Zotero continues to be the best reference manager around — #FOSS, made by scholars for scholars. Upcoming features (now available for beta testing) include automatic relinking of #mendeley citations, much faster #googledocs integration, and support for #latex math in notes
If you don't use a reference manager yet (or if you're using a for-profit one like Mendeley or EndNote) you can always give #Zotero a whirl: it's free and doesn't lock you in: https://zotero.org
I'm presenting at #OzCHI22 (a #hybrid conference) on #hybridwork #hybridlearning #hybridlearningspaces and I am interested to know, how many of your meetings/classes are hybrid each week?
Here's David Carroll @profcarroll on Content Warnings (CW) at Mastodon.
"Another way I like to think about this feature is as Consent Widgets, where instead of trying to trigger people on their timelines and getting rewarded for that, you erect some friction akin to a subject line, creating a layer of inferred consent in the timeline experience. A Consent Widget asks, would you consent to opening up my post about an intense topic?"

Now that I've been here for a week or so, here's a more detailed #introduction
I run a boutique #LearningDesign business in #Melbourne. I enjoy supporting not-for-profit and community based education. I'm an advocate of #InclusiveDesign.
I live in North Melbourne which is on the fringe of our CBD. I am interested in #UrbanDesign and cities that are bike and pedestrian friendly.
I'm an active member of Melbourne's vibrant #gay scene and so am passionate about #inclusivity, #equality and #SocialJustice.
A little known fact about me is that I was born in #Bolton in the #UK. I migrated to #Australia as a young boy and had to quickly learn how to speak English so the local Aussies could understand me.

My #FridayReflection
Should we be importing traditions from other social spaces? For example #FollowFriday.
I'd suggest this approach needs to pivot somehow as #Mastadon is designed to minimise flocking behaviour and a guru culture.
Ideas, represented by hashtags are valued here. We are participating in a #KnowledgeNetwork. It is knowledge, ideas, innovations, viewpoints etc that we should share (and question) here.
So, I suggest #FollowFriday should pivot to sharing and amplifying ideas not people.
For example 👇
Two concepts I've bumped into here are: #SmallWeb

And,
The #SmallThings manifesto:

I'm questioning how these novel ways of thinking might impact #education
#Follow and #amplify what #intrigues you and have a great weekend. 👍
Updated June 19th, 2023 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch it! You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.
#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!
This will be a massive expansion, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.
This is the way the internet is supposed to work.
