Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: Anglo-Gallic Literary Relations Basic Radio Beginning Mandarin Percussion Ensemble Intermediate German

@juliannegrasso.bsky.social Thinking about ending my year with an intro to ludomusicology for grades 3-5 and pondering what key ideas are age appropriate.

@hpburkett.bsky.social Howard, You may not remember me, but I sat in with the St. David’s Compline choir once c. 2002 on the Sunday after the Ascension. I’m trying to find out about a Lent Prose harmonization you’ve done there from time to time.

@komaniecki.bsky.social Do you have any favorite polyrhythm examples?

Looking to connect with HS computer science teachers. Have been teaching all music, but will pick up a couple of CS sections 2nd semester.

"Like all empires, this one rested on a foundation of lies." #Oathbreakers, out from @harpercollins.bsky.social on 12/10. The story of how Charlemagne's grandsons fought a brutal civil war and shattered the Frankish Empire. SIGNED COPY GIVEAWAY. Repost to enter. First drawing 7 pm CST USA. /1

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BASIC was the first coding language I learned. It most definitely opened up my young mind to the possibility and potential of technology. And for that, I can never be thankful enough. RIP 🧡 computerhistory.org/blog/in-memo...

@celexo.bsky.social Is there somewhere you explain your Dies Irae typology?

They are playing Pink Floyd as background music at my local Kroger.

I don’t share posts very often, but this a careful, thoughtful and important read from historian Bret Devereaux.

Two questions to the Latin literate.: 1. Describe (words)and depict (images) derive from the L. verbs for write and paint. What would be an analogous term for sound/music? 2. What verb does L. use for composing music as opposed to an oration?

I figured I should start my Bluesky video posting on the correct foot/paw.

What’s everyone’s favorite lightweight web framework of the moment? I need to put together a small site in the next 10 days.

Yesterday I beheld an abomination.

TIL (although maybe realized is the more appropriate verb) that the first movement of Resphigi’s Trittico Botticelliano quotes A l’Entrada del Temps Clar.

"Trump isn't finished." nytimes.com/2024/08/21/o... This is a breakout column by Tom Edsall. His expert sources — political scientists — are united in their call of alarm. There is no phony "both sides do it." And the political press is not spared. Sean Wilentz calls theirs "a staggering failure."

Just heard NBC’s Dan Hicks describe Toulouse (population c. 500,000) as a “small country town”

If you’re going to play Ravel in a rain shower I suppose Jeux d’eau is appropriate.

Thanks to @jodimeadows.bsky.social , here's the best set of instructions I've found on how to opt out of META's AI training bullshit, if they will even let you. deborahcopaken.substack.com/p/11-steps-t... The deadline is today!

@wesfryer.com Thank you. I used one of your CC photos on Flickr in a class project this week.

I’m looking for a CC licensed image and/or video of a Steinmetz bicylinder. Please boost for reach.

Bumping for visibility

It feels more and more as if Enemy of the State (the 1998 Will Smith/ Gene Hackman film) is coming true.

I find myself unexpectedly on the job market. I have two decades of experience in e-learning and academic technology - Masters degrees in music and French (Educational Technology in progress) - Arkansas or remote preferred but would relocate for the right opportunity.

Haven’t seen this yet, but sharing so I can hopefully find it when I need it.

“Teachers must stand with their students. In some cases, that may mean some of the bravest acts possible. But it doesn’t have to mean that. It can mean much smaller acts. Give students extensions. Fight administration attempts to academically punish. Be kind when grading.” With @profgabriele.com.

If you haven’t already seen it, this is worth a few minutes of your time.

Welcome to #quakesky

Does anyone have recommendations for higher ed #EdTech conferences between now and the end of June?

Here’s the deal: We stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

Pondering why we decided that the foundational skill of higher education is rapid summation of long complex texts

::taps the sign::

Has anyone heard whether the @educause.bsky.social ELI annual meeting will take place this year?

Dear bluesky hivemind, Does anyone either have their copy of Cryptonomicon handy or remember offhand Enoch Root’s explanation of techne?

Thanks to Ryan Estrada for this thread on the Charles Dickens Christmas Carolverse (well, sort of a Carolverse)

@mikecaulfield.bsky.social Are you aware of any research on how LLM detectors deal with collaboratively authored texts? I suspect that detectors might be more likely to label collaborations as AI generated, but I can’t find that anyone has tested that hypothesis. Thanks

Is anyone aware of reviewed research on the accuracy of LLM detection software when evaluating writing that is collaborative (more than one author?)
