Tamez blogged a reply to Ray Tolley's post (the latter is linked as another comment to this post). http://indigifem.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-toy-map-universe-naah-its.html

I note a few things:
First, Tamez discovered our conversation about her when her "parallel universe 'self' intercepted my touchgraph while cruising my google alerts."

Second, the short timeline. Peterson edits this blog post to add TouchGraph 1:32p EST (which would have begun triggering the Google Alert) and posts in AAEEBL discussion 1:51p EST. Tolley replies to Peterson in AAEEBL at 4:30p EST (having already posted to his blog). Tamez replies in her blog at 5:41p EST.

The above is notable because of this comment she makes in the post, that I think pertains to the gap between my and Tolley's comments.

"I would advise anyone who is seriously committed to the larger structural uses of E-portfolios by contemporary students-- who by the way do not view the college classroom as their most significant 'center' of knowledge and tool acquisition, (providing one is inclined to view the technology and control over the production as the domain of liberatory education)--,to examine their assumptions about knowledge and power and the political will of the Indigenous peoples."

I would generalize Tamez' perspective about Indigenous Peoples in the above comment to recognize the developing world which is rapidly gaining Internet access and is positioned to learn how to self-organize and self-educate in the ways Tamez aludes. Another way to represent this conversation is about locus of control. We have a diagram comparing institutional-centric vs Community-based learning. I think Tamez is in the latter camp. https://teamsite.oue.wsu.edu/ctlt/home/Anonymous%20Access%20Documents/AACU%202009/inst%20comm%20learning%20spectrum.pdf
