Authentic Agnoiology

Chris Ashley summed up Lloyd’s edublogging back in 2001.

If each of us is a little blog disk jockey daily programming our own content for those who come across it to read, then Lloyd is the Master DJ, spinning and scratching several diverse tables at once, all the while encouraging others to spin, pointing to the spinning, finding threads among the spinning many, spinning those spins into his own to reflect back out to the community and be used as new riffs. For free. Because it’s a good thing to do. That’s radical. Quiet, unassuming, all action.

Take a trip outside of the edublogging echo-chamber and read the whole of Lloyd’s recent post to get a taste of some of the deep thinking and learning that goes on in his world and in that of his (former) students. Better still, spend a few hours digging around. It’ll do you good. Find a gem there and post about it. It’ll do the edublogosphere good! Quite extraordinary weblogging and commentary.

Once in a rare while, somebody writes something that makes me want to just quote it full, never mind how it feels redundant; sometimes it’s not enough to just quote a bit, and then link. I do have a point to make, in posting something like this; see my commentary, following.

Have I mentioned that Lloyd has been doing this sort of stuff everyday since 2000.
