Get Flock off the streets and AI detection out of classrooms. Surveillance tech isn’t healthy for our communities or students.

This was an absolutely delightful conversation, thanks Chris for inviting me to join Books Up Close. A pleasure discussing “Re/Marks on Power” and my love of #annotation. Have a listen!

Inspired by @cjdenial.bsky.social and @remikalir.bsky.social , I'm going to have my students annotate my syllabi this year. Given the promising engagement it offers, I'm considering having all my assignments be annotated. Faculty who've done this, what worked and what didn't?

This from @remikalir.bsky.social et al. looks like a fascinating project to share w/ local colleagues & (especially) my teacher ed students. (ALL undergrads are interested, for a host of intersecting reasons! But in teacher ed they seem "meta-aware" as they worry about impact of #AI on K-12.)

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through. Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!

😡 Called it, sadly. As reported yesterday in the NYTimes, an annotated sign at Muir Woods National Monument has been censored and removed. Annotation isn't neutral. Nor are responses to notes of power. The annotated sign may be gone, but history won't change. www.readingremarks.com/remarks-on-r...

The book explores how digital platforms are remaking the study, teaching, and practice of literacy—and the implications for educational equity. What does it mean when the same platforms that enable powerful forms of networked reading/writing also enroll those literacies in extractive data regimes?

“Did your dad die?” our six-year old son asked me this morning. “No,” I replied, “But I don’t talk to him. He didn’t raise me. Who raised me?” “Grandma Wendy.” Father’s Day is becoming a bit more nuanced in our family and I don’t take it for granted that Ade and I can make sense of this together.
