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.

A retro-futuristic scene showing abstract educational technology structures merging with surreal landscapes, symbolising the intersection of institutional design and imaginative possibility.

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.

We almost didn't get out of this beautiful place


We went to the famous Caminito Del Rey in the South of Spain. But before we had to do the hike, we stopped for a few days in some near-by beautiful places. On particular was very nice, but almost impossible to get out. This was the most challenging for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far. We also did the laundry again, bought some food, and went for a nice walk 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

in reply to Nate

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.

in reply to dcatoffm

Thanks, I think I maybe mention somewhere that could can use tor+i2p if you setup the right proxy config (unless I didn't and only thought I did and am expecting people to just read my mind lol). But never had a setup like that myself so can't personally say any more than that I've heard that others have done it.

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.

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 :)

Salut, perso je l'utilise régulièrement sans problème (j'ai aussi Signal au cas où), c'est pratique, souple, je ne vois pas bien ce qu'on peut lui reprocher, ça fait deux ans que je l'utilise et RAS ! Voilà !


Well, been busy with boosting some toots again. 😊
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 ☀️

One sad thing of not being awake during my night time here now, is that I missed all the #Monsterdon toots... I've never participated, but I always enjoy seeing all the toots from my friends...

@raineyday
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.
