Let's be honest Final Trilogy doomed from moment Thrawn Chronicles were rejected as canon. Ignoring the 7th Gee a remake, 8th as WTF, and 9th as okay you have thrown out all the rules....so why not play whose your daddy 1 more time
@kd0602 Here is my my "hand" poem, thx for the prompt...had half of an idea for a poem when I lurched from my bed but your hand helped me grasp the emptiness of my metaphor #clmooc: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/04/29/smallpoemsmy-fingers-root-in-gardens
bit of fun with last poem. Ode to Madison Square Garden of Old, used to be a row circumventing stadium between 100/200 level. Filled with seats now. With credit card deals, $300 tix only wealthy get to move #clmooc #writingcommunity
@boffosock thanks for the book link. I will read into it, just came off a bit Eurocentric to me to claim one neolithic standing stone monument in UK was first. Maybe it is, but it sent my spidey senses tingling. Always thought of Stonehendge as a burial ground with astronomical features (same as the pyramids this way).... Not sure I would agree that an astro
@arotherham What are you suggesting? We just walk away from negotiated pensions and have neither plumbing nor roof when we retire? For many years in CT teachers didn't even pay social security. I can't start a new retirement plan at 42.
I use an h-feed and h-entry of books I read on https://jgregorymcverry.com/mypoetry and @withknown has a read post plugin that uses HTML as well. I am not wrapping the author in an the h-card and only include an h-review if I rate the book
The whole xMOOC/cMooc distinction just folks following the well worn path of academic justification by making up new terms for others to use profiting off of fact "naming things is hard",
@NomadWarMachine Just put this thread in the dissertation and be done with the section...scratch that, write each chapter as a a thread of tweets involving other people
Do agree no new teacher should even enroll in pensions programs. Chances you will only make it seven years long before vested...then wait for the tax penalty as you convert....We will see how people get used to UBI experiments happening
@NomadWarMachine I wouldn't make the distinction, tell the story of how "massively open" got co-opted into "massively enrolled, massively dropped out, massively not that useful" while #ds106 the OG "massively open" running strong
@anildash has podcast no one knew...makes sense not to be all over place, especially when opponent is imploding, why risk unnecessary exposure? Better move IMO is to argue networks need to give Biden equal time since briefings are campaign
@dajbelshaw From this side of the pond I dig Angel's Envy, Belle Meade, Hillrock Solera Bourbon (not that I can afford a whisky habit at this price point)
Trump gets the TV time for free, would deplete Biden to even try to compete and you run the risk of coming off as undermining the office in time of national crisis. Every poll trending correctly for Biden. Don't break what works
@JennBinis I am not arguing for SDL....it is a myth designed by the same bros who believe auto-didactic learning is highest form of intelligence to guide a just meritocracy. I don't think going back to normal path to justice and equity
Saying for years, get us ready for moment like this, needed to increase educator/student digital #literacies skills & best way to do this = give everyone website. Thanks to a grant from @SCSU and @UCONN can make #oer too #satchat
Yes expand our community as our campuses would be a wonderful way to rethink our schools. Self-directed learning itself is a myth, no learning is self directed. It is always social. We just have rejected much of the culture of our students
@JennBinis catch any #SpeculativeEd conferences, BiPOC educational leaders reminding us schools always been tools of assimilation and a mechanism to harm indigenous children? Mandatory edu made traditional family life illegal
