        establish expertise
        
        I do understand the importance of contributing, the "reciprocity rule"
        
        Blogging
        
        I need to be able to teach students to use blogs
        
        I need to be able to help others set up and use blogs effectively
        
        I need to use my own blog/s as a branding, publishing, and networking tool. I am not certain to what extent.
        
        vanity search
        
        Know how to opt out or be removed from people searches and social media portfolios compiled by companies
        
        sigh. It was so much easier just to opt out by not putting up info
        
        establish a routine for opting out
        
        social media
        
        My policy is to only use social media for professional purposes and never to post anything I would not want on a front page or basically want everyone/anyone to see
        
        I try to follow the same rule of thumb with email; knowing that everything is permanent
        
        I'm still pretty careful to try to have a zero digital footprint; this is in conflict with the new need to curate an online professional presence and to use social media to my advantage. I'll move into this cautiously but I will move in.
        
        This confirms my decision never to have a fB account
        
        personal brand
        
        I'm just not wiling to post pictures of myself; sorry.
        
        "scholarly profiles": I try to keep these focused on my role, research interests, and any significant accomplishments
        
        if your brand is "what people say about you when you're not in the room" (Bezos), my focus should be on all of my communication, whether written, spoken, or digital
        
        digital portfolio
        
        I've started using others' blogs more and use them not only for info but for studying the writing stance of professionals I respect
        
        I agree that I need a digital teaching portfolio
        
        I buy in to the value of creating a blog and will work hard to make mine not just a learning tool but a professional representation of myself and my skills

        leper represents exclusion. Control tactic = individuate, exclude
        
        panopticon "individualizes the excluded"
        
        plague represents crowd, confusion, disorder.
        
        architectural panopticon is a veheicle/union of supervisory mechanisms, a "figure of political technology" (659)
        
        compare the individual cages/theaters, illumined, to Plato's allegory of the cave
        
        "visibility is a trap"
        
        language and the intellectual disciplines
        
        new intellectual/vocational "disciplines" are also "epistemology-logical" formulations of power Knowledge/Power #
        
        educational system develops to serve Industrial Revolution
        
        binary divisions exercise control: mad/sane, normal/abnormal
        
        "the investigation" as the new (empirical) technique
        
        Whereas Medical inquisition was "an authoritarian search for a truth observed or attested," The sovereign power arrogating to itself the right to establish the truth by a number of regulated techniques" (665)
        
        accuses Bacon of trying to be the "Great Observer," panoptical God
        
        sees psychology and psychiatry and educational psychology techniques: "entrench the schema of power-knowledge proper to each discipline"

        3 objectives of power
        
        maximum sustained intensity
        
        link "economic" growth of power with output of the apparatuses (edu, mil, industry, medicine) within which it is exercised (662)
        
        vast power at little cost and visibility

        Betham's design
        
        applicable to any social institution and its "disciplinary projects/mechanisms
        
        allows centralization and omnipresent, omniscient power
        
        penitentiary
        
        constant individualization and surveillance
        
        effects
        
        power is automatized and disindividualized; efficient
        
        "not simply a hinge, a point of chance between a mechanism of power and a function; it is a way of making power relations function as a function" (659)
        
        subtle
        
        "amplification"; strengthens social forces (660)
        
        surveillance embodied in the surveyed. He "inscribes in himself the power relations which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his how subjection"
        
        cf. Nazi Germany, society of mutual informants
        
        multiple separations
        
        seen but does not see
        
        application in schooL: no copying, noise, matter, waste of time
        
        prevents contact with companions
        
        new political anatomy
        
        example: behavioral intervention team
        
        opposite = enclosed institution on edges of society (old prison system); here; the "discipline-mechanism: a functional mechanism that must improve the exercise of power by making t lighter, more paid, more effective, a design of subtle coercion for a society to come" (660-61)
        
        network of everywhere alert social mechanisms
        
        historical 18th c examples
        
        object and end not relations of sovereignty but relations of discipline (660)
        
        new type of society (661)
        
        physical opposite of theaters of ancient society as "society of spectacle": many viewed few vs few view many
        
        centralization
        
        economic, juridic-political, scientific processes
        
        aligned with capitalism
        
        historical circumstance that allowed: beyond feudal or city-state
        
        growth of production
        
        large population, static
        
        "levying violence" replaced by inherent complicity within the processes and the disciplines that regulate them (662)
        
        See p663: the theoretical process in more detail
        
        "the will of all" enforces soverignty (social contract) but panoticism is the real technique and is one of coercion
        
        "The Enlightenment,w which discovered the liberties, also invented the disciplines
        
        discipline
        
        insidious power that objectifies (663)
        
        cf. high grid, low group society
        
        neutralizes counter power, horizontal relationships
        
        fixes: regulates and distributes
        
        reduces inefficiency
        
        effects on relationships between individuals: inequality, subordination
        
        "counter law"
        
        enables an actual extension of power
- - - - insufficient; methodological reductionism (12); technique useful but insufficient; what teachers use until the real teacher shows up (5)
      - focus of our culture's and profession's view of reality is external and empirical; discourages or obscures meaning within. #
        
        On the other hand, our culture in a postmodern sense locates meaning as subjective, individual, experiential in reaction to Enlightenment externalist/empiricist view
        
        "Pathology of speech disconnected from self"... "rewarded as a virtue" (18)
      - what (subjects), how (methods), why (purpose)
    - - subject, teaching, and ourselves are all complex and beyond our full control
      - intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions: wholeness
      - most practical thing we can do is to attend to inner teacher and have identity and integrity
        
        result: integrated self and authentic community
      - who: how quality of selfhood forms or deforms teaching
      - ultimately a teacher is a spiritual guide
      - more truth and more reality (6); cf Ellul
      - bad vs good teachers
        
        bad: distanced from self, subject, and others (11); performance oriented
        
        worsened by method du jour mentality (12)
        
        good: capacity for connectedness
        
        identity as moving intersection of genetics, my past experiences and actions and my response (13)
        
        integrity as wholeness/integration
        
        intellect, emotion, spirit
        
        Alan
        
        taught from an undivided self (16)
        
        We learn experimentally that we thrive on some connections and others make us wither and decrease our integrity (17)
        
        Yet we must be vulnerable and open to risk (17)
        
        live where public and personal meet (18)
        
        reality and power of internal; reclaim selfhood; by re-membering
        
        remembering our mentors: not their methods but the identity and integrity
        
        be a mentor
        
        cf. Friere's and constructivist's co-explorer role rather than banking model of education
        
        remembering the subjects that chose us
        
        reality and power of inner world that compels us to take responsibility for our own lives (29)

        language is not a direct vehicle for knowledge, and is a particular tool of the capitalist/commodifying ethos #
        
        of the Theatre
        
        metanarratives or received philosophies/theologies/"sciences" must be rejected as fictitious
        
        Man knows no more than he can observe of Nature's chain of cause and effect
        
        origin of progressivism: by reason man can engineer bettering his condition and control over nature

        This knowledge superior to revealed knowledge but appropriates Christian terminology: "dominion," "noble and holy" ambition, knowledge "proved by works," "idols" that replace truth , "Salomon's House"
        
        Reformation of Education
        
        "pure science" (and arts) should be paid for and cultivated by colleges and governments because it provides superior knowledge, therefore support in decision making, to state
