I'm excited to watch a recent @screencastsonline.bsky.social tutorial from @mikeschmitz.bsky.social on MindNode. However, given how behind I am from a trip I just got back from, I have to save it as a treat for myself, once fewer inboxes are on overflow.

On Ep 592: Metaphors, Free Speech, and How We Learn with Barbara Oakley.
We talk why free speech matters in every discipline. Barbara also shares practical tools for teaching with metaphors + create classrooms that invite disagreement and are intellectually challenging.
