I think academia is a natural place for some of us to be - spend time researching something interesting and get paid for it? We’re in.

I absolutely see what you mean. But I've also seen people pedalling e-bikes, people who might not otherwise use bikes for transport, going further than they would if it were only up to their own legs. Does the analogy hold if we say that the best outcome is effort + tech going furthest of all?

just shared screen to present at MOBTS and someone wanted to know how my computer ran anything with all that opened. M1 chip, I think. But 500 tabs! Goals.

#LTHEchat A6 I see they still don't have an edit button.

embed it with other forms of learning as part of a larger piece. For instance the 5E model of science teaching, the first two - engage and explore should be play. The Explain phase (3) shows how successful that has been and allows a reset before the Elaborate and finally the Evaluate phase.

'why can't you just use Teams? Oh that's right, we completely borked the install so you can't use it at all for teaching...'

And thanks to you for kicking off our project!

our big challenge is reigniting that in students who usually had it squashed out of them years ago.

I'll be referring to this one a lot, from the usual suspects.

It was a great app. A year ago I started sadly moving everything over to OneNote, which is not nearly as cool but at least I can access it from all my devices and it doesn't do that weird loading thing that Evernote started to do.

can't believe the ASCILITE I miss is the one she's at. Serious MO (FOMO without the FO).

she is a very hilarious person.

It could be such a good model. 3rd space experts have a wide gaze too, so could be instrumental in bringing together educators with similar practice. And it should be built on purpose.

There's nothing wrong with them, they're beautiful. But some of them have such dramatic walls that you're not sure if you're stepping into a lift or a portal into another dimension.

@elainehuber.bsky.social walked the talk, when she ran our team academics and professional staff always collaborated and were encouraged to bring their whole selves to the work. We were more than our roles. Trying hard to keep it going now that her time with us is finished.

It is a weird building, isn’t it. And then there’s the lifts.
