Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Opening keynote from @marksmithers.bsky.social at inspirED this morning. "We are entering a period of great upheaval. Resilience is needed." but "There has never been a more exciting time to be working in digital learning". Agree! #HE #edtech #edusky

There is a lot to unpack in Heutagogy, however you may pronounce it....Lisa Marie Blaschke. #ascilite2024 sketchnoting

@czernie.bsky.social is 100% right. You want to make a difference? Get involved in your uni's procurement process of ed tech softwares (including GenAI). Push back - ask thorny questions. Don't let them cut out the academic voice, especially the voice fighting for greater equity. #ascilite2024

The origin of heutagogy. Fireside chat with Chris Kenyon and @drlisamarie.bsky.social —the importance of including learners in the process and having the autonomy to govern their own process. (Insert: Stewart Hase) #ascilite2024

Agency is innate in humans from the moment we arrive in this world. The ‘system’ strips it from us by imposing a structure and limitations. #ascilite2024 @drlisamarie.bsky.social

Looking forward to a deeper dive into this. A fantastic trigger for reflection on our way forward with AI. This quote grabbed me "We stand at a critical crossroads, where our decision is not just about adopting a technology but about choosing the future of human agency, knowledge, wisdom and ethics"

Connecting teacher candidates - education faculty - schools and EC centers - using the UniConnected tool with Amanda Samson #ascilite2024. Great ideas for connecting students to the workforce.

Mollie Dillinger explaining how RiPPLE (Recommendation in Personalised Peer Learning Environments) could potentially be used to realize large-scale, inclusive, in-class student partnerships ascilite2024

Jinping Zhong talks about how learners need to be creative agents in order to successfully engage with AI outputs — then aligns her conceptual framework with #heutagogy #ascilite2024

Susan McKenney gives us a detailed summary of DBR roles at #ascilite2024

I've long respected Gregor Kennedy's ability to present rich ideas in an accessible and engaging style. Thoughtful ideas about false dichotomies in current discourse #ascilite2024

Nice to be back in Melbourne for the #ascilite2024 conference! Looking forward to an engaging and productive next couple of days.

Looking forward to Susan’s keynote this morning at #ascilite2024!

🦘🎓 GenAI manifesto for teaching & learning. Something to consider... The manifesto recognises GenAI is not ideologically or culturally neutral, which is not something that is widely recognised in Australian academia (even among humanities and social science academics!)

#ASCILITE2024 pre conference Workshops & Welcome Reception wrapped - well done team!

I booked to attend the ASCILITE 2024 computers and education conference at the University of Melbourne, 1 to 4 December. But conferences with multiple streams can be a bewildering experience, so I like to do a best of, in advance. Here are my picks: blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2024/11/best...

Very much looking forward to @audreywatters.bsky.social next book. From her blog The Extra Mile: “I really don't write in order to ‘change anyone's mind’ …mostly I write in the hopes of provoking others to _think_.” And THAT is why we need you to keep writing!
