I reflect on a recent post by @mahabali.bsky.social and really dig deep into the hammer metaphor. Plus a song about hammers and the flowers Dave and I planted in the front yard, recently. Hammering My Way into AI-Related Metaphors and a Familiar Song: teachinginhighered.com/2026/06/07/h...

I keep practicing my new #Procreate / drawing skills. Getting a bit more muscle memory with layers, clipping masks, and alpha lock. This time, on a cool spot we stayed at in #JoshuaTree I even made a custom brush with a “stamp” of the plants on the hillside.

I enjoyed listening to @anngagne.bsky.social's latest Accessagogy episode this morning: (De)Radicalizing Accessibility. She shares how the word radical comes from a word meaning root or foundation, as drawn from the works of bell hooks and @thetattooedprof.bsky.social. anngagne.ca/podcast/epis...

I fact-checked a claim I heard on The Ezra Klein Show about gig nurses, credit scores, and wage discrimination. I tested it two ways, using approaches fr @mikecaulfield.bsky.social: • SIFT • AI critical-thinking (and doing) #InfoLiteracy #FactCheck teachinginhighered.com/2026/02/08/s...

I kept thinking about you and your #LearningOutLoud today, Karen. So grateful to know you and to keep learning from and with you. ❤️

All humans learn the same way. Cooney Horvath's book & @bonni208.bsky.social's modeling inspire me to #learnoutloud. This video youtu.be/eiu_NAWQRCs?... is in my How Learning Happens course at @sunypotsdam.bsky.social. Share your thoughts! @olicav.bsky.social #extendedmind #cognitiveloadtheory

Thanks for this kind encouragement, @polarisdotca.bsky.social. I continue to be blown away by how generous people like you have been with sharing your expertise and ideas through these conversations. So grateful.

Tomorrow feels really special. I’ll be airing episode 600 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcasts. That translates to Producing an episode every single week since June of 2014. 😮‍💨 Feeling grateful and so full of joy.

Enjoyed doing some writing this morning about our daughter's dance recital last night, the fundamentals, emergence, and a "random" connection with a recent post from @cogdog.bsky.social teachinginhighered.com/2025/12/06/t...

Hello #POD25 reception! @thomasjtobin.bsky.social @jamesmlang.bsky.social @thetattooedprof.bsky.social @bonni208.bsky.social

Honored to speak at the University System of Georgia eCampus conference today. We talked about teaching presence in a time of isolation: turning the wheel toward connection. Also: the cheese puns were legendary. 🧀💛 teachinginhighered.com/uga25

Just wrapped another #PKMastery reflection—this time on systems thinking and Senge’s The Fifth Discipline. No frogs were harmed 🐸, but a few mental models were definitely stretched. #PKM teachinginhighered.com/2025/11/09/1...

This episode of the #ThinkUDL podcast from @lilliannave.bsky.social about conversational quizzes is spectacular. Full of practical, values-based approaches. Highly recommend. #UDL overcast.fm/+AAP02qreJa4

New post inspired by Harold Jarche’s #PKMastery workshop—on why narrating our work matters, even when it feels messy, vulnerable or unfinished. Reflections on bookmarks, journals, and keeping a digital “starfish folder” for encouragement. teachinginhighered.com/2025/11/09/1...

We don’t just need experts — we need fellow seekers. Curiosity grows when we learn alongside others, experiment in public, and stay willing to not-know together. New post on #PKM, “deliberate amateurs,” Ig Nobels & more: teachinginhighered.com/2025/11/09/1...#PKM #PKMastery

Network Weaving as an Antidote to Imposter Syndrome. Turns out, the best cure for “I don’t belong here” might be remembering who we’re connected to +helping others close their triangles, too. Written from an airport, powered by curiosity. teachinginhighered.com/2025/11/08/n... #PKMastery #PKM

I'm excited to watch a recent @screencastsonline.bsky.social tutorial from @mikeschmitz.bsky.social on MindNode. However, given how behind I am from a trip I just got back from, I have to save it as a treat for myself, once fewer inboxes are on overflow.

On Ep 592: Metaphors, Free Speech, and How We Learn with Barbara Oakley. We talk why free speech matters in every discipline. Barbara also shares practical tools for teaching with metaphors + create classrooms that invite disagreement and are intellectually challenging. teachinginhighered.com/592

An important distinction and why having a #PKMastery system is so vital. Also, goals only help if you know where you want to go, but #pkm can spark new ideas and pathways to deeper learning.
