Unfortunately I am accessing it (or trying to) through a laptop and uh...none of it seems to work?

This UI is...baffling.

A side note--it's really hard to recreate the environment that allows for that kind of learning on line, whether synchronous or asynchronous. It requires both fluidity of communication and time spent getting to know each other.

Facilitation matters for guiding the conversation, keeping it on target, navigating conflict etc. But I remember things my peers said in class much more clearly than anything I took notes on. (5/5)

It made me realize I hadn't really thought through that position--I was just repeating what I thought was expected of me. (4/5)

A memory that sticks with me from undergrad is a time I made a statement to the effect of "obviously I think humans are more important than animals" and a peer was like "why though?" (in a minimally snarky way). (3/5)

Plus I think there are times when hearing something from a peer makes it more credible than hearing it from an expert who feels far removed from our own life experience. (2/5)

I'm thinking in the context of the humanities, primarily. Students are able to articulate a variety of experiences and positions that their peers haven't encountered before, and by virtue of being peers can express ideas in ways that resonate. (1/5)

Students' ability to learn from each other. (Facilitated) conversation between students can be more impactful than a lot of more "measurable" pedagogical tools.

This is what life is all about, folks.

"Shelter me from having to live my life" is basically what techies want from genAI and it's just so sad.

Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social . If it's your area of expertise it reads as a bit of a survey, but I think it's very useful for reaching a broader audience. And his takes on American Christianity are consistently very good.

Why are you attacking me specifically

I mean she really just keeps on giving

And the way Elizabeth's headpiece mirrored them!
