    Keeping Your PKM Real Simple with RSS

    Bonni Stachowiak shares how to keep your Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM) real simple with RSS on episode 614 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Rather than get that overwhelmed feeling of how hard it’s going to be to keep up, I don’t have to, and neither do you. Enter RSS, Real Simple Syndication. -Bonni Stachowiak It’s pretty spectacular how, if somebody knows about RSS, and they’ve subscribed to a blog or a website, how you can find people that you have a lot in common with, and get going with your curiosity. -Bonni Stachowiak It’s amazing what happens when, before we start trying to lecture or share information,  we ask people to predict something. Even if they end up predicting incorrectly, there still is that connection where we’ve piqued their curiosity. -Bonni Stachowiak Resources Why Isn’t RSS More Popular By Now, by Bonni Stachowiak Real Simple Syndication, by Harold Jarche Inoreader Unread App The Indispensable Digital Research Tool I can Say, Without Lying, Saves Time, by Alan Levine (aka CogDog) RSS in Plain English, by Common Craft MiniRoll This Cozy Reading Life with Katie Linder The Transformers: Imagining the Future of the Teaching of Writing NASA Image of the Day McSweeney’s Internet Tendency Poll Everywhere

    Skepticism and Curiosity in the Age of AI, with Marc Watkins

    Marc Watkins shares about cultivating skepticism and curiosity in an age of AI on Episode 613 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I do think online education is going to be the focal point for this next year, and how it can survive with an agentic AI. My feeling is, we need to be offering students more embodied experiences and disembodied spaces. -Marc Watkins Every technology has its affordances and the things that are negative about it too; your cell phone, the computer, the fact we’re talking about this right now on the systems that we are using, cloud computing, that all has a cost. -Marc Watkins For an incoming freshman student in college to take 4 or 5 classes and have 4 or 5 very different AI policies, 4 or 5 very different understandings of what AI is, it is incredibly confusing. -Marc Watkins Resources Sesame Street: One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others) What We Give Up When We Let AI Decide: Automation Is Easy.

    Make Learning Visible with ePortfolios, with Lynn Meade

    Lynn Meade uncovers how to make learning visible with portfolios on episode 612 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast Quotes from the episode An ePortfolio is basically a curated collection of student work. It includes reflection, and it’s usually across the college experience. -Lynn Meade Anytime I teach portfolios, it’s really big that we talk about audience and purpose. Who is your audience and what is your purpose? -Lynn Meade There’s something particularly lovely about seeing student or faculty members’ written comments about my work. Both the critiques and those comments that build me up, and how very powerful they are, and how much they mean to me. -Lynn Meade It’s not about the tech. The most important thing is, am I writing? Am I able to think about myself? Am I able to reflect about myself? -Lynn Meade Resources Building a Professional Portfolio (OER Book) by Lynn Meade University of Arkansas Student Portfolios (portfolio.uark.edu) Award-Winning ePortfolios Highlight Student Talent and Career Readiness Fulbright College Team Outlines ePortfolio Initiative Multiple New U of A ePortfolio Resources Available for Students and Faculty Beyond a Resume, Part One: ePortfolios in Higher Ed (podcast) Beyond a Resume, Part Two: ePortfolios in Higher Ed (podcast) ePortfolios Overview (AAC&U ePortfolios Topic Page) Poll Everywhere Reese W. is Here to Boost My Writing Career, by John Warner The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns Nancy Duarte on LinkedIn Video on Box Breathing

    Danny Mann shares about fostering peace, joy, and community in teaching and leading on episode 611 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Great teaching, and I think great life, is this adaptive, responsive thing, pulling out the bugs or getting things back in balance. -Danny Mann Peace and joy are really interrelated, and I gravitated a lot towards these, as I spent time studying and practicing mindfulness practices. -Danny Mann If you discover your why, you could basically feel much more energized and joyful about what you do, if you align your life with that. -Danny Mann Giving students space to speak and share ups and downs.

    Sheila Tabanli shares ways to overcome the curse of expertise and other ways to be inclusive in our teaching on episode 608 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast Quotes from the episode “I suggest, sign up to a course that you have no idea, and then we’ll talk later.

    An E-Bike for the Mind: AI, Augmentation, and Moral Hazards with Josh Brake

    Josh Brake shares metaphors and other ethical considerations regarding AI on Episode 607 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode “When you’re moving fast, it’s really easy to do things unreflectively and to make a poor decision without even realizing it.” -Josh Brake “The special thing about bicycles, at least in their non-electronic versions, is that they’re totally human-powered. So it’s all based on the energy that you put in, and it’s just transforming that energy, to make you more efficient and be able to move faster.” -Josh Brake “When you have something like an E bike, that augmentation can be used in a variety of different ways, so it can be used to actually extend your capacity.” -Josh Brake “It’s really this question about what’s the intention that you’re bringing to the technology when you come to the tool, what are the questions that you’re asking? And fundamentally, it’s a question of purpose and intention. Why are you using this?” -Josh Brake Resources An E-Bike for the Mind: E-Bikes and What They Can Teach Us About AI, by Josh Brake I Grew Up Oblivious About Grades. It Ruined Me.
