I like that you have lots of comments feeding in, and this really helps to surface the discussions that are happening around the blogs – nice work. Two things that you could build on here are: 1. more commentary on the specific lifestream content each week, and 2. some reflection on educational concerns.

Firstly, I notice that you’ve got your tweets feeding into the lifestream, so it would be good to experiment with some different recipes in IFTTT now that we are entering week 3 – you could perhaps try getting your YouTube favourites to feed in? Or perhaps some bookmarks for Delicious or Diigo? This will give you some more content to reflect upon in the lifestream summaries.

Secondly, you’ve highlighted some really important themes around posthumanism, cybercultures, and memory, which is fantastic. As we’re working towards the end of this block, it would be good to try and consolidate these explorations by coming back to the question of education. How have these cultural understandings of human, technology and memory fed into the ways we understand education technology? The Bayne (2014) core reading will be good here.
