Institution and Imaginary – How Educational Technology Reproduces the Social-Historical
Educational institutions are not static structures. They are created and sustained by the social imaginaries that shape them. In my latest blog post, I explore how educational technologies are not neutral tools, but active participants in reproducing these institutional logics.
If we want to reimagine education, we also need to rethink the role technology plays in shaping what education is and could become.

Gobantes, Málaga, on our way to the famous Caminito del Rey hike in the south of Spain: videos.trom.tf/w/j5wZUdhrLwhLc…
We found some amazing places to park our motorhome, but one spot was very tricky to get out of. This was the biggest challenge for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far 😁
We also did the laundry again, bought a lot of groceries for our little fridge, and went for a nice hike around the area.

Het gebruik van generatieve AI zet je eigen hersens op ----- flatline.
Verdomd interessant onderzoek.
De proefpersonen zijn random verdeeld over drie groepen, die allemaal dezelfde opdracht moesten doen.
Groep 1: zonder hulpmiddelen
Groep 3: met behulp van ChatGPT.
Uitslag: De ChatGPT groep had veel minder hersenactiviteit.
Alsof dat nog niet veelzeggend genoeg is, vroegen ze alle groepen daarna om nog een opdracht te doen, maar nu allemaal zonder ChatGPT.
De mensen die de eerste opdracht met ChatGPT hadden gedaan, vertoonden bij deze laatste opdracht NOG STEEDS minder hersenactiviteit.
Het effect van het gebruik van generatieve AI houdt dus ook nog eens aan!

Made a #blog post about different non standard ways to host a website or content. Touches on:
* #I2P
* #Tor
* #ipfs
* Decentralized Domains
+ the microblogging protocols
NFTs and Dark Web Shenanagins
A based design that makes a web that’s true ICANNs and NATs embrace shall be no more Behind a Pi or in the cloud for you We use that tool be I2P or Tor …nate.mecca1.net
If I may add to footnote 4, i2p outproxies are also statically defined in your configuration, vs tor which has automatically dynamic exit nodes. The typical advice if you're going to host an outproxy is to bridge it into tor to maintain anonymity.
Plus, a neat effect of bridging i2p into tor is you can use both eepsites and onion sites, as well as anonymous browsing the clearweb from the same browser without having to swap proxy configurations. Of course this comes with its own cautions.

Sasha Solo Hiking above Caminito del Rey - videos.trom.tf/w/rohi7CzpDDmBg…
Sasha went for a hike above the Caminito del Rey to see how it compares with the main, and paid for, Caminito del Rey hiking that we both did. She got to see some cool eagles, nice high peaks, and beautiful views. And put her life at risk a little bit 😄.

Autonomy and the Educated Subject: Rethinking Learning Beyond Instrumentality
What if educational autonomy was not about self-managing learning tasks, but about becoming a subject capable of critical thought, reflection, and agency?
Too often, online education reduces autonomy to individualised control over pace and content. My latest blog post argues for reclaiming autonomy as a central educational aim - not a system feature.

A faceless figure stands before a cosmic backdrop with a glowing sun, geometric networks, and floating shapes, evoking a surreal vision of thought, space, and digital interconnectedness.
J'ai besoin d' #aide ...
Pour des raisons pro, je vais devoir utiliser #telegram, outil que je ne connais pas et que j'ai toujours évité (j'utilise uniquement #signal, un peu, et sinon les mails ).
Les personnes avec qui je bosse l'utilisent comme messagerie instantanée sur les PC : vocal, partage d'écran ... Je ne prévois pas d'en faire d'autre usage.
Dans cette configuration, quelles seraient les applis/soft à prévoir pour limiter l'impact de cette "chose" ? . Précisions : mon tèl (#FP4) est sous /e/ et mon PC sur #LinuxMint .
Je précise qu'on est en mode #TINA : c'est Telegram et rien d'autre.
Merci d'avance pour vos avis et suggestions :)

Now, I'll try to relax a bit with some telly. My tummy is still rumbling all over, still working hard on starting things up again after the surgery. I wish the bowels weren't so badly impacted by events like this. The rumbling hurts a bit... 😔
Hope you're all having a good day 🌸 #TZAG ☀️

It's a watch party. We watch monster movies of questionable caliber and mock them.
Sometimes we watch a good one, and mock it anyway.
Follow #Monsterdon and #monsterdonalert if interested. The latter is the hash for the weekly poll on what the next movie will be.
