We got our motorhome stuck for the first time! videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…

But it happened in a super beautiful place, Cerro Masatrigo, and a very nice local man came to our rescue.

I also did a nice little hike called Sendero Fortaleza de Lares to get an even better view of this area in Extremadura (around the middle of Spain).

Getting stuck in the most beautiful place


Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.

Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.

I found a very interesting YouTube channel of a homeless English-speaking Japanese man. Why did it interest me? Because I always thought that without electricity and water, etc., without a home in short. A van or an apartment. It's very difficult. This man shows a different kind of life. There are a lot of YouTubers who live in a car or a van or a cabin without electricity, but very few homeless people (by choice. Mentally stable) who have to rely on electrical outlets in cafes and libraries, Public showers and finding a place every night to pitch a tent.

Will have a look. Seems interesting. For me personally I need electricity, water, and at least a tiny home :) - on wheels like we have now.

Beyond the Redesign Rhetoric: Labour, Power, and the Hidden Costs of AI-Ready Assessment


What does it really mean to redesign assessment in response to AI?

This blog post explores how institutional structures, labour dynamics and managerial logics shape what kind of assessment redesign is possible. It argues that the call to “redesign assessment” often ignores the conditions under which such work is expected to happen.

How can we create the time, trust and infrastructure to support assessment that is meaningful, critical and educationally purposeful?

Starmer bazelt nog net niet over 'rivieren van bloed'.

Voor wie denkt: "zie je wel, er is geen verschil tussen links en rechts"- trap er niet in.
Er is helemaal níets links aan Starmer.

Fantasieloze managerstypes als Starmer zien idealen slechts als een inwisselbaar marketingpraatje. Hun psychopathologie brengt een enorme machtshonger met zich mee. Als ze denken dat dat een zeteltje op kan leveren, zwepen ze met een gerust hart mensen op tegen vluchtelingen, of moslims, of joden - net wat even beter uitkomt.

Maar wat #Starmer ermee zal bereiken is hetzelfde als wat het centrum de afgelopen jaren al deed: het enige wat ze machtiger maken is niet zichzelf maar extreemrechts.

You've got to love #capitalism

This app will interrupt your day
with a bell at random times,
to remind you to NOT let your mindfulness be interrupted.

The app is free.

If you don't want to be interrupted
You got to pay.

"If you don't want to be interrupted

Or...uninstall the app?

in reply to Grymt

I'm sorry a software company tried to make it scary for you to uninstall a mindfullness app. It must have been a harrowing experience for you.
in reply to AKingsbury

Thank you, that's sweet. However, I didn't install it, nor did it scare me.

I was pointed to it by someone, and didn't need it as I already have an alarm on my phone, but read the small text anyway out of curiosity. I actually thought it was quite funny. Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is.

The app is recommended by some therapists. I think those therapists may be in need of some therapy themselves.

Also I REALLY recommend everyone to read the Terms Of Service (especially about privacy & costs) before installing ANY app. It's quite unbelievable what people will install without checking, and what commercial app stores (Google, Apple) will allow.

"Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is."

I wish I found it surprising that you apparently feel the need or impulse to express agreement with me on a position I never took.

in reply to AKingsbury

You said harrowing, I agree. What's wrong with that, and why do you seem to be insulted now? I'm thanking you?
in reply to Grymt

"You said harrowing, I agree."

Me using a single word does not mean I'm agreeing with any phrase you decide to insert that word into.

"What's wrong with that, and why do you seem to be insulted now? I'm thanking you?"

I'm hardly insulted. I'm just pointing out that your commentary is flawed.

in reply to Grymt

#idiocracy and the origin of this idiocracy is TRADE! This app would hit the top place for uninstalls. Lol


Q is for Query & Question


How do you critically analyze sources of information to decide what to believe? I'm glad this post makes the point, just being cynical and disbelieving of everything is not the answer. There are a lot of angles to look at. Personally, I think about if I were challenged by someone from a different political perspective, could I defend this source of information? If I suspect it may be biased, even and especially in a way I agree with, I look for backup collaborating information elsewhere. #ethicalrevolution #TheOnlyWayisEthics #CriticalThinking

A deserted fun park where we stayed for many days - videos.trom.tf/w/xyEUcN6iuYSdJ…

Isla del Zujar is probably a popular place in the summer, but off season it is totally deserted. And no phone service at all. But we had plenty of solar power and satellite internet so we could stay for many days there. It was very relaxing, quiet, dark, and some hiking places near by. So nice!

Reclaiming Assessment Through Annotation


I have just published a new blog post: Reclaiming Assessment Through Annotation

Annotation is often treated as a peripheral academic skill. But what if we made it central to how we assess learning in online and distance education?

In this post, I explore how annotation supports critical digital pedagogy, enables authentic forms of assessment, and offers resilience against the growing influence of generative AI.
