I love the digital literacy conversation going on within the #etmooc, but I worry that the conversation around a digital identity is too singular in nature. We should be striving to make a plural identity, one that can change over time. And, we should strive to instill this concept of a plural identity into our learners from a young age.

I’m trying to figure out how to tell 90 good stories about the learning going on around me, and I need a bit of help. How do you tell stories of goodness currently? How would you go about doing it if you were given the task of sharing the goodness widely and getting others to tell those stories with you?

I will be talking about this project more over the next few weeks, so get ready.

There is no single community to rule them all. There is no single goal for learning. There is also no single monolithic community for Youtube. And, we shouldn’t pretend that there is.

What are you doing to highlight the voices around you and your own "pocket communities"?

Sometimes we forget about the joy of discovery in favor of all of our other responsibilities. Joelle Warsh called attention to this, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I believe that we engage in the process of Seeing things clearly by experiencing that process of discovery. How do you see that process of Discovery?

I have been a part of a lot of discussions around whether or not schools are "real life" or whether they should prepare us for "real life". But, I think that is a strange way of framing authentic learning. All life is real, and we should try and make sure our working worlds and our learning worlds meet each other to create a reality that we want to be a part of.

Thank you to Ginger Lewman for inspiring this vlog: http://gingerlewman.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/ask-us-to-need-to-learn/

Correction: Ginger talks about the "Real World" we are preparing kids for more often than "Real Life", but I think it still counts.
