I found myself in agreement about where ‘machining and dreaming’ belong in a house of learning. I do see uncanny pedagogies as being a futuristic approach to academic, school and personalized learning. I welcomed uncertainty as a learning factor and indicated its link to both motivation and creativity using personalized examples to do so. I think this haunting approach can bring greater flexibility and liveliness into learning with a movement away from both teacher-centred and factual learning towards discursive-centred individualized learning. I believe, haunted, anxious, uncanny and uncertain to be adjectives which describe the state of creative posthumans.

I listed the points made by Usher and Edwards but they had nothing new to say to me.
