Do you have so many things to do that you have to write them down?

Do you have a (possibly unreasonable) fondness for Markdown?

Are you thinking could be useful for you?

If you've answered "yes" so far, it sounds like we're nerds of a feather. Hey friend! Here's a note I wrote about how I use the Tasks plugin: https://www.ryanpatrickrandall.com/notes/Note-taking/Obsidian/obsidian-tasks-plugin-patterns

Hopefully it either helps you use the Tasks plugin OR saves you time by helping you figure out what isn't an approach that would work for you!

Edit: Just updated the examples to properly display the {{query.file.filename}} code. (My website hid the curly braces and everything in between because that pattern looks like Liquid code to a Jekyll-based site.)

(1/2) This relatively small brisket cut (from “ButcherBox”) should be ideal for just Shelly and I tomorrow, for our Sunday dinner! All prepped with my standard yellow mustard binder and 50-50 salt and pepper rub.

Texas style brisket: It doesn’t get any better than this. Will be putting it on the smoker at 225° before I go to bed tonight, then wrapping in foil (at approximately 165°) in the morning to finish the cook up to 205° internal temp.

Proud to introduce my new activitypub project: https://bird.makeup . Do you wish to follow on mastodon some people that are still on the bird site? Now you can! You can even follow the muskrat if you want @elonmusk (but why would you?)

@vincent @elonmusk You created a replica account on Mastodon of our podcast without permission: https://mastodon.cloud/@edtechsr@bird.makeup

We already have a Mastodon channel up and running: https://mastodon.education/@edtechsr

Can you please take down / remove the unauthorized account / channel? Thanks.

@ct_bergstrom I recommend ignoring vitriolic drivel like that message & not giving it oxygen. We do need to be aware of the darkness in the world, but we need to be careful not to over-amplify it in our quest to fill our lives with more messages reflecting kindness / "the good" rather than evil. This is a difficult line to walk when it comes to media literacy education, I think.

Ideas via Jevin West @jevinwest

Using the term “curiosity” as a term which unites us / researchers, rather than polarizes us like terms like “fake news” or even “disinformation”

LATERAL READING is a key skill to encourage and teach, we know from research this WORKS
Also “pre-bunking” (saying “these are the kinds of memes / tropes you are likely to see…”)

@wfryer@mastodon.cloud avatar

Considering the challenges presented by AI / ChatGPT…

wfryer,
@wfryer@mastodon.cloud avatar

My thought: HYPERLINKED WRITING! We need students to regularly engage in LATERAL READING & then include their hyperlinks to other sources about that source / additional sources.

Also: We need more databases of actual election-related advertisements used on Facebook and other social media platforms to use in comparative lessons / case studies. Jevin West @jevinwest referenced NYU Ad Observatory https://adobservatory.org/ which resulted in litigation from Facebook.

The Media Education Lab @MediaEdLab (Renee Hobbs @reneehobbs) has a good database of propaganda examples: https://propaganda.mediaeducationlab.com/browse

1 way now to check for ChatGPT resources: Ask students to provide their sources, then verify those sources (hyperlinks)

Check for article “DOIs” (Digital Object Identifier) if they are correct or not.
https://ask.library.uic.edu/faq/345899

ChatGPT is making up information in the text AS WELL AS actual sources ALL THE TIME.

Shifting to more oral-based, in-class assessments. Making sure students can explain ideas / explain their learning.
