the managerial urge to force employees to stand all shift for jobs that do not actually require it is both a sign of low character and an objectively poor business decision

Command Line can feel intimidating to those of us brought up on Windows, Mac, and Android graphical UIs. But as @walshbr.bsky.social eloquently reminds us, it is like learning to play a new instrument. Start simple, practice, repeat, scaffold, narrate, paraphrase, and celebrate progress.

This week I'm talking with faculty here about "low-tech" teaching methods in college courses. Does anyone have any article recs with data or evidence-based arguments for certain low-tech teaching practices? I have some but I'm curious how other folks have made this case in SoTL or SoTL-adjacent ways

Interesting part of living with a text for a long while is that you still find yourself thinking "oh I should really change X in the conclusion to be Y" even though the thing is out and published and people are publicly reading it online.

💯 “It is not enough to challenge the embedded pedagogies of neutrality at work in higher education. We must match our grassroots pedagogical value systems with efforts to change the very economies of academic labor and value at work at the university.” Be still, my beating heart.

Come for the digital humanities, stay for the excellent analysis of higher ed today: “Even as it might seek to be inclusive, institutional neutrality cannot form the basis of a durable community.”

Whoa - so well-said: “the neutral classroom is perhaps better understood as a defenseless classroom. Without a core set of beliefs and ideologies to hold onto, spaces of teaching and learning are all too easily disciplined and made to conform to political agendas”

One of the central images in the book is a set of bolted desks in a classroom I had class in as a student. By pure coincidence I am teaching in the same building this semester. No bolts now, but this particular room has a few very heavy tables we have to drag around.

Loving the story about seeing the bolted desks in the classroom. What a metaphor! Makes me think of chained Medieval manuscripts and how the spatial organization of classrooms in Medieval universities reinforced hierarchies of knowledge.
