closing keynote for Education After the Algorithm - @edtechie.bsky.social teaching us the algorithm (kinda) of metaphors, replete with warnings
a white man with white hair and a black coat stands in front of a slide titled “how metaphors work” with a circle reading “source domain” on top and characteristics 1-4 inside, then arrows under the word “mapping,” then a square with “target domain” on top and characteristics 1 & 4 inside

Okay, I finally get the NotebookLM podcast craze. It really can be an appealing way to start thinking about documents. I gave it two OER textbooks and asked for the "podcasters" to reflect on the difference in their personalities. Not bad. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/648...
