YouTube's latest initiative aims to foster educational content

YouTube's latest initiative aims to foster educational content
Mark Satter, EdScoop, 2018/07/24
This is maximum praise for what I think is really minimal effort. Referencing last Friday's blog post by YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, the article states "YouTube Learning will provide grants and promotion for education-focused content, expert organizations and learners."

Google launches a DRM-free audiobook store

Google launches a DRM-free audiobook store
Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing, 2018/07/24
There's no reason why audiobooks should be loaded with digital rights management (DRM) technology long after we've seen the success of both music and video distribution in open MP3 and MP4 formats. But as Cory Doctorow notes, Audible, which was acquired by Amazon a couple of years ago, controls more than 90% of the audiobook market. More...

An IndieWeb Magazine on Flipboard

An IndieWeb Magazine on Flipboard
Chris Aldrich, 2018/07/24
I don't think much of FlipBoard because, as Chris Aldrich says, it's just another silo. I nonetheless think it's a good idea to make indieweb more accessible to people, which this initiative does. More...

David Wiley, iterating toward openness, 2018/07/24

‘Find Your Passion’ Is Awful Advice
Olga Khazan, The Atlantic, 2018/07/20

This article summarizes Carol Dweck's recently published opposition to the idea of 'finding your passion', suggesting that you need to build your passion for your career. The argument is based on a false dilemma, "the difference between the two mind-sets. More...

Tracking Disinformation by Reading Metadata

Tracking Disinformation by Reading Metadata
Amelia Acker, Data & Society, Medium, 2018/07/20

It's still pretty easy to distinguish between human spammers and bots (which is why the excuses given by Facebook and Twitter ring hollow). For example, "'Joey' has tweeted more than 500 times every day for three years." Pretty clearly a bot. More...

Dear Mr. Ford…
Doug Peterson, doug — off the record, 2018/07/20

This is the title of one link in Doug Peterson's weekly wrap-up but all of the posts reflect, in one way or another, on the sea change in Ontario education being caused by the new government. It's not just about curriculum change - consider the segment where he talks about different things stressing different people (contra the old instructivist model of everything). More...

Mindset Marketing, Behaviorism, and Deficit Ideology

Mindset Marketing, Behaviorism, and Deficit Ideology
Ryan Boren, 2018/07/19

This is a longish discussion and (mostly) collection of resources on the idea that successful learning requires a particular mindset (such as a 'growth mindset' or 'grit' or some such thing). These mindsets, argues Ryan Boren, become products that are marketed as part of learning technology. But they are misdirections. More...
