This project has been a struggle. Predominantly from my mental health issues. I very much need direction. My decision fatigue is off the charts and while finally cracking open this Arduino kit has been fun and being back in school has been an interesting experience, I cannot wait to get back to 9-5 job where…
I had never considered annotations in any context outside of group projects for school or work. However, I am someone who has always been interested in meme-ology which very much seems to coincide with how Dr. Remi Kalir speaks about annotation. Memes dating all the way back to Philosoraptor have been community generated media connecting…
I simply cannot have lights turn off and on without thinking of this ridiculous bird. It has had a chokehold on me for well over a decade and I fear I will be quoting “Nighttime… DAYTIME” on my death bed. So of course, when I am building a device that checks whether the light is…
So one of the first projects in the Arduino kit list is building a light sensor. The kit comes with a variety of Sensors (which convert aspects of physical world into electronic impulses the Arduino can receive and then be interpreted by the loaded programming) and Actuators (which receive electrical impulses sent from the programming…
The subject of Generative AI gets me a little… heated. I was onboard early on since I’m very interested in automation tools and have always been interested in computer learning models. However. It took…what? Less that a decade to become a tool for fascist capitalists killing the planet and stealing from artists? I for one…
Cable Green‘s talk about Open Licensing and Open Educational Resources was particularly interesting to me once he started talking about open procurement. I work in procurement for a school district and I am very excited to present this idea to my district. I may try to reach out to Cable to see if he can…
I am surrounded by teachers. My mother was a kindergarten teacher for 30 years until “retiring” to a part-time elementary school librarian position who has her +15 (bonus teacher schooling but isn’t a Masters) that focused on technology in the classroom. My youngest sister is a high school social studies teacher. My partner is a…
This project continued to be my bane but I fought through! Here is a vlog about my experience setting up the Arduino interface and the many struggles I had getting the right drivers. For those interested:I used OBS for my sound recording and screen capture. OBS is a great tool for streaming or video recording…
Starting this inquiry has been incredibly overwhelming. Narrowing down my choices was daunting enough, but when I finally decided what I was going to work on (SharePoint) and why (because it will be helpful for my job), I was so overwhelmed by just how much information was out there that I couldn’t bring myself to…
I really and truly can’t tell you how I feel about Inquiry based learning. I LOVE learning new things but I can never keep myself on task. You would think traditional learning would help this but I HATE being told what to do and doing things on other people’s timelines. Unless they tell me EXACTLY…
