMoeJo @rjhogue @grandeped @whitneykilgore thanks everyone - enjoyed our session #dlrn15

I'm starting to appreciate this concept of meta-modernism, particularly in the context of #dlrn15 cc @grandeped

Does it make you question everything or make you wonder? #dlrn15  https://twitter.com/RMoeJo/status/655487705867005952 …

The cool thing about #dLRN15 is running into a larger percentage of people that have actually heard of your work :)

We question if new ideas are ready for public consumption, but then default to Blackboard, which is definitely not ready at all. #dlrn15

We need more crying at our conferences. We're just not humanizing enough until we get more actual emotion. #dlrn15

@grandeped Ah, #dlrn15 afterhours.

80s Michael Jackson impersonator party on University in front of the pizza place! #dlrn15

And now the Michael Jackson impersonator is lip syncing to Jump by Van Halen... while dressed as Jackson. Pure. Awesomeness. #dlrn15

I wore my Blackborg shirt in honor of #dlrn15. Should have also brought my "Keep Calm and let the ID Handle it" one  https://twitter.com/JTDellinger/status/655222574897430528 …

As we humanize our education, we will also have to make room for the emotion that comes with that to be okay. #dlrn15

We are the LINk Lab! We eat stress for breakfast! Thankfully it's not breakfast time... #dlrn15

Uh oh - the concept of failure slips back in. Education and life are really not that simple. Failure/success not black and white! #dlrn15

Only a Canadian would apologize for other people not hearing about them :) #dlrn15

Humanize Them All, and Let Them Sort Themselves Out: #dLRN15 Reflections.  http://www.edugeekjournal.com/2015/10/19/humanize-them-all-and-let-them-sort-themselves-out-dlrn15-reflections/ …

@grandeped reading thru #dlrn15 posts to add to polyphonic post-conf bundle, so far your reaction seems closest to my own @JeffreyKeefer

I'm kind of profoundly pleased and perplexed that we made it through a whole conference without one mention of Vygotsky. #dlrn15

Okay, so I was wrong about Vygotsky, but I don't think anyone at #dlrn15 mentioned "disruption" in a positive light, right?

@grandeped you know I didn't hear disruption once at #dlrn15...and I was counting buzzwords in hopes of developing drinking games...

@GoogleGuacamole I was wrong about "no one mentioning Vygotsky at #dlrn15", @gsiemens pointed out that actually *I* mentioned him :)

Someday I would love to see a conference with a bunch of unknown keynote speakers. We let popularity drive the narrative way too much.

@grandeped you've used your allotment of good ideas for today. Close your laptop. You'll make the rest of us look bad.
