Hello World
I used to blog fairly frequently, but due to a number of issues I started to lag and then there was an issue with my self-hosted blog where I ended up losing everything. C'est la vie.
Back At It
I'm motivated to get back into blogging again for a number of reasons:
- I started reading blogs again, my jumping off point being Stephen Downes OLDaily.
- Through that reading, I was seeing a number of the folks dusting off blogs that had been neglected - there was a desire to have the deeper conversations that are possible in the comments section of a blog.
- ChatGTP - like so many people I was fascinated with the release of ChatGTP and the implications for education. There are so many interested conversation and things to unpack.
- Mastodon - I've had a Twitter account for quite some time (@clthompson), but haven't actively tweeted for a long time. I was curious about Mastodon so over the break I set up an account mstdn.ca (I'm @cthompson@mstdn.ca). As I've gradually found more and more people to follow I'm discovering great conversations. I'm hoping that blogging will help me work through the ideas I'm reading about.
