It's time for a change. And not only grades, but the choice of learning. Lots to learn from homeschooled kids and their parents.
Jon,
I also found this article very interesting and ultimately unsatisfying. Although I found the ideas interesting, I (like you) needed more detail.
I also appreciated what you said about having a large enough delay in a feedback loop to allow for context independence. This is something I have been experimenting with in my own Elgg site.
I agree. I downloaded a bunch of watches faces and apps hoping that they will still work after they go out of business. My understanding is that they went bankrupt and fitbit bought the IP and some assets.
Jon,
This is a great discussion. I especially like this quote:
No matter how cool and groovy your problem-based, inquiry-based, active methods might be, if they are imposed on students (especially with the use of threats for non-compliance and rewards for compliance - e.g. qualifications, grades, etc) then it is not unteaching at all: it’s just another way of doing the same kind of teaching that caused the problem in the first place.
And I am going to be sharing it with my teacher education colleagues, especially the more rigid and didactic ones.
Thanks.

EFF talks about it too, but see the note at the end of article. Fact is, 100% privacy isn't achievable, and even Tor needs "special care" in order to protect against replay attacks.
Indeed. What I really like about Signal, though, rather than its security and privacy (which are definitely good things to cherish) are its freedoms: freedom from any profit motivation, freedom of its code, freedom from the possibility of exploitation. I am deeply fed up with cloud 'services' that, thanks to the driving force of capitalist economics, provide more service to the supplier than the consumer, and that are consequently very fragile, highly prone to abuse, and destructively competitive, with proprietary lock-in pretty much a given. It seems to me that basic internet infrastructure should either be more like a public service or, if it must be privately owned, then open competition, with open interoperable standards, without proprietary lock-in, is critical.
i love this. And congrats on the prognostication.
I wanted if there is a candle for the "New Blackboard" smell.
And my husband laughed at me when I told him there was nothing like the smell of a new computer! I'll have to get one!!!

Nothing to be sad about. He enjoyed every moment of his life, the best he could. He was ready.
Hallelujah.

Hmmm. That explains a strange comment from a Christian fundamentalist friend on Facebook about Donald being "The Trumpet". Something to do with a much-anticipated doomsday.
The inevitable result of increasing rewards (or punishments - they are functionally equivalent) is to further quench any love of learning that might be left at this point in their school careers, to reinforce harmful beliefs about how to learn, and to further put students off the subjects they might have loved under other circumstances for life. In years to come people will look back on barbaric practices like this much as we now look back at the slave trade or pre-emancipation rights for women.
Studies like this make me feel a bit sick.
I totally agree.
David Wiley put it this way: "Vendors can control how, when, where, and with what specific brands of technological assistance audiences are able to access content. You buy, but you don't get!" I was thinking in terms of DRM on digital textbooks and did not think of it being applicable to smart devices also. DRM software needs deep permissions into the operating system so DRM can stop normal operating system functions in ANY device. Audrey Watters puts it this way: "We all just “share” and “rent” on the powerful platforms of Silicon Valley billionaires; this is far from a satisfactory alternative
Can we not own & control our own property?

2018 now, and is there a new term for feudalism on a global scale? (apart from Fascism -i.e., I/we know what's best for you)
