(In other words, I agree with Mary: Haraway's ideas are not all negative, and cyborg subjectivity has several positive "post-human" aspects.)

Oops, here's the link to Braidotti's gloss. (The other links to a long essay--and the Landing isn't letting me delete comments right now; sorry fot the clutter!)

Where did this come from? These tags would be good portfolio organizers.

hi Mary,

This is a revision of Zimmermann's ideas from his article: A Cognitive view of self-regulated learning. I created a concept map using these concepts in an earlier post. I then applied them to the application of blogging.

In the previous two tables (knolwedge and network construction processes, I drew from Lilia Efimova's work from her Mathemagenic blog, as well as from Stephen Downes' blog posts, particularly from his ARFF model to describe network building activities.

Maybe it's not too late for my grown son to master the multiplication tables .

So if I couldn't be at a meeting in person, my robot would be there in my place sticking a pen in its ear to stay awake? Cool

Isn't it wonderful? I've been intending to try doing something along these lines for a year or so now (well, without the thought-control bit - that's ultra-cool) but I have two main worries:

1. someone really has to be there to set it up in the first place and save it from untoward disasters and
2. the network at ELC leaves a bit to be desired in terms of reliability.

I'm also kind of hoping for that video screen but current systems I've found that don't cost a fortune don't have that option (though I must spend more time investigating Lego Mindstorms - definitely not an out-of-the-box solution but maybe can be built and programmed to do everything I want, given time and effort)

I wonder if someone could come up with a Pissonnet using the term Pedablogy, possibly starting the pissonnet with the phrase "Pedablogy apps" or "blog apps".

The genre seems to require single-syllable words, so you'd have to stick with blog and scrap the polysyllabic pedablogy.

Right, I did notice that but apparently forgot when I wrote my post.

still very much lurking at this point in time!

Hi Glenn,

Having been at this blogging thing for less than a week, I'm also interested in finding out what needs it best serves.  As of now, I'm thinking it may just well be the place where reporting on events, journalling, sharing ideas and meeting others all converge (at least that has been my experience this week).

I also started blogging about two weeks ago. On my blog I am talking about using the Landing as well as whatever else pops into my head, both professional and social. I have it closed to those I follow only but really doubt that anyone is reading it. The fact is I enjoy writing it regardless.

I also have a small group working (3 AU faculty) on a project together on the Landing and a private group of one, me, working on a course development project. I lke the bookmarks and am bookmarking to my profile and my private group.

I came across Tanya the other day and enjoy her insights.
