Taking a crack at #smallstories, to honour the wonderful #OER19 session and my friends @lauraritchie @katebowles @[email protected]
I attended the 2019 journal launch of Knowledge Makers, an Indigenous student research network at TRU. KM embodies the power of human scale, intimacy, care. Each student gave a speech, and presented their first copy to a family member or supporter. Many spoke of a new sense of self-worth and connection because of their journey.

Some reflections on the past few days and the connections made and rekindled:

Our presentation ( @katebowles and I were in person) at #OER19 in Ireland ended up being a giant shout out for mastodon. The topic was #smallstories. Full details here, and the video is linked - our session starts at 53mins.
shout outs to @GeoffreyGevalt and our main author @[email protected] and @Downes @dogtrax and @Ayior for being involved in our slides. :) @Gargron https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?eid=XzZjcDY0YzM1NjByM2NiYjQ2bGkzOGI5a2M0cWphYjlvY2NyNmFiOWtjcGdtNGNyNTY5ajNnZGhnNzAgNzRwbjh0bXB0NmplOTdxN2htMm0zYTEzdW82bzJoYTRAaQ&ctz=Europe/London
Presentation today with @katebowles (IRL!) at #OER19 on the #smallstories and the idea of the magic of small in pedagogy. A few of us wrote a book chapter on it, and way back when Mastodon was new we sort of clung together via this space. #OER19
Some stayed. Some keep returning.
I'll share the presentation once we've done it. Draft is here https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C3uORuVcViGdQp-lHNVlYSgE2MXd_hoVeeH6YLRB7kg/edit?usp=sharing
and now a session on #FemEdTech at #OER19
an unfunded/volunteer network fuelled by passion and kindness, where one of their main aims is to amplify voices. ❤️
Heading to Ireland today for #oer19 and a talk at Limerick Uni on the way. My experience of Ireland is a 1 day visit to Cork some years ago and I am very much looking forward to seeing a bit of it this time. Not buckets of extra time, but a few hours on either end, and I'm good at fitting things in!
Bringing my student and he co-wrote part of the lecture and the conference talk. :) yay!
