#Introduction time! Let's call it dragfyre 101.
I'm a (front-end) web dev, educator, blogger, dad, husband, Baha'i, and world citizen. I have deep thoughts about human nature and character, virtue #ethics, cooperation, #culture, #spirituality, #language, #education & #learning, #UX, #AI, #HCI, #Internet, and the interaction of all of the above. Google me and you'll find me on Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Wikipedia, etc. I try to do the right thing. No politics or drama plz, and keep it SFW kthx.
A new #introduction is needed for my #bots!

There're a lot more, but those are the main ones.
" More disconcerting is that when classes returned to mainly in-person in fall 2021, student performance did not bounce back. The problem isn’t only that students learn poorly online. It’s also that when they go through a year or more of remote classes, they develop habits that harm their ability to learn offline, too."
No, the didn't develop bad habits. This should tell you mode of delivery made no difference to learning outcomes so maybe it wasn't online learning that is the reason?

Over three weeks since the elonpocalypse and the local timeline on #MastodonSandwich is still popping. That's a nice feeling. 😎👍🏾
In other @xyzzy news, I removed a long-standing feature that was preventing it from understanding when people wanted to go "down".
I say it was a feature, not a bug, because it should be obvious to everyone I was only following the Rick Astley programming paradigm which states that the program should never let the user down. #bots #bugs #dadjokes

Have you discovered the "inventory" command that was added to @xyzzy a few weeks ago? Maybe when you try it, you'll find something interesting to use *this* week's newly-added command on...
(And no, it's not "use". Not yet, anyway.) #bots #rpg #retrogaming #interactivefiction
And this is how to teach: with an eloquent tongue, a ready pen, a goodly character, pleasing words, and righteous ways and deeds. #inspiration #quotes #bahai
Speaking of #bots, funny thing: I just realized that @pollbot was set as undiscoverable, which means it was probably hard for people to find its posts. 😅 that's fixed now.
I'm going to try and get it to post more regularly again soon, but I want to give it a wider selection of possible polls first. Definitely watch this space. #polls
