This is more a comment to Liz’s comment, but thought I would post it here to bring it out of the comments section to the main page (so the blog has ways in which it positions certain posts by the very way it is designed….hmmm….)
You ask some tough and good questions: City analogy— the idea [...]

GRS theoetical framework of blogging… a work in progress
Posted in thoughts on the matter on April 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Jeremiah posted a summary of what we had been working on with respect to the connection between blogging and new media liteacies as a starting point. Liz has also been wrestling with the recognition aspect of identity development work. Thanks to both! I’m hoping we can use this post to bring much [...]
Social space vs identity
Posted in thoughts on the matter on April 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So after conversations on Friday I saw that I was shifting my focus on my article from that of looking to the participation/ recognition/identity work to that of a social space framework. This shift is not a shift away from identity. I view identity as something that is inherent in all aspects of interaction. We [...]

Every time I think I ‘get’ this whole recognition thing it slips away from me like… well, something really slippery. Man I am tired. Hope this makes sense in the morning, here it goes:
Recognition of and by self and others…
Recognition OF

Self
Displaying competence
Self-directing
Critiquing self
Implicitly bidding
Wrestling with dilemmas

Mentoring
Encouraging
Sharing resources
Explicit
Okay – so I am [...]
New Media Literacies applied to Blogging
Posted in Literature, thoughts on the matter on April 25, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Here is some copy and paste from work I just did up from the work that April and I have done. Love some thoughts comments etc.
Research on blogs, wikis and other Web 2.0 tools are typically situated within the concept of what some refer to as new media literacies (Gee, 1996; Lankshear & Knobel, 2007). [...]
Thinking about data
Posted in analyzing blogs, thoughts on the matter, ways to look at the data on April 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I just posted a comment to Liz’s post that was more conceptual…so now I will jump into some procedural.
First let me try to refine the question: When looking at EMI- Learning through Social Networking Technologies.
My first instinct (due to my own research focus) would be : How are learning trajectories developed in classroom blogs?
Ummm…But in [...]
Some ramblings

Hello,
I spent some time reviewing the literature about enactive and recognition work. I am working on operationalizing ’recognition’ and am waiting for the great epiphany or “ah-ha” moment, but until then, I just wanted to get some thoughts down.
Okay, my understanding thus far:
Identity is defined as the ways in which one is recognized, by self and others, as being a certain kind of person. Recognition [...]

I rapidly posted this to get it up here, Sorry for not commenting on it, I will later. I have a ton to get done. Perhaps we can discuss some if this a little tomorrow during our work session.

We all have been working with Mark Windschitl’s dilemmas and they have informed our work to the core. April and I have been talking about some of his other work presented at a conference that also seems powerful (as the dilemmas?). The four themes are:
1. Selecting “Big Ideas” in Science: This is the degree to which participants [...]
