Since we're on the subject of #academia, #teaching, and the consumerization of #HigherEd, I offer you this delightful and prophetic little passage from Iain Pears, Death and Restoration. A Jonathan Argyll Mystery (1996)

Add these terms to your vocabulary:

• "group interaction module"' (wait , we already have something pretty close to that)

• "factualities"
(this one's a keeper, though)

Argyll’s lecture, a moronically simple canter through the more ostentatious church commissions of the 17th century, had gone tolerably well, so he thought. That is to say, there had been 40 people in the room when he started, and still more than 20 when he’d ended. Such wastage would have alarmed him, but his head of department assured him that it was pretty good, considering. Considering what? he’d asked. Considering that it was a morning lecture....Not early risers, these people. As they, or their parents, were paying a fortune, they generally imagined that a lectures should be scheduled for their convenience. Just as they seemed to think that the level of grade should vary in direct proportion to the size of the fees

‘And,’ this wiseacre continued. ‘You didn’t show many pic- tures. Risky. They like looking at pictures. You don’t show pictures, they’ve not got anything to do. Except listen, and i

- think. And lectures. Dear me. A bit authoritarian, you know? | Don’t you think a group interaction module might be better?”

‘What’s that?’

‘It's where you break down hierarchy. They teach them- selves.’

. ‘But they don’t know anything,” Argyll protested. ‘How can you teach yourself if you don’t know anything to start off with?’

‘Ah. You've spotted the snag. However, that one is easily solved. You are confusing knowledge with creativity. You are meant to be encouraging their self-expression. Not stifling it by the imposition of factualities over which you deny them control.’

I'm currently trying to work with my TA and the teaching coordinators to figure out when and where best to schedule my Introduction to Quantum Physics lecture course next academic year.

It's a rather fun game of 3D chess: I want a room that has space, which feels welcoming, and ideally has student group working space outside or in the vicinity. I also want to be able to have all the contact teaching on two or at most three days so students don't have to come in every day. And it's also good if the teaching is at a time when students are available, without clashes.

I really love this part of the job – thinking in advance about what is best for students. ❤️

input ≠ intake

What amazes me again and again in #teaching is that a considerable number of teachers firmly believes "input = intake", i.e., teacher's input equals student's intake and then argue along the lines of "... but I told them!" This is so fundamentally and inherently wrong.

It took that comment to make me realize that last year at this yearly crunch-time, we still had hybrid teaching. I miss it when trying to get everyone out the door early enough to get to my first lectures on time.... but when I'm actually in the classroom, I'm so glad to teach to humans rather than little Teams dots.

This week is teaching-heavy (actually, the next 6 weeks...). Partner is non-academic and was a bit confused that I'll be on campus every day this week. "But you're teaching? Oh, wait, you mean *live*?"

Indeed, all live- no more online classes. Live teaching is better for the students, better for me as a teacher. Much more complex for work-life. It's going to be a bumpy landing into summer break...

I just wanna say that I’m proud of how far I’ve come with #DazStudio. When I first came across it a few years ago, it was intimidating.

Then the pandemic hit.

I was stuck #AtHome, #teaching virtually and playing around with figure posing apps on my iPad. Then something clicked and I was like, “This feels familiar.” Then I hopped on Daz again. While everyone else was learning how to bake bread and hoarding toilet paper, I was watching YouTube tutorials and learning the basics of making renders. It was like a whole other world opened up for me.

What you’re seen from me is three years of trial and error and doing the work I need to step my game up. I’m nowhere near a master at #Daz3D, but I thank y’all for supporting me and being with me on this journey. 🙏🏾

As an academic teacher who loves teaching and who keeps thinking about teaching, I have one author to whom I will always go back, and that is John Dewey.

Dewey understands the dialogical nature of teaching, and he speaks about it in a way that enables the reader to think freely and openly about the process of education.

Thank you, Project Gutenberg, for making his writing available, and thank you for your presence here on Mastodon!

After being on the job market for close to 3 months now, it's with a sigh of relief and a rush of excitement I can finally see the full-time occupation of doing job interviews to an end.


Starting gently now in June, and full-time in September, I'm joining Ludenso as VP of Platform Engineering!


It's been a wild and educational ride, and I've met with so many interesting companies, but in the end, I chose to go with Ludenso for the ability it gives me to improve the fields of teaching and learning – especially in the classroom. Having a daughter who says she hates school is naturally a strong, personal motivation.

It's been a long time since I was as enthusiastic about work as I am now. I'm eagerly looking forward to the adventure this surely is going to be!

I’m excited to announce my new book, Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher is now available to pre-order everywhere: https://www.earthislandbooks.com/product-page/anarchist-atheist-punk-rock-teacher-by-dan-mckee

Out June 16th on Earth Island Books, as the blurb says: it’s a memoir exploring the various ways in which anarchist philosophy, atheism, and a background in DIY punk rock influenced one conflicted teacher's approach to the classroom over twelve turbulent and thought-provoking years.

‘Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher' is more than just a memoir of some teacher you've never met. It is philosophy of education, of anarchism, of authenticity, and of life. Throw in some personal history, the deaths of both of his parents to deal with on top of juggling all the professional absurdities that come with the job (not to mention having to teach through a global pandemic), and you have all the earmarks of a biographical classic.

Sharing frontline insights which help explain why currently one in three teachers in England plan on quitting the profession, and the first-hand experience of being one of those very statistics, this memoir of struggle, grief, philosophy and hope tells a story of why, despite all its endless frustrations and inherent contradictions, there still might be no better job in the world than being an 'Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher'.

Tech should be integrated to a degree & definitely taught about, but beyond that it will mostly get in the way. Effective #teaching has less to do with tech & all to do with #methodology.

