Snoozed 3 times. Hid the phone under the pillow. Tempted my brain to forget what day it was. Rolled over. Winter mornings!

Many thanks to @helenbeetham.bsky.social for inviting me onto her podcast to talk about #AI and #DigitalLiteracy - but also ambiguity, vibe coding, and the importance of play.

As I wait for editing and other publishing processes on my book 'Landing Stages', I keep on writing. wentalearn.blogspot.com/2025/06/how-... #poetry

How long does it take?

Online Learning. Edtech. Sharing.

everything will peak and decline depending on maintenance which cost $.

digital decline is more obvious (there one day and gone the next) but at the same time more subtle than natural decline. Who would've thought that Flikr would still operate or that Padlet keeps getting stronger.

the original piece tackled a lot on due process & our rights/freedoms. I'm most comfortable weaving a lot of ideas together, but also realizing there's something to be said for stripping down to the most basic core... So - one for educational purposes one for easy sharing... bsky.app/profile/nsou...

New comic: on the origins of Due Process, how fundamental it is to our very notion of freedom, and how we all must stand up for the rights for any one of us to preserve liberty for all of us. Alt-text, notes/process & printable version on my site, appreciate sharing spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/

Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta). Images and text all snake across the page across a backdrop of humans imprisoned, and packed together, becoming a black mass in the lower right. I’ve written full description of the imagery with all the text on my site at the link (can’t put enough characters here…)

Students often detest group work but it can be fruitful with some thoughtful scaffolding. wp.me/peKPOF-aW #AcademicSky #EduSky

Co-create a group contract. To foster a culture of respect and inclusion, have students co-develop a group contract that establishes rules and guidelines for communication and participation. This formalises the expectations and outlines how everyone will work together to complete the task.

I read this from Zoom and I think 'just leave me alone, I don't want your recommendations from the content of my meeting, I don't want the splintered interruption of my thinking, just leave me alone'. #AI #AIweary

Finally able to return to my chapter on the origin of the universe - and here, part of the page on what goes on in the interior of a star and how a star is a momentary reversal of the downward flow of entropy. A star brings forth possibilities... #Nostos #Unflattening 2

the upper third of a comics page - the whole page deals with the goings on of the inside of a star. I set it up by talking about entropy being the rule of the universe, but stars are a temporary reversal. We see an hourglass-like shape flowing from the upper middle of the page into a sun - which has diagrammatic images of the sun's interior. The hourglass shape has stripes like a greek vase/meander - three strips show an hourglass, sand falling, in the second row of that the hourglasses are spinning, and continue to do so in the third row. Between these rows, there is a rapid retelling of the origin of the universe leading up to the formation of the first stars. The final strip of this has a blazing new sun. And a final set of strips, which depict Hydrogen nuclei tumbling towards the center of the star form.
