"We need to return to the MOOC as originally envisioned: social learning" says Todd and Siemens. I agree. We keep bringing all educational ideas back to instructivism, because that is what we are comfortable with.

So a company that I busted a few years ago for posting tons of fake comments on my blog is still around. So much for "karma" being a thing.

Reading: "Why (Not) Wearables" http://hackeducation.com/2015/01/06/wearables/

Watters starts off with a look at what could be the next big trends, but then veers off into some of the big problems with these trends (which is probably a better angle to focus on, I'm thinking). In many cases, people who already have a lot of control are trying to gain more through these new technologies. Something to think about.

Finally? I think we have known these trends were coming for a while. But still, when companies start pushing these ideas at big shows like this, its something to pay attention to.

Heh - well, I guess I have to start pointing out the difference between rhetorical "we" and literal "we" in my blog posts now :)
