Greg McVerry@BenPatrickWill Jockeys also hit horses with whips to make them go faster. Results do not make that right either. Want students to pay attention, use better teaching. https://twitter.com/BenPatrickWill/status/1167358886397038597 #digped
Greg McVerryI don't fear the smart tutors and machine learning models, let tools good at gathering low hanging fruit do it so I can concentrate on thinking about entire environment affecting the trees. I do fear the exploitation as hype chases data.
Greg McVerry@BryanAlexander @baha_mali How are we defining AI? Do we mean machine learning models that spot patterns or correlate metadata? Machine models that change based on patterns, correlations, or regression? First exists, latter not so much.
Greg McVerry@cswordpress Yes I quickly learned this last year working to teach a student who is blind to code for the first time. My normal tools didn't work. @glitch isn't accessible, with your help and talking to others just started with blank text editor. That worked.
Greg McVerry@kylewmahan I just saw "Any Competent Adult 2020" had my vote
Greg McVerry@mrejfox @RonautDreams @aaronp Whether in Brooklyn or Bay Area we have upcoming events to come hack on your sites and figure this out with other value driven folks: https://indieweb.org/Events in fact @indiewebcamp NYC is Oct 5-6 https://indieweb.org/2019/NYC
Greg McVerry@cswordpress I get all the webmentions but yes I got the @ mention on Twitter too. Glad to hear that @withknown meets most accessibility (beyond the minor photo title as both syndicated content, as alt text). Never thought about all the other tools involved.
Greg McVerry@Cambridgeport90 remember Loqi also picks up a few keywords, so sometimes you may start a tweet with an @ mention and it will still show up in chat based on keywords, apologies if I jumped into a semi-private conversation.
Greg McVerry@AACTE I just joined the online community, it is all free essay writing and cheap ammo spam. I would either add better membership filters or remove the forums completely.
Greg McVerry@cswordpress @Cambridgeport90 might make for a great keynote topic #justsayin also huge h/t to @pferrele for all their work in ensuring WP #IndieWeb themes can me the highest #a11y standards possible on the CMS
Greg McVerry@cswordpress oooh thank you so much, not sure we have had even the most of informal reviews of accessibility. I know for example the photo post types in @withknown need basic support. I stopped posting photo post types as much as I can until fixed
Greg McVerry@cswordpress @Cambridgeport90 I picked a 5th choice: non WordPress CMS. Still native mf2 support in WPEngine properties would be great. Blocks worry all the PHP folks who have no, and don't want any, React experience.
Greg McVerry@EduCelebrity at least we know both the jobs and our future pay will be on some blockchain somewhere
Greg McVerry@ddubdrahcir Sounds like everyone of my vacations. I am down
Greg McVerry@ipnosimmia I am breaking my class up into four sections this year 1: tell your story, 2: learn something, 3: teach something, 4 do something #digped
Greg McVerry@ipnosimmia Anyone with a passion. Find a passion, get a blog. #digped
Greg McVerry@janboddez Wow!! So cool you found app...It's amazing, and HTML on your site is marked up with microformats the post you publish from a micropub cliet will usually display better, plus other sites you follow (Indigenous is a reader too) can talk to you
Greg McVerry@drjaxon small language choice matters, instead of a "suspicion score" just reverse score and publish a "trustworthy" rating....I would skip completely, learning to embodied to make validity claims based on eye movement. #digped
Greg McVerryBeen using Known and @microdotblog as web app on my phone using "save to homepage" both work well. Rarely find myself turning to micropub clients. Do hope something like Koype comes along that can be a blog engine to front end built on something like Glitch
