Tamagotchigogy: A Pedagogical Framework of Care, Feedback, and Responsiveness. Is it a new pedagogy for the post-COVID digital age or just a really annoying metaphor? https://geoffcain.com/blog/tamagotchigogy-a-pedagogical-framework-of-care-feedback-and-responsiveness/

Started a weekly podcast "Dare to Be Random." NotebookLM podcasts on things that should not be podcasts. Semiotic critique on the banality of podcast culture? A deconstruction of post-humanist AI narrative? Deconfabulation of the dominant paradigm? You be the judge! https://open.spotify.com/show/33QRcjrHTDnCzgn8r0MlOV?si=e4d60ada0e204fb1

Dare to Be Random!

Podcast · Geoff Cain · This podcast is meant to hack the chthonic liminal mind to unleash a guaranteed increase in productivity by 10.29%. This exercise in digital surrealist archeology will transform how you look at technology and yourself. D2BR is a sandbox for AI performance art and controlled chaos that celebrates the deep aesthetics of the random!

Check out Natasha Maria Gomes' open textbook (work book) "'Keep Calm and STEAM Ahead: a Handbook on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) for educators." I was her faculty mentor though OE4BW which consisted of me saying "That is awesome, yes do that!" a lot. She is using art, music and theatre to teach STEAM: https://geoffcain.com/blog/keep-calm-and-steam-ahead/

@toddconaway Wouldn’t it be awesome if they actually offered a salary that would allow them to live in the area?

@toddconaway Whimsy is a greatly underestimated teaching modality. We do not know of this “academia” that you speak of. We would love to hear your take on NotebookLM.

"I believe that when both educators and learners improve their critical AI literacy, they will be better able to resist using AI in ways that are harmful or inappropriate. Instead, they will feel empowered to use it constructively, while being aware of the limitations."
