iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

As a middle school teacher lacking systemic support, I see the oversight in helping gifted ND students because they (mainly) excel academically. My principal gets it but there's only so much she can do. People overlook the real issue: these kids need support beyond academics (I was THAT kid once!).

eucap.eu/2024/04/02/a... A nicely clear statement by EUCAP (European Council of Autistic People), about ABA - and the deep concerns. "The majority of the 620 survey respondents from Europe were strongly against the use of ABA and ABA-based methods with autistic people."

Jonathan Harker's first clue that all would not be well at Castle Dracula should have been that Dracula signs off the same way a 7-year-old signs their letter to Santa.

End of Dracula's first letter to Jonathan Harker: "Your friend, Dracula."

Once swindlers were isolated loners whose greatest weapon was their ability to remain unseen but now they are celebrities in their own right, admired for their skill in exploiting a system we've come to accept as irredeemably corrupt. Tom Ripley was simply ahead of his time.

Re-evaluating GPT-4’s bar exam performance - Artificial Intelligence and Law

Eric Martínez's article finds GPT-4's bar exam performance, particularly in essays, overestimated beyond its claimed 90th %ile. The study urges law schools to prioritize technology and AI edu underscoring their importance in the evolving legal field, yet not fully integrated into legal academia.

One of the things people don't want to talk about is that the real way to fight the chatbot problem in academia is to reduce class sizes and hire fulltime faculty. When it's adjuncts running massive classrooms with no support, it's going to inevitably lead to students and faculty cutting corners...

This text sadly resonates with the teaching profession where passion is often exploited to justify overwork, underpayment, and neglect of mental health. Teachers, loving their work, face these challenges daily.

The thing almost nobody in psych told me, and that everyone who has ADHD did, is that ADHD does not mean “cannot focus”: it means “cannot regulate focus.”

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

At 45 Josephine Cochran whipped up the dishwasher and outsmarted gender biases by using the name J.G. Cochran. Yep, she was masking but her genius shows us something big: we're at our best, most creative selves when we're free to just be us, no hiding.

Sorry for asking but a photo says children under 12 may not be unattended in a library. Growing up libraries were my haven. Given the patriarchal Balkan norms, had I waited for my mom, busy with work and then drowning in household chores, I'd have missed out on the wonder of reading. Why this rule?

Classrooms need tailored methods, teacher training, emphasizing diversity. Adding universal design, like varied ways of presenting info and assessing knowledge, enhances inclusivity. No formula ensures systemic educational reform; such approaches are bound to fail without deeper, systemic changes.

WOW! Neglecting the humanities risks undermining the entire structure of academia.

Heartbreakingly sad... This story tears into the cruelty of societal judgment, serving as a brutal wake-up call. Let's make it a turning point for greater empathy and kindness in our world.

From where I'm sitting, halfway around the world, it's wild that in 2024 we're cheering because books won't be banned. Seriously?! This is where we're at? Props to Maryland for standing up to keep books accessible. But doesn't it shake you awake? Makes you wonder what's next and how we got here.

Over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills were considered in state legislatures in 2023, with 84 passed. Tamara's move for Grey's safety echoes a stark reality: "Austria felt safe in WWII too." The fight for the safety and acceptance of LGBTQ youth knows no borders and demands constant vigilance and solidarity.

That's fascinating! I love the cultural nuances in language.

Film mi djeluje kao da je time machine za dušu, vrijeme kad su VHS kazete bile vrh tehnologije, a prava emocija se nije streamala nego doživljavala uživo. Očekujem da će biti kao dobri stari vinil A. Dedića: nešto što se s nostalgijom vrti na gramofonu jer su neke priče vrijedne ponovnog slušanja.

Ferguson's 2024 article highlights the complex interplay of digital interactions and individual differences. Particularly intriguing is the differentiation in how NT and ND individuals navigate online spaces, suggesting a one-size-fits-all approach to digital well-being might be overly simplistic.
