  • The Points of Viewing Theory for Engaged Learning with Digital Media
    The Points of Viewing Theory for Engaged Learning with Digital Media Ricki Goldman New York University John Black Columbia University John W. Maxwell Simon Fraser University Jan J. L. Plass New York University Mark J. Keitges University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign - 1 - Introduction Theories are dangerous things. All the same we must risk making one this afternoon since we are going to discuss modern tendencies. Directly we speak of tendencies or movements we commit to, the belief that there is some force, influence, outer pressure that is strong enough to stamp itself upon a whole group of different writers so that all their writing has a certain common likeness. — Virginia Woolff, The Leaning Tower, lecture delivered to the Workers' Educational Association, Brighton (May 1940). With full acknowledgement of the warning from the 1940 lecture by Virginia Woolf, this chapter begins by presenting a theory of mind, knowing only too well, that “a whole group of different” learning theorists cannot find adequate coverage under one umbrella. Nor should they. However, there is a movement occurring, a form of social activism created by the affordances of social media, an infrastructure that was built incrementally during two to three decades of hard scholarly research that brought us to this historic time and place. To honor the convergence of theories and technologies, this paper proposes the Points of Viewing Theory to provide researchers, teachers, and the public with an opportunity to discuss and perhaps change the epistemology of education from its formal structures to more do-it-yourself learning environments that dig deeper and better into content knowledge.
