Blogging during Zoom Call #RUN_EU

by Bernie Goldbach while on a Zoom Call in Clonmel.

I REVERTED TO FORM and started blogging during the four hours I spent on a Zoom call with 113 others who expressed an interested in learning more about how to successfully apply for research funding under RUN-EU. I saved my rough notes as part of this blog post (see link below) because I think it's important to establish open and distributed nodes of communications between researchers who are scattered throughout the EU.

Three Readwise Discoveries #knowledgemanagement

COULD I SHARE three quick discoveries I've made while using Readwise as a core tool of my personal knowledge management? I've learned some things that would help loyal readers who are knee deep into their PhD research.

First Week of Microblogging

I've finished my first week of microblogging after setting up clonmeldigital.micro.blog as a space we will develop with creative students on the Clonmel Digital Campus next semester. Using the microblog structure feels like blogging was in early 2000.

I STARTED EXPERIMENING with Veed.io on my Samsung Note 9 handset. Here are a few impressions concerning mobile content production, project templates, and workflow.

Planning to Hang Work inside Kunst Exhibiton

I WORK WITH a group of 43 university students who are finishing their fourth year in BSc Honours degrees. Some of their work will hang in a 3D virtual exhibition called "Piece and Projects".

The online project is a work in progress held in the Kunst Matrix that should be ready for public viewing before the end of June 2022.

Including Creatives with their IOTs in Web3 h/t @marccanter4real

I'M LEADING a group of creatives into the Land of Web3 and believe Marc Canter (snapped above on a Dublin street in 2006) reads the landscape correctly when he says Web3 cannot be about one technology or one way to do things or one tech stack. Web3 becomes mainstream when it is open, flexible, and inclusive.

Help Us Get Graduates Ready

AS WE APPROACH 2022, I'm watching Honours Degree students develop systems, programs, and research that can predict trends for the rest of the 2020s. What do you think will be on the immediate horizon? If you have an opinion, we have a survey that would take less than three minutes to complete.

Planning to iterate CMD at TUS-Clonmel

Launch me

Based on feedback from a survey creative media graduates, staff on the TUS-Clonmel campus are reviewing the Creative Media Design (CMD) degree. One future iteration of the programme could result in three clearly defined elective streams that would start no later than the fifth semester. One stream would be for web development. One stream would teach UX. And the third stream would give graduates strong expertise in digital marketing. If you have time, please take a three minute survey by clicking the hyperlink or by tapping the blue Launch Me button above. You will be helping to support our planned revisions.

Using Microsoft Teams for Big and Private

AS THE IRISH GOVERNMENT mulls over options to control an unexpected fourth wave of COVID-19, I'm auditing the technology I use that enables me to work from home. Near the top of the list is Microsoft Teams because of its ability to manage both large groups and private meetings.

Habits to Expand Personal Knowledge Management

I STARTED this blog post because I wanted to offload a bubbling mass of information about the atomic habits I've developed in support of effective personal knowledge management (PKM). Then I paused in mid-sentence to for my daily review with my Readwise app.

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." That's one of the takeaways I've learned from James Clear.
