Does AUC participate in Reclaim Hosting?

It depends if the objective of the course is to contribute thoughtful contributions or if it is edTech.

Does nobody think these may be cries for help, to be met with conversation rather than penalties?

I am starting to wonder if even small amounts of agency are an illusion. does our choice now lie between being painfully aware of the risks and deciding to ignore them as long as they don't bite us?

I lost a network drive with my only copy of much of my work. Online storage was at a premium when we had very low data caps. And digitizing simply wasn't a feasible option in the early 90s when I threw away a heavy cardboard file with all my notes from the early 70s. (OWM here)

So much creative flash from the early 2000s is now lost. "Digitizing the Ancestors" (Strathman, 2019) details significant works that have been lost.

Thinking of ePortfolios and marginalized learners' reluctance to post in public. It seems tools need reliable and adjustable privacy controls

I"m struck with this being the operational outcome of all the talk around rigour. Institutionally, rigour is touted as necessary for credentials to have credibility or for articulation agreements. But in the classroom it simply equates to making learning difficult in the mistaken belief that creating difficulty is effective gatekeeping.

Because our training has been reductivist, fragmenting and examining minute parts to understand the whole.

what can even exist or what is capable of being known

This is one reason attempts at concocting pan-Indigenous generalizations will fail. From this paper, it seems hower, that global Indigenous consensus on some points is very possible. This is far different from "outsiders' making generalizing pronnouncements

This cannot be emphasized enough. We from a Western worldview want to colonize everything, including the knowledge we deign to acknowledge in other cultures.

And ignored or tokenized in most other "science" discussions

So interesting, but should not be surprising, that there is a global Indigenous consensus

This is a reality even in G7 countries, how much more in the majority world. The uneven availability of treatments is a great injustice.

I owe my diagnosis - even though late - to a nurse who disregarded the practice of not testing PSA. That the nurse was later convicted of trafficking in child pornography does not change the fact that he prolonged my life. Without his initiative, I would not have been diagnosed until I became ill

And they receive less assistance even when they try to advocate for themselves

bookmarking this article for future reference. This comment on textbooks funded by promoters of particularly narrow agendas is telling.

I think that largely depends on how important that fact was to us. Also repeated accessing of the same online fact fixes it in my memory

that's what I would have guessed, but i'm also thinking how they have been led to form the solid base of knowledge has a lot of influence on how much they are willing to engage processes beyond retention and retrieval

"nothing so practical as a good theory" PDF

so that's how they can accelerate two years into 18 months

said basically nothing

So only two years until they produce graduated B Ed teachers

very tactfully worded

fairly generous entry criteria if it includes journeypersons who want to work in teaching K-12

What about co-constructing courses with northern students?

The same problem exists with Indigenous languages

That is all some of us are able to do, small steps. So much better than not trying because we can’t implement major changes. While I wait for hypotheses.is LMS implementation, I promote the open version with a few willing colleagues.

Maha Bali has provided a lot of momentum to this courageous practice kindness https://blog.mahabali.me/faculty-development/faces-covered-voices-muffled-curated-tips-for-physically-distanced-masked-classes/

It was the prompt our college needed to create a CTL from those already doing that support work informally

This has to accompany the production of tutorial resources.

I've been promoting Hypothes.is, but had not considered it before in conjunction with UDL. More reasons to help persuade faculty it isn't just a novelty.

provides additional ways of engaging the text by responding both to the text and to others interpretations of the text.

conversations and even narratives can exist in annotations

A faculty developer explained how he had faculty annotate a list of places they would like to visit. It was a fun and non-threatening way to introduce annotation. https://youtu.be/yShF-bCcbEo?t=1338

Another example of how time to reflect brings in voices that are excluded from a "lively discussion" in class.

Or they may make such images a private annotation to assist themselves if they are reluctant to share it publicly - especially at the beginning before they have seen other examples of public sharing. Note: instructors can take a lead in providing such examples.

I tried reading this aloud to my wife and could not control my giggling when I came to the last sentence. Vainly I tried several times but just burst out in uncontrollable, breath-robbing laughter. I was about to copy it and text her when I finally managed to choke out the last five words one at a time. Tears are still rolling down my cheeks.

I love the rare experts who are not defensive I'm expected to be an expert in my edTech role in our CTL, but I often have to say, "I don't know but I can help you find out."

one of the strategic pillars of our college's transition to a polytechnic university is "learning centred." I have had a few conversations around the question of how that relates to learner centred.

reminds me of @slamteacher's talk the previous day about only bringing a bag of tricks = cheating both ourselves and our teachers

And it takes not only an investment of time to get curious about what lays below the surface of someone else, but requires a willingness to invest emotionally, because what's below the surface of someone's difficulty does not leave us untouched

big one in my spiritual evolution.<br> in some circles, I describe myself as a recovering certainty addict

the ambiguity exists whether we embrace it or not. Might as well figure out a way to stop fighting it - in ourselves as well as learners

How colonially typical of Eurocentric mentality to dismiss ambiguity as "weakness" Thanks, @onlinecrslady for exposing our own mental deficiency..

Columbus and the islanders made a mutual discovery of each other. They sat down to divide the island and the living bodies. Columbus said, I'll take the highlands because I represent the highest civilization. I will take the coast lands because I made the longest ocean voyage to these shores. I will take the lowlands simply because I can. And all your bodies belong to me because you now live on my land. You can have what's left, he added magnanimously.

I am part of this and would love to discuss it with any of you. It reminds me somewhat of @cogdog biking across the west with a wifi box some years ago..

Or just right-click (Windows) on the highlighted cells and select "Format Cells"

how often do I recognize the factors that privilege me?

Can I allow this freedom to myself (as the white prof) and to participants who are, at least in part, not like me?

pre-assigned to breakout rooms OK in web client

not available for web client

Safari has more limitations than the others

not desirable, but perhaps workable

This seems to me to be where the real power of Wikipedia lies, giving reliable infomation it's primary clients (general public) can understand and use.
