Inside View

Throwback to the Accessible @vipodcasting

by Bernie Goldbach in Thurles, site of #ictedu23

MY PHOTO COLLECTIONS notify me once a day to review images and videos I've uploaded over the past 21 years. Today I remembered Paul Hopkins, the visually impaired podcaster (@vipodasting) who taught me life lessons about accessibility.

End of Semester Password Changes with help of @vyond

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

IT IS GOOD PRACTICE to frequently change passwords and I'm publishing this blog post because I know some of my most loyal students read my blog more than they read my Insta.

I'm also trying to see if Microsoft Stream lets me play the Vyond video clip without imposing a major log-in burden.

And I'm proving to Claire Murray that I can step up to her challenge while attempting to (1) create a character library, (2) use motion path tracing, and (3) challenge the microphone array on the Microsoft Surface Book to produce high quality audio on the fly.

Technology and Education and Me #ictedu

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel with Rode, Otter.ai, and Surface Book.

I TAKE INVENTORY of my teaching and learning every May as we prepare the annual ICT in Education Conference. This year's theme, Reshaping Education, has me thinking about my personal teaching practice.

TL/DR; I read my own transcripts more.

Developing my own system with the Traveler's Notebook

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

I STARTED USING the Traveler's Notebook on February 9, 2023 after watching at least five hours of YouTube videos created by people who shared their power tips with their notebooks. I still have a sizeable collection of hardback Moleskines that will anchor an important collection in 2025.

Rebooting the Art of Contemporaneous Note-Taking

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, I carried a Moleskine Journalist notebook everywhere to scribble down important ideas and to save clippings related to emerging technology. Today I'm using a Traveler's Notebook with thinner paper, accompanied by a Rode mic that I use to record lectures with creative media students. I'm reviewing best practice recommendations about contemporaneous note-taking by borrowing ideas I heard expressed by James Comey after he was fired by Donald Trump.

Appreciating the Focus of Minimalist iA Writer

By Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

I’M TRYING TO reboot writing on my iPad Mini so I’m creating a short blog post by typing thoughts on a Brydge Mini keyboard. I plan to select all the words, paste them into a Typepad editing screen, and then posting the result.

Measuring Influence by Showing Skills

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

WE TEACH the concept of personal influence in a digital literacies module for the Technological University of the Shannon. I peel back the concept of "influence" until I reach the layer of "skills" because to have influence you need to have skills worth showcasing.

Starting to chat with my tabbed AI

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

I'M LETTING ChatGPT work away in one of my Chrome browser tabs. I value its conversational responses to questions I raise and I respect it more for the context it offers as part of its responses. Because of the length of its answers, I've moved around some money. I reckon I'm $17 ahead each month because of advice the AI gave me.

Activating Artists with Social

by Bernie Goldbachin Stradbally

I AUDIT MY SOCIAL annually and in early 2023 I'm joining a group of aritsts in County Laois to get their appraisal of how I create and share online.
