The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler’s high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros’ Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.

  • I’m still alive. That cold/flu thing I had for what was it? three weeks? four? almost got me, though. I’ve heard conflicting data. Either you’re sick your first year working with children or your first three years. I’m really hoping it’s the former because this is just nuts. Three flippin’ years? Children are way too boogery.
  • When polled, folks who work with children say children are the result of 98.37% parents/environment and 1.63% actual biology/mental happenings. If ye be a parent, be ye not a fucktard. At least teach them how to blow their nose instead of just digging around in it for something slimy and hard.
  • The Drag Show pictures. I KNOW. I’M WORKIN’ ON ‘EM. It’s just that 800 pictures is a lot to go through, you know? I, too, wish they’d edit themselves. The lighting this year was just way too low.
  • There are 18 days until one of my major knitting gifts must be given. EIGHT-TEEN. I’m awash in non-wooly, organic cotton stress.
  • It’s flippin’ cold here, folks. And that makes me cranky.

It surely was amazing, yes.

    On the flip side, the majority of the state of California voted to WRITE INTO THEIR CONSTITUTION A BAN AGAINST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

    How can a constitution DENY RIGHTS?

    So now, all the tens of thousands of couples who already entered into the marriage contract may be told, “Whoops! It turns out you’re actually NOT citizens! Your marriage is annulled! Sorry! But we can still be neighbors and friends and co-workers, right?”

    What. The. Fuck.

    You want to talk about change?

    How about recognizing ALL citizens as having inalienable rights?
