I won't say toot.

Reader, writer, teacher, scholar, doozer. Little EdTech with a big mouth. Manic pixie dream academic. Settler. Feminist. Podcaster of limited note. All opinions now yours.

If you're a subscriber, the first post of the TRU Digital Detox landed in your inbox this evening. If you're not, I'm super sad for you but I'm gonna share it here anyway. It's about learning analytics and how maybe they don't suck in the abstract but the way we use them sure does: https://digitaldetox.trubox.ca/toxic-tech-1-learning-analytics-and-the-dangers-of-a-little-bit-of-knowledge/

The natural food store in my town has posted a picture of Buddy the Elf hocking some vitamin bullshit treatment for erectile dysfunction and I’ve never been a “put the Christ back in Christmas” person but this could take me there.

Surely the whole point of open is to do things to be inclusive even when it takes more effort than the default, even when it challenges emergent norms. But its seems not.

Once again, I am asking you to look around your maskless conferences and see who isn't in the room. People the movement was happy to extend space to when it was easy, but chooses not to now that it is less easy.

It has been striking to watch the open education community, in particular, actively choose to not embrace disability justice and radical access in the Covid era.

I'm grateful the team lets me come out from behind my admin curtain and have some fun. Today I joined @brennacgray and Jon in a very cool course on Sculpture/Intermedia where students will be creating artworks with a sound element.
