I’m hoping I’ve understood what you’re communicating correctly. I’ll read on in the article and think on it!

I’ll certainly read what you’ve linked! I mention metacognition because it was helpful for my adult basic ed students to reflect on and thus recognize what investigative processes and learning practices were most useful and effective for them based on access needs, resource availability, goals etc.

This is next up on my reading list. I went to a talk with the author that was deeply affecting for me, especially after just having left my teaching job last year due to burnout and health issues.

I think a lot about how to teach the habit of pursuing curiosity, reflecting on new and existing knowledge, metacognition, analyzing rhetorical situations, etc. It’s been a few years since I taught freshman comp but I was teaching adult basic/secondary ed until recently.

Yes!!! I’m still processing much of this thread and gathering thoughts, but the distinction between access and rigor are huge! Universal Design practices come to mind for this.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

Oh god. Going to read it now. I touch freshman comp during my MA program 2017-19 and even without AI to worry about, it was fairly dismal wrt the curriculum.

With her meds, history, symptoms, and PCP. That felt nice.

I feel like it’s v similar to chewier bacon bits tbh!

Infinite torture is possible in my new game, Psychic Saw.

Don’t worry, I’ve since watched it and texted a friend who is as obsessed w Nish as I am with Tim lmfao. We lost it over Nish doing the drill and screaming
Chloe: “Tim Key”
Nish: “THE FAT POET”
C: “Daniel Kitson”
N: “THE OLD PLAY WRITE”
C: “Mark Watson”
N: “THE THIN MAN”

!!! Okay, I’m excited to read it now. Thank you for this.
