Likely a mis-applied generalization, but in a few different education spheres I am sensing that both the overload of new tech and the adoption of pre-built systems are contributing to a decline in the will/awareness to look being what an interface presents us. Thus the shiny front allure of GenAI to vibe the work for […]
The week of muzzling the blog to spend time commenting on other blogs is over. Did anyone notice? I’m not sure I did. No suggestions for more blogs to read came in, but I had a good enough supply from my RSS feeds spotting posts in Mastodon and plucking a few from the Reclaim Hosting […]
Tis here a bubbling goo of a post. It’s been oozing in my drafts folder, the one between my ears. And iits actually not even new. But I have been getting these questions from a few corners, seeing the ripples everywhere. I am already lined up to vent my opinion on at least two panels […]
I am more than comfortablly qssured that no generative AI can really hallucinate my writing. See those trademarked typos? Me. See a quirky nonsensical title? Me. I digress, as usual. Here is a typical small tale of unexpected adventure of one thing leading to another, like a neural path, but none one that can be […]
Sigh, one cannot avoid The Topic, the Only Thing as it has been grailed. At least it provides fodder for some mocking. It’s so easy even with the merest of ChatGPT et al interaction to respond under the influence of the Weizenbaum effect made visible in the verbs we choose. And like Laura Czerniewicz wrote […]
How often do we get to participate in small group open discussions of our practices? I am not talking about blipping in social media. Last, I chose to to be organize/be in 18 of them, and energized more energetic than any zoom webinar. That week was full on for my organization, Open Education Global with […]
You might suspect this blog is solely about photos and images, and openness thereof. Maybe it is, as this post that has been tap tap tapping inside the head today follows (reversing the reverse blog chronology) of yesterday’s experiment with end-arounding Google Image search and the day before’s waxing on photo making. I’ve likely blabbed […]
I so loved the OER20 Conference #ThisIsMe activity- they encouraged participants in this online conference (I write this as if there are any other kinds now) to tweet and photo of their participation location. You get great windows into participants from both the top tweets (hi Martin) and the latest tweets. It’s a very small […]
There’s alway room for another Three Letter Acronym. So did I un-intentionally build an LXP? Tannis Morgan first suggested so in twitter and even more in a recent blog post. But wait a minute- whatsa LXP? As a TLA it sounds buzzword-ish. But because I know and respect Tannis, when she first blogged why these […]
Building collections of resources is among the oldest things to build on the web (and definitely before that). Heck, I made a “Bag of URLs” for this that ran for like 10 years. My first week on the job in 1992 as a green horned instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges I heard first […]
