Bryan prepares to address the multitude. Though his closing rant (Bryan’s word) didn’t prompt an immediate uprising, give it time dear reader, give it time.<\/p>\n
In a typically rich and provocative address, three things in particular grabbed hold in my own mind:<\/p>\n
If we engage our students with seriously open opportunities for linking, building, and sharing, we inevitably “let Loki in the with learning.” To which I would add, mischievously, can there be any true learning without Loki in the room?<\/p>\n
There is indeed a “delight in social archiving.” A very\u00c2\u00a0fine phrase from Dr. Alexander. My reflection: we can all make not only civilization’s library, but civilization’s magic attic, the place where the intimate, uncanny cabinet of wonders\u00c2\u00a0stands in the corner, awaiting our exploration.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryan closed with brief but very provocative call for a re-examination of the idea of a republic of letters. I’m eager to think about this with him, and with you all. And with my students.
