#anarchismmonday I am trying to get some folk together to try an ad hoc way of getting together.Previously, we have create a MOOC for the three years running.That MOOC was loosely organized around a series of "makes", projects or ideas around the idea of 'connected learning'.I want folks to come together under that same umbrella, but I don't want any controlling idea other than "let's get together/ talk connected learning" Do our tools (FB/twitter/g+/instagram) keep this from happening? 1/2

Tools ALWAYS matter.

The form matters.

For the time being, I am enjoying this form with around 500 chars as a limit, making the posts conversational rather than pontifical.

Being able to link out to long form thinking is good, but having a conversation needs a feeling of spontaneity (so long as I can check the spelling of words like "spontaneity" which can trip me up in writing!!!)

@Algot I guess what I am thinking about is whether, as the lawyers say, the tools are dispositive, whether they are controlling. AND...whether we are conscious of their control.
BTW, I solved my problem with translation by installing the Google Translate extension. Highlight and translate. {hands dusted}

@tellio

Glad to hear you have an 'in tab' solution for translation. I'll look at it.

@tellio I really like the idea of leanring groups. And also like it very much in not having it bound to university.
the tools you choosed will ppl who care much about ''freedom of accsess'' to not join, or even promote.
I'm one of those :-p.

This graphic illustrates my goal of learning groups forming in every sector of business, society, etc. and drawing from a web library of information that broadens their understanding of poverty and it's many variations, as well as actions being taken by people in some, which could be applied by others in more places.

This is an earlier version of the graphic I just shared. The newer version was created in late 2000s by intern from South Korea.
