Thanks for sharing this Aaron, it looks as it it will be great. Amazing lineup. Subscribed.
Microsoft Thinks You’ve Been Missing Your Commute in Lockdown – WSJ
Teams’ morning commute experience hasn’t been finalized, but will involve asking users to write a short list of things they want to accomplish that day, Ms. Janardhan said. It also will ask how users are feeling before they start work. If they say they are feeling overwhelmed, the virtual commute assistant will ask if they want to block time off in their calendars to focus on work or de-stress.
John Naughton though this was a spoof.
I’d love to block out some time in my calendar to de-stress but I don’t think this one is aimed at a school day.
The last thing I want to do in a commute (real or virtual) is “write a short list of things I want to accomplish that day”.
I’ve spent the best part of 40 years commuting in one way or another, mostly on trains and latterly by car, so I have experience.
Driving to work I listen to the radio, or podcasts or music. I keep an eye out for the seasons, nature & roadkill. I think, let my mind drift. I might write, in my head, a haiku.
Occasionally I might think about school if I realise the days plan is flawed, or I worry about need to get something done. Wondering how I’ll manage that between 20 to eight and the bell at nine.
I might have a great idea or notion about something I could teach, and work out how to fit it in.
I do not want to systematically want to go through the day taking more time up with routine or timetables, I want this slack time for myself & serendipity. If I am locked down again, or get into a position where I work from home, I’d rather manage my transition from breakfast to work without a piece of software asking me questions.

A GPT-3 bot went a week interacting with people on Reddit before it was outed as a machine. Most of its comments were harmless, but it also engaged with conspiracy theories and sensitive topics, including suicide.

EU Code Week 2020 – Quick Start to Coding with Swift Looks great Steve.
Watched: The Perfect Candidate ★★★★☆ enjoyed this there is not a lot of excitement, no big drama but lots of insight and things to think about, not least the strangeness of Saudi Arabia.
Bryan Mathers (@BryanMMathers). If you've ever had the chance to look at the stickers tattooed on an educational technologist's laptop, chances are you've come across some of Bryan's @visualthinkery. In this episode, we chat about how words going into Bryan's ear turns to art coming out of his stylus.
Enjoyed listening to Terry Greene @greeneterry, interview @BryanMMathers about his visual work in education and other areas. Bryan’s working methods sound very relaxed, love the remix riffs.

the assumption that everything can be broken down into a sequence that can (and should) be learned by people in the same order. I just think, for me at least, learning doesn’t work like that.
Learning does not work for me like that either Doug, serendipity, excitement, rabbit holes & fascination are usually the drivers for me.
something kicks in
& then I am lost in it. I often believe this will change lots of things and emerge blinking to reality.
