@littletivor Isn't it amazing what small acts of art can do to change your mood? @Curator

Nice to hear my 16 yo's classic rock in the background while watching @Curator welcome an influx on new & returning folks. It is a good evening.

I'm writing a paper and find myself trying to explain awarding $10 million to the company that can best improve basic literacy among poor Tanzanian kids using tablets is not a good thing.

Struggling more than I should be. Wondering if anyone can share any links/ references to writing (preferably academic, but not fussy) about risks of behavioural, neoliberal, colonial approaches to education/ technology (beyond Audrey Watters)?

Maybe my brain is just broken, but any help is appreciated.

I’m on my deck under the neighbour’s oak tree. I have a difficult relationship with this tree. When I moved in in the fall, I raked its leaves. Everyday I sweep its dropping off my deck. Even as I sit here, it every now & then threatens me with an acorn travelling at high speed.

But today, with the temperature headed to 32 degrees, I sit comfortably in its shade, listening to birds that I can’t see but know are in its branches. Today, I love this tree. #smallstories
