Confusing The Machines With My ChickenScratch Writing

dogtrax, 1 month ago

I had taken and uploaded an image of a piece of paper where I had been handwriting a poem (read Little Geometry) through the day last week after watching a student catch a snowflake in her hand. I’ll be the first to admit that my handwriting is nearly indecipherable to others (my 10 years as […]

Comic About Teaching: Zoom Mutterings

dogtrax, 2 months ago

I find it fascinating how pretty much universal this is: a presenter/teacher talking out about the technological things they are doing as the Zoom crowd waits for whatever comes next. I’ve even found myself apologizing to my students to narrating what I am doing to get things ready for class when we are on Zoom. […]

Turning Collaborative Poem Into Song (but it ain’t no Shanty)

dogtrax, 2 months ago

The other day, I wrote about a collaborative poem that folks in #ds106, and #clmooc, and beyond had contributed to. With 106 lines in its construction, the poem has now become a place of possible remix. I had joked at one point at trying to write a Sea Shanty with some of the words (ie, […]

It’s been encouraging and inspiring […]
