Day 1 of week 2: Digital Natives and Produsage
As Doc teaches us early in the week: portmanteau is a term that blends words to make new ones... It is news to me that I've practiced the art of creating portmanteau's, and am excited that my handle, @priorneear is based on a real literary strategy! The 'screenname' (IM-gen language) origin is based on the blending of 3 words prior+near+pioneer. Many moons ago in 2007/2008, in our high school American History class, a classmate and I idealized the concept of an iPhone:
This is just one example of many ideas ideated before they have manifested. In terms of change management, I often maintain the qualities of an 'innovator' or, in my own words, a priorneear... because I have oftentimes come close to conceptualizing an idea that later becomes a reality, sometimes it's a slightly off and also, I haven't entirely acted on every one of those ideas. My father and grandfather have been very much the same. My father invested in DVD players, computers, and the internet in the early years compared to his peers. While my grandfather had his own projects.
(Strangely enough, I do remember it... but in a different class and in a different way...
this uncomfortably makes me think of the Mandela effect. )
Maybe Monday posts will be about ideating the rest of the week... Finding a system of posting will really benefit me, this blog, and my readership. It will provide a structure for content creation. Systems, even in the blogosphere are fascinating... and so are networks!
What do you think? What is the best strategy for content sharing three times weekly? What would YOU like to see on what days of the week? What days of the week will you be posting? Also, do you have a system of blogging planned for yourself?
Hi Lee! I have been wondering how to structure my blogging as well to be meaningful for my experience in this class. Knowing myself, I believe I will end up using the blog to reflect on my personal learning/growth. Perhaps using the blog to priornear (sp? haha!) will get you to the next steps of inventing, patenting and $$ . Iʻd be interested in seeing what innovative ideas you have! Take care!
ReplyDeleteAloha, my island friend, I actually address the projected 'system structure' ie., schedule for my blog posts during the semester in my latest post/podcast update. Please let me know what you decide to do on your own, so I include reading your reflections in my schedule!
DeleteAlso, I am honored and flattered you would say that I might take steps towards inventing, patenting and $$... I appreciate your positive reinforcements. Checking out the latest on your end now!
