Lines of thought: the serendipitous emergence of collaborative learningNomadWarMachine
What happens when you give an open invitation to edutwitter to collaboratively write a poem, and encourage remixes? Over the last few months we have watched a collaborative project unfold in ways that continue to amaze, inspire and nourish us. This has opened up a conversation about the power of online collaborations and the adaptability of these for more formal models of learning.
In January 2021 one of the authors tweeted a joke about writing a 106-line poem. The other author took this line of thought and designed a collaborative challenge - to contribute lines of thought and collectively write the poem. Over 48 hours, 44 people worked on a shared Google Doc making over 4,000 edits. The outcome was a poem titled: 106 Lines of Thought. As we watched it unfold we began to think of ways to remix it.
We created a second opportunity - to ask people to record poem stanzas that we would stitch together. 21 people offered, and an orated version of the poem was produced. Hearing the voices bought an intimacy into the project and allowed different parts of the poem to stand alone. We then saw the poem remixed into forms we had never imagined.
This relates to the conference theme of digital well-being.The past year has been a challenge for all of us, educators and learners alike, and opportunities to connect authentically with others have become even more important. Our online communities have sustained us throughout this pandemic, highlighting for us the importance of collaborations that permit making learning personally relevant. This is vital for the well-being of educators as well as students - one author had recently lost her job in the HE sector and this project sustained a connection with other educators.
We will explain the genesis of the project and show some results. We will discuss the educational theories that underpin the practices of remix, showing how these seemingly trivial practices of creative playfulness allow deep and meaningful learning to serendipitously emerge. We reflect critically on the project, appreciating our luck in having participants who understood the underlying philosophy of the DS106 community and acknowledging the privileged status of participants with regard to digital literacy and digital access. We also acknowledge a possible lack of diversity: while we know our participants were global, with an open project there is no attempt to be equitable or ensure a diverse mix of people respond.
While our example is of online educators spontaneously participating, we show how this can be adapted for use with a multiplicity of situations, and help build learning communities based on trust and authentic participation. We suggest a post-pandemic pedagogy will harness the power of online collaboration and show learners the freedom of serious fun.

In Memory of Alan Dean 1958 - 2021
No one vision is sufficient in and of itself – visions can guide but only by collaborative action in a creative generative process can visions grow and become part of an ongoing positive sociocultural reality.
Without taking into account the many worldviews that currently co-exist and crafting ways of including them in a positive and healthy form we will continue to alienate vast sections of all communities and humankind.
This keynote delivered in Arkansas at the TNT conference is a motivational approach of looking at change and technology from a classroom teacher who is collaborating globally and using many leading (and older) technology tools.
Really effective collaborations between communities and universities are of increasing interest to organizational leaders, policy-makers, students, teachers, and researchers. They have the potential to be a crucial source of social innovation in the 21st century. SiG@Waterloo has worked with five outstanding examples of such collaborations to find out what perspectives, processes and practices allow them to significantly support innovation to emerge, be sustained and to positively affect some of the most challenging problems of our time.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

From working in a juice store in Beijing to an accelerator in
Massachusetts, I have come to value diversity of thought. It is through
disparate and honest opinions that future success is created. In
assembling a team, a lens of diversity must be used. I firmly believe
that diversity is one the strongest tenets of innovation.
5. ....and a SHAKER
I see opportunity where others see failure.
When I hear risk, I think potential.
Reading Peter Drucker’s “Innovation & Entrepreneurship” & Eric Ries’
“Lean Startup” has taught me to take advantage of opportunities as

"Stuff your eyes with wonder.
Live as if you’d drop dead in ten
seconds.
See the world.
It’s more fantastic than any dream
made or paid for in factories.
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security,
there never was such an animal.
And if there were, it would be related to
the great sloth which hangs upside
down in a tree all day every day,
sleeping its life away.
To hell with that. Shake the tree and
knock the great sloth down on his ass!”
-Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451"
