It seems you are only as good as your metadata

Isn’t this a great line? Someone in the audience at the OKI session I went to made this statement. What I love about this is how it related to theories of learning. If we believe that people learn by making connections to other stuff in their experiences, then we are truly only as good as are ability to make, and connect to, our own metadata. In other words, this statement supports my recent revisioning of my eng102 (second semester first year composition) course that has a lot of meta-reflective assignments about what the students read, their homework, and their writing. nmc2006
