Monster blisters & totally exhausted, but it was so much fun meeting people in real life at #AERA15! Safe travels home, everyone.

What an amazing panel on rethinking and undoing academic language with @sofichaps @DrJonathanRosa @Man3ka #AERA15 http://t.co/mk5eqFKYv7

How do the cultural products made by (digital) participatory movements get strategically consumed and remixed by institutions? #aera15

Having a great discussion abt the relationship between youth-driven cultural production for movements & the politics of consumption. #aera15

Next up: Jaramillo’s “The Art of Social Change: Cultural Production and Youth in the Bolivarian Revolution” #aera15

It’s always the techies who seem to have tech fails befall them during talks. #ourplight #aera15

Next up: Jocson’s “New Media Literacies as Social Action: Youth Engaging in the Politics of Knowledge Production” #aera15

Gaztambide: Re: activism and politics, (digitally mediated) participation *is* cultural production. #aera15

Panel happening now based on recent issue of Curriculum Inquiry about participatory politics: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rcui20/45/1#.VTQbs87in8E #aera15

Stoked for upcoming panel: "Cultural Production and Participatory Politics: Practices, Intersections, and Pedagogies” (Hyatt W, SF) #aera15

Has anyone done synthesis of overlaps btw work on communities of practice (makers?) and educational assessment? Rifts are real, man. #aera15

Audience comment: how to introduce assessment and evaluation into maker movement. How do we know students are succeeding? #aera15

Peppler cautions against descriptive research without theory when geeking out over excitement of maker movement in education. #aera15

Next up: Litts’ “The Design Stances of Experienced Young Makers” #aera15

Brahms finds that school administrators differently structured making as bottom-up or top-down, w/ different effects on engagement. #aera15

I guess it makes sense that maker researchers have such rad visuals for their presentations. Sets the bar high! #sigh #aera15

Next up: Wardrip and Brahms’ “Making Goes to School: A Comparative Case Study” #aera15

Konopasky used “agency markers,” like respondents’ use of 1st-p pronouns, show level of agency in making practices. Differs by case. #aera15

Sheridan: organization of making activities differently structures imagined future for making. So relevant to #dmlcommons work. #aera15

Sheridan’s experimental study of making approaches yields no diffs in engagement. #aera15

Konopasky compares open-ended approaches to making vs. step-by-step instructional kit-types (the “IKEA model” of the maker world) #aera15

Next up: Konopasky & Sheridan’s “An Experimental Study Comparing Two Educational Approaches to Making with Simple Circuits” #aera15

What might be the educ benefits *and* costs of the maker movement gaining steam transnationally? Thinking of etsy going public. #aera15

Can anyone speaker to the purpose/use of the “check-in” system for (some) panels at #aera15? Curious as to how my data will be used.

Getting pumped for the next #AERA15 panel, “The Maker Movement in Education” (Sheraton I, for those so inclined.)

Owens talks abt transgressive play. “Productive failure,” meaning opportunities to use analytics to capture alt routes to learning. #aera15

Owen reminds me of Lessig’s stuff on constructed value of code & programming. Analytics are *assembled* for strategic purposes. #aera15

Owen: Let’s pretend there’s a word with friends: education edition. We’d want to know when someone uses an academic word. #aera15

Owen argues game analytics are driven by designer missio. Can we create a system where we shift the outcome from profit to learning? #aera15

Next up, Owen’s “Using Learning Analytics to Support Educational Game Development: A Data-Driven Design Approach” #AERA15
