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@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 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 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@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@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 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@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 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@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@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@EduCelebrity at least we know both the jobs and our future pay will be on some blockchain somewhere
Greg McVerry@writinglit Something else that been percolating thanks to the great @bonniestewart that explores some of the benefits....basicaly community and civic ready before college and career: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/04/25/seven-steps-to-prosocialweb #literacies
Greg McVerry@dogtrax we should do a curated set of #smallpoems for this https://www2.ncte.org/resources/journals/english-journal/call-for-manuscripts/ #nctevillage... Have to look into the copyright of the poems though...see if you have to sign it away. Most poems are some Creative Commons license
Greg McVerry@writinglit First you can never know how truth is truly shaped online until you shape your own, and two listen to students: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/12/11/some-quick-quotes-on-edu106-and-the-power-of-indieweb #literacies
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@erik_palmer Well actually you can even look at the rhetorical problems with the word well, your post has so many good tips so changing up the lede a bit could be great advice. #nctevillage
Greg McVerry@writinglit Education has gotten in the way of learning for a long, long time. #literacies
