CFT and interdisciplinary thought: Conceptually-multidimensional fragments, combined in real-world contexts and used over time in crisscrossed fashion (as in CFT hypertexts) => disciplinary boundary-crossing, both specifically and as an epistemic mindset, a cognitive attunement.
6. My tweets here will mainly be flexibly adaptive “bite-size” conceptual fractals of the kind just described. (Later, multidimensional tags will be appended to scaffold your own situation-sensitive assemblages.) All for now…
5. So, to start, a quote from an old paper of mine I once saw handwritten on someone’s desk as I was about to give a talk somewhere: “Fragments are only a problem if they’re not assembled (& re-assembled). If they are configurable, their future situational uses are endless.”…
4. These kinds of rich, expandable, fragments, synecdochally reaching out to wholes greater than the sum of the parts, is a central aspect of Cognitive Flexibility Theory’s approach to learning for complexity and adaptive response to novelty. It finds an ideal home on Twitter...
3. What sort of learning? From generative, synecdochal FRAGMENTS that can be expanded to multiple contexts of application and generatively combined in situation-sensitive assemblages, in adaptive response to situational novelty, via a process of combinatorial idea play…
2. My goal, then & now: to promote a new kind of learning to support adaptive response to novelty, an increasingly essential skill in these times of growing complexity and accelerating change...
1. I am returning to Twitter after a brief excursion a few years back, followed by a long hiatus…
Google making folk stupid? Attention wandering? Lots of ways to turn lemons into lemonade. We've a job to do. Going to talk about that here.
Good to be back after my hiatus! Continuing concerns out there about digital disasters in learning. May be, but it's up to us to fix it!
Jobs,the giant of the last 50 years. Everyone lives differently because of him.No single figure in history changed life more.#RIPSteveJobs
The new synthesis is no synthesis. . The new synthesis, in random access worlds, is multidirectional readiness. It is potential.
McLuhan: "Today we experience in reverse what preliterate man faced with the advent if writing." Escape from the line & the divide. (CFT)
In the New Gutenberg Revolution, for the Post-Gutenberg Mind the side-trip is the trip. #nonlinear #learning #creativity #random-access
The New Synthesis: non-compiled fragments with activated *potential* for connection in future spontaneous situation-sensitive assemblages.
In New Orleans to give a talk. French Quarter Music Fest in progress. Walking the streets, cognitive flexibility on every street corner.
Increasingly complex, rapidly changing world. Often have to figure it out as you go, building a schema of the moment. Cog flex. #creativity
Knowledge is used in different ways, in diff combos, for diff purposes, at diff times, built to suit the situation. Cog flex. #creativity
