I have to admit doing some bit of tossing phrases into one of the DALL-E Mini generators to gawk/shrug/tweet about what emerged. There is a bit of natural curiosity to either get a result that is a stunning graphic but what seems more common in my attempts… crap. So I like seeing my colleague Bryan […]
Whether you were present at this fest may be a future cultural touchstone, like all those who were at Woodstock after it happened. Or maybe the reputation might be as glowing as the basis of our metaphor. Huh? Today I co-wrangled a 3 hour online BCcampus FLO Lab with Jessica Motherwell McFarlane whom I can […]
It is so truthy that authors, so-called experts, and every day citizens just repeat this one because it sounds true. Thanks to blog commenter Ashraf another stumbling zombie was spotted at a niche publication called Inc, the moldy monster summoned to support a case for AI (stress the artificial portion and discard the Intelligence one)– […]
I keep peering at the name badges, but am not quite who we are referring to with some recent (in finally in the best space) blog talk about [capital] Edtech. It’s nobody I would hangout with. The end was spotted at Hack Education where Audrey Watters kicked past the curb at her own blog (yeah […]
I must get a dozen or two emails a week from so-called SEO experts asking if I want guest posts or will insert their clients link in my site. So I almost too quickly read this one from Emma at TasteWP: I have a cool WordPress tip for you! I see that you’re linking to […]
It was about time I did some feature adding to a SPLOT theme- adding support for Sodaphonic audio was super easy for many reasons. For all that is not great about time spent in Twitter (believe it or not I have dialed my attention there back) I have to give credit that I still sift […]
Despite the shift to this ornery block editor (I have made my peace with it but still regularly cuss at it) and avoiding full site editing, I still love ya WordPress. Always. Mostly. I have noticed something for a while. WordPress does not like hanging out waiting for you in open tabs. Many times over […]
Once again in the “spent too much time creating a clever title” department, I am here not to delve into Foucault analysis (and I had to look that one up). I can take the opening Wikipedia line on the article as “Discourse is a generalization of the notion of a conversation to any form of […]
Look at the capital letter R. Just snap off the front leg, and now you are a P. In the world of Open Educational Resources, the five Rs are like chapter/verse of the induction, repeat after me: The right to Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute… Pick your source https://www.google.com/search?q=oer+5+rs Apparently things get a bit more […]
My use of experiment is more the try “to learn something” in the definition than a well-designed test “done in order to learn something or to discover if something works or is true.” This is also framed in my ongoing wrestling with the conference experience that is (to quote myself) overly “presentationally oriented.” Compound this […]
