Analyzing analysis

Another reflection, triggered by my visit to DevLearn. One of the things that matters, and we don't discuss enough, is analysis. That is, starting up front to determine what we need! There are nuances here, and I'm not a total expert (paging Dawn Snyder), but certain things are…

Kat rocks!

It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Energy independence starts now.

Donating blood (heh, giving), maybe you can too? (Red Cross needs to be here!)

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

Beyond LLMs

So, I was recently at the DevLearn conference, and it was, as always, fun. Though, as you might expect, there as non-stop discussion of AI. Of course, even on the panel I was on (with about 130 other Guild Masters; hyperbole, me?) it was termed AI tho' everyone was talking Large…

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.”
--Teddy Roosevelt (R)

When we pull our dollars from harmful corporations, we’re not just saying “no.” We’re saying “yes” to our own communities.

Shopping local keeps money circulating in our neighborhoods, supports workers directly, and builds the kind of economy we actually want to live in.

She f*cken warned us.

Damn you who didn’t listen.

A Dishonorable Strike Indulging all assumptions in favor of the administration’s boat strikes, killing helpless men is murder

"The DOD Manual is clear because the law here is clear: 'Persons who have been incapacitated by . . . shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack.'"

This came from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed by Biden. Mace voted against it.

Rethinking AI and education

I read a post today about Artificial Intelligence and education, and it prompted some thoughts. Including causing me to rethink a post I made earlier! It's all about using AI to assist with instruction, and it's probably worth sharing my thinking, to see what you all…

Dr. Seuss was a political cartoonist before he did children’s books

I think RWers never got the message hiding in plain sight in his books like The Sneetches, Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax…

Realizing the joy of putting chores and things on Reminders list so I can take them off again when done. And getting things done.

Didn't know he had passed away. Condolences, he was simply a great person: wise, calm, thoughtful, and yet fun.

Six Ways to Use Examples And Nonexamples To Teach Concepts The best way to help learners form accurate concepts is to provide examples and nonexamples. Here are 6 ways to do that.

Thinking about motivation

So, I haven't been a big Self-Determination Theory (SDT) person, simply because I hadn't really known about it. I learned about it enough to mention in my most recent tome (highlighting the importance of motivation in learning), but that's about it. However, it's been…

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Still the myths

Over on LinkedIn, about the last site worth visiting (I do use Bluesky and Mastodon, but they're not really 'sites' so much as channels), I am still seeing quotes about people believing in misinformation. Learning styles, generations, attentions spans dropping, etc, all these…

I'll be driving 8 hours to a conference next week, because I don't think flying is currently a smart choice. That said, I made that decision back in the late spring, because I didn't trust the FAA and other admin choices; the current lack of pay only confirms my action.

Making the case

I was asked, recently, about how to get execs to look more favorably on L&D initiatives. And, I discover, I've talked about this before, more than 15 years ago. And we're still having the conversation. So, it appears we're still struggling with making the case. Maybe there's…
