Moving to Obsidian

By Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

AS I RAMP UP teaching materials for a module I'm teaching about digital transformation, I've decided to migrate my Personal Knowledge Management process from Notion and Roam Research to Obsidian. I'm migrating because I believe I can teach principles of Zettelkasten and PKM with a series of hands-on tutorials that students complete with their own instances of Obsidian.

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.

Still Learning How Young People Think

by Bernie Goldbach in Clonmel

I SHOULD BE well able to maneuver through twists and turns associated with parenting. But sometimes I wonder if I've ever learned from the young people in my life.

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.

We Need Special Spaces

TEN YEARS AGO, I watched a collection of artwork emerge as pre-teens sketched out their special spaces. Today, I listened to university staff lament the scarcity of spaces for creative students.

Creatives need spaces to create.

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.

Nice Hearing Lively Streets in Cork

WE DROPPED INTO the centre of Cork for some shopping and a family meal. The big feature I noticed was the lively conversations in Cork-speak and busking by young Irish--two facets of Cork we missed while locked down by COVID.

A Community Using Audio Glue

I'm working with conversational glue at the end of June 2021. I made an audio clip while reflecting on things I've done that are going to stay with me long after the annual audiomo challenge passes into the next year.

Listen to "I Enjoyed The Conversational Glue #audiomo E568" on Spreaker.

The most import thing I learned in this 11th year of audiomo is that there are dimensions of communications that are more constructive when they have a community building dynamic. In this case, the self-organising community of audiomo binds together by a conversational glue.

Journaling with Speech Bubbles and Keyboard Entries

I TEACH JOURNALING to Media Writing students and for the next three years I plan to enhance that creative process with a few specific tips. One is to require a double spread page of speech bubbles and another task is to show a page that emerges from text input on a keyboard. I believe the Media Writing Journals I will review will have greater creative content at the end of the semester.

Planning to Explore Identity with Creatives h/t @clonmeljunction

THE CONCEPT OF IDENTITY enjoys deep coverage in several creative media programmes I teach. During the 2020-21 time frame, I hope to connect several facets of identity to both the academic programme on the Clonmel Digital Campus and to the 2021 Clonmel Junction Arts Festival.