#teaching asynchronous online is like a master class in how much class administration is done through very small, almost indirect moments of communication in the F2F classroom.

A simple assignment brief suddenly becomes a thesis. A short clarifying remark becomes a ten-minute video.

A little exaggeration here but not as much as I'd like.

Today marks the 102nd anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, something a not inconsiderable number of white Americans learned about through a superhero TV show. If you are a #teacher, talk about it with your students. We need to stop being able to say 'they never taught you this in school.' #history #blackhistory #americanhistory #teaching

The latest episode of my #podcast: Redefining Society is served… consume it while is still warm and crunchy 🎙️✨😬

#Book | Inside The #liberalarts: Critical Thinking And #citizenship | A Conversation With Author Jeffrey Scheuer

This Episode of Redefining Society Podcast is sponsored by: Bugcrowd, BLACKCLOAK, And Devo!!!

Get ready to dive deep into the fabric of society as we explore the future of #education on Redefining Society Podcast with your host, Marco Ciappelli. Today, we welcome Jeffrey Scheuer to discuss critical thinking, liberal arts, and the true meaning of citizenship.

Read More
Welcome to this thought-provoking episode of the Redefining Society Podcast with your host, Marco Ciappelli. Prepare to dive deep into a compelling conversation that investigates the very bedrock of society — education. Is there something fundamentally amiss with how we're imparting knowledge to the next generation? Are we teaching them how to learn and critically think about what they're #learning? Listen in as we explore these burning questions and more.

In this episode, Marco engages in a riveting conversation with Jeffrey Scheuer, the author of "Inside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship." A book that ambitiously endeavors to merge the realms of liberal arts, critical thinking, and citizenship into a comprehensive whole in just under 200 pages. Jeffrey takes on the challenge of explicating the elusive nature of liberal #arts, critical thinking, and their inherent connections, a task rarely undertaken in earnest.

As you listen, contemplate Marco's ethos: he's not here to provide definitive answers but to encourage his audience to ponder different perspectives and cultivate their own thoughts. In a world where the term 'liberal' has become so politically charged, Jeffrey offers clarity by tracing its roots back to ancient Rome. 'Liberal arts,' he posits, originally meant 'the skills of a free citizen of the Roman Republic,' and miraculously, still carries that connotation. It's about citizenship, about the transactions between the individual and the community, and this conversation delves into what it truly means to be a good citizen.

Today, in the age of information overload and evolving technological landscapes, are the education and media industries keeping pace? Are they fostering informed, enlightened citizens or merely consumers of information? What's the role of critical thinking in navigating the ceaseless waves of data and stimuli we encounter daily?

Join us as we discuss these fascinating topics and more. Let's redefine society together. If this conversation makes you think, Marco has done his job. Share your thoughts, spread the conversation, and make sure to subscribe to the Redefining Society Podcast for more insightful discussions. Remember, we're here not just to consume information, but to critically think, engage, and shape the world around us. Let's start the journey.

@ConatusPrinciple I haven't gotten through Capital yet, but from what I have read of Marx, as a teacher, you are involved in the "social reproduction" of society, by virtue of preparing the society's newest members for participation in said society, particularly in the economy. Social reproduction is a necessary component of every mode of production; without it, the society eventually ceases to exist.

So I would assume that, by *default* at least, anything falling under the umbrella of social reproduction is "productive labour," unless some sort of exception is argued for.

For summer class prep, I've been updating my CS 200 programming exercises so that they're designed for a group of 2-3 students. To do this, each program in an exercise has a version A, B, and C, and each student will tackle one of em - that way, if one student goes MIA, their lack of work won't affect the others.

This also means that the exercises need to cover the same stuff but different programs.

Since it’s teaching eval season again, just a reminder that numerous studies have shown that these evals measure bias, not teaching effectiveness. Their use in for anything beyond feedback directly to the prof—ie tenure & promotion—is legally dubious, professionally irresponsible, and ethically wrong.

So, read yours with a glass of wine and a whole shaker of salt. Solidarity to all the women out there who get comments on being motherly or mean, well-dressed or unattractive, too challenging or a push-over.

One of the greatest impediments of #learning is #teaching. Which is why, in the #qomenius approach to learning, we take teachers out of the equation, and let small groups of 4, 5 or 6 people learn "all by themselves".

In that thread I articulated some observations on why discussing #teaching and #learning can be hard: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2021/it-can-be-hard-to-talk-about-learning-and-teaching/

"It can be hard to accurately remember the experience of not having a skill... what your mental models were, what perceptual gaps you have since fixed...

...people will use different words to describe the same experience, or will have divergent conscious memories..."

"People don't learn like that!" often means "I have no conscious recollection of learning that way."

Twice in the last month, someone has lamented near me that they have a bunch of learned-through-experience knowledge in their head, and they don't know how to draw it out into lessons to #teach their colleagues.

This is called "tacit knowledge". And fortunately, we actually know some ways to elicit it from experts & use it to train new learners!

I've appreciated Cedric Chin's blog series on this:

#introduction (new account but not new to fedi)

I'm really passionate about story telling. I make little indie games and write stories. With both mediums I tend towards the dark but quirky, think of Addams Family and youve got the right idea.

I love sharing the projects I'm working on. I'll post often about them. More formal write ups go on my Blog/Portfolio. Link for that and all my socials are in my bio.

I'm still deciding if I want to move to this new account fully from my
@queenofsquiggles@indiepocalypse.social account. So far I'm really liking CalcKey so I'll probably move over when I can

The current capabilities of ChatGPT's free version (3.5) to correct student writing for punctuation, capitalization, grammar, etc. is impressive.

How might we use this as teachers to improve feedback (esp the VELOCITY of specific feedback) on student writing?
