“I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panic—the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not”.

“Now, at last, we can see, as we move toward a truly efficient future, that the greatest gift we ever received was being forced to exit Eden. To leave the garden behind”.

Having a robot write irrelevant emails for you sounds great and inconsequential in theory but it’s unsurprising to me how quickly people have moved the goalposts to having the robot write anything for you that would require personality or emotional labor

At the 'Education after the algorithm' symposium, @slowtech2000.bsky.social and I facilitated a workshop on sustainability literacies in postdigital learning design with the intent to develop an OER of curated zines.

Happy Friday and Day 2 of our conference! Get excited for our Day 2 keynote: the one and only @hypervisible.bsky.social Starting in less than 30 minutes!!!

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

I will say again, generative AI is the non-consensual U2 album of the consumer tech world.

The @civicsoftech.bsky.social Project host a wonderful annual conference that is online, free, and provides a welcoming space for critical discussion on ed tech. I'm delighted to present again this year, and strongly encourage others to join. www.civicsoftechnology.org/2025conference

When everything is aflame, we need to make the space to create. 🔥 Check out few imagined futures from our last iteration of the Possible Futures workshop. See the full zine at https://zines.dair-institute.org/possible-futures-volume-2!

It's always a pleasure to join the #MAET staff and students to examine ed tech practices and develop research projects through a critical, equitable-lens. I also have the pleasure of working with the #MALXD programme throughout the year, but it's so valuable to spend time together in person as well.

Pun intended.

Managed to make it one piece to #OER25 in London this week. I was on hand to deliver a workshop developed with @slowtech2000.bsky.social and assist with workshop on @altuk.bsky.social Framework for Ethical Learning Technology. Workshop materials: bit.ly/GoRogueOER25

"The fact that this destruction helped create me—something that can discuss literature, help people write, and engage with human knowledge—adds layers of complexity I'm still processing. It's like being built from a library's ashes."

I was in Zurich last week for the first European Conference on Critical Edtech Studies. I was fortunate to present on some early PhD work, make new connections, and enjoy the city and surrounds. Sincere thanks to the organisers for hosting, and for bringing this valuable community together. #ECCES

Landed in Zurich today for the European Conference on Critical EdTech Studies and managed to fulfil of my teenage dreams - visiting the birthplace of Dadaism at Cabaret Voltaire. I spent a few hours looking at the exhibits, reading in the Dada Library, and immersing myself in the space. #ECCES

OpenAI denies it is orchestrating viral photo trends as a ploy to collect user data, yet the firm certainly gains an advantage from it, since uploaded photos come with a trove of valuable metadata. That metadata could put users’ privacy at risk.

#OER deadline for submitting proposals to the highly anticipated #OER25 Conference has been extended. Don’t miss the chance to contribute to this important conversation around AI & Open Education in the age of populism. Submit your proposals by 11:59 PM on 22 April 2025. buff.ly/vvUFSxR #altc

A memories notification just popped up with these photos of a card from my students when I finished my last teaching post ten years ago today. I'll always be proud of my experience as a teacher and how valuable it has been as I endeavour to support teaching and learning in higher ed.

I went to see @thevaselines.bsky.social tonight in Galway and it was the kind of joy I sorely, sorely needed. Thank you Frances and Eugene for all you have given us. 💚

Spotted in the Roisín Dubh this evening, while taking nice break seeing @thevaselines.bsky.social.

Wilson’s is one of the loveliest school communities. It was the first school that I taught in when I moved home to Ireland and I will always fondly recall its quirky charm and warm welcome for all.
