Against close reading

Against close reading
Alex Reid, Digital Digs, 2015/04/15
There are some really good observations in this post. The practise of 'close reading' as it is widely taught involves "the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of text."

Website, Keybase, 2015/04/15
OK, honestly, I don't understand all the details, but I think this - or something like this - is pretty important. Keybase is a website where you can "get a public key, safely, starting just with someone's social media username(s)." I used it to create my own public key and associate it with my accounts on Twitter and Github. More...

VR and consciousness – some truly freakish ideas

VR and consciousness – some truly freakish ideas
Donald Clark, Donald Clark Plan B, 2015/04/17
I experience the arbitrariness of consciousness every day. I put on my glasses, and my whole world changes. More recently, I have enjoyed the altered consciousness of being completely immersed in sound by means of my MP3 player and some quality earbuds. More...

I have two major things to say about this site. First, analytics and recommendations are becoming commoditized. This is one of a number of services revolving around the concept of learning about you and recommending resources. More...

How Critical Thinking and Media Literacy Efforts Are ‘Backfiring’ Today
Tony Wan, EdSurge, 2018/03/08

Nice post from Bud Hunt on his experiences during a student protest against guns. "It’s easy for me to forget, in the humdrum of spreadsheets and TPS reports and invoices and administrivia, that there are real fights to fight, and real struggles of the head and heart and hands that require my, and many others’ attention," he writes.

The free online courses that are putting college in reach
Nicole Freeling, University of California, 2018/03/08

And for many people, as this article makes clear, that's still the choice. More...
