Un hombre no es de donde nace, si no de donde elige morir.
A man is not from where he is born, but from where he chooses to die.

The co-operative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity could easily have been used to write the #introduction to the future many envisioned when the World Wide Web went live. Although today we are far removed from this vision, projects like #SocialCoop and the #IndieWeb offer us a way back to an open, people-focused web. I am pleased to be involved.

That being said, everybody, including the discontents, is free to fork and do whatever they want, and hopefully that will result in happiness and ponies for everybody who believes at heart that Eugen isn't doing a good job.

Doc Searls reckons the GDPR will finally rein in adtech. I hope he's right.
What is the role of emotion in the classroom, and how do teachers talk to students about emotion? Is it treated as ‘noise’? Okay in small amounts? A barrier to learning? And do emotions happen to you, or do you create emotions yourself?
I created this infographic for teachers about my latest research that included 750 teachers from Greece, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Please forward it to any teachers in your life! 😺
This morning I'm #reading:
Krycho, Chris. “The Cost of Google as Memory Prosthesis.” Chris Krycho: Theology, Technology, Life & Art (blog), April 30, 2018. http://www.chriskrycho.com/2018/the-cost-of-google-as-memory-prosthesis.html.
"memory and connection and those startling leaps of insight that come from them are not substitutable by a search engine. Thinking happens as much in the background of the rest of our lives as it does on demand; and good answers to questions come ..."
"I have never met a five year old who is not creative. Something happens to them as they grow up that turns them into something else. We don’t have evidence for this, because schools don’t measure it."
The interesting thing about Gi Fernando’s observation isn't the oft-heard comment regarding children's creativity being lost. Rather, it is the rarely articulated condemnation of the fact that we don't think this is important enough to have any measure of it.
