I tend to read blogs the way that I watch TV right now. For TV, I wait for the wheat to separate from the chaff, wait to see what’s recommended, then binge-watch the most highly rated series. I do the same thing with academic writers. Lately, ‘ve been doing the same thing with Mike Caufield’s excellent blog on educational technologys. However, since my current commitment (I really mean it this time!) is to write every day, no matter how ill-formed the thought, here we go.

According to Caulfield:

I would argue (along with Alan Kay and so many others) that for digital media the most radical affordance is the remixability of the form (what Kay would call its dynamism). We can represent ideas not as finished publications, but as editable models that can be shared, redefined, and recontextualized.
