(73) Millennials Don't Exist! Adam Conover at Deep Shift - YouTube - 5 views

  •  
    Adam Conover, comedian, discusses the dangers of stereotyping generations. We can't describe all millennials because they are the most diverse people to date. He claims that history shows that older people always talk down to practices of the younger people... it is a trend that has been around for years. Our view of generations reflects our own prejudice and opinions as our lens that we see the world.
  •  
    I always love Adam Conover's videos. This was great. I think his commentary on generational views of technology. It relates with my article about rethinking how we study "screen time". I think educators can easily fall into generational stereotypes when targeting learners. Great find!
  •  
    Honestly don't know how no one laughed at that "baby boomer" joke but this was such a great video. Such an interesting point to note that we label this whole generation as one, but they truly are the most diverse when it comes to everything from background, culture, interests, etc! Thanks for sharing!

Adam Ruined My Research | Psychology Today - 5 views

  •  
    "Jean M Twenge Ph.D" discusses how research presented in Adam Conover's YouTube video "Millennials Don't Exist" was misrepresented and how she and Adam were later able to discuss their differing viewpoints rather than bash each other on social media as many would have.

    These two articles are great. She linked to another article in there "How do we know the millennial generation exists? Look at the data" that made me appreciate more how they study generational differences- they compare the results of surveys given to 18 year olds of different years. That does sound like a much more powerful way to measure generational differences. One of the examples was the change in opinion of same sex marriages between 18 year olds in 1976 and today, which made a giant leap in approval. I'm curious what a survey of those now 61 year olds feel about the same topic- if their approval also raised, while it would show a generational difference of opinion at a certain age, it might show a closer agreement between generations on certain topics in the here and now. I wonder how those 18 year olds in 1976 compared to people 43 years older then them, too! I liked her final optimistic take on discussing differing viewpoints. At the same time, I don't necessarily agree with her that all speakers (certainly some of the ones who were banned from speaking at universities) should be given a platform. While discussion is always good, it needs to be honest and faithful; I don't believe that some people are interested in discussion, they just want to win and prove themselves right.
  •  
    I wish more people could debate that way! I agree that not everyone wants to discuss- some just want to argue and be heard!
  •  
    Thanks for sharing! Twenge has had to defend a lot of her literature on generational studies. I read her iGen book before and the criticism she's received on that topic as well. Very interesting!

Can you copyright the content you make with generative AI? | Descript - 6 views

  • because you can’t predict exactly what a generative AI tool will create, you can’t copyright it.
  • The Copyright Office equated the text prompts to telling an artist about an idea you have for a painting, then trying to copyright the work after they paint it.
  • That makes sense if all you provided the artist was ideas, because ideas are not protectable and the painter did the creative work that gives them “authorship,”
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Lisa says she would’ve expected the Copyright Office to focus more on the nature of the inputs
  • how much human involvement does a creator have to exert over a machine to claim ownership of its output? 
  • This isn’t the first time the legal system has wrestled with that question. It first came up when cameras were invented; the argument then was that you couldn’t protect a photograph as your own, since the machine was the one capturing the image.
  • The Copyright Office, surprisingly, introduced this predictability standard instead.
  • He used the amusing analogy of Jackson Pollock, who made his art by flinging paint around and seeing what happened; nobody questioned his ability to copyright those works.
  • But in a more salient point for creators, the lawyer argued that the Copyright Office was “incorrectly focusing on the output of the tool rather than the input from the human.”
  • the best thing you can do is to be sure you’re employing as much human creativity in the process as possible.
  • This might mean writing prompts with as much detail as possible
  • A final note: as Lisa points out, the Copyright Office did indicate that if someone sufficiently modifies generated output, that could be protectable. So, If you’re using generative AI as a starting point — e.g., using ChatGPT to create a rough draft and then re-writing it for your own voice — be sure you document the changes you made before you try to file for copyright protection, and then explain it in the application.
  •  
    This is good information! AI has really opened up a lot of opportunities and resources, but it has also presented a lot of questions!
  •  
    This is good information regarding the use of generative AI. I concur with the author that AI-created information should be used as a starting point for developing instructional materials. It should not remove the instructional designer from the process. After all, they would be most knowledgeable about the instructional needs of their learners and the delivery methods available to them.

    Thanks for sharing this resource. It's super helpful for a project I'm working on right now.

SurveyMonkey: Free online survey software & questionnaire tool - 2 views

  •  
    Of course, this ridiculously easy to use free survey tool, which many are already familiar with, could be used to vote as well. I have used this on class projects and it just doesn't get any simplier. A must. Create and publish online surveys in minutes, and view results graphically and in real time. SurveyMonkey provides free online questionnaire and survey software.

    Just an FYI - all FSU students can use Qualtrics for surveys. FSU pays for it. Located under secure apps in Bb.
  •  
    I've used Survey Monkey several times for projects. I feel that that basic version (free) is limited. I prefer to use the survey generator that Vanessa is referring to. Thanks for sharing.
  •  
    What about Google Form? I never created any survey with SurveyMonkey, but worked with Google Form with my students, I always had a positive experience.
  •  
    I've used both, numerous times, and I have to say I think Qualtrics is a much better product with greater functionality. :)

    I love this tool. Great for teachers!
  •  
    Looks easy to use. Does this offer anything different than other polls/survey tools out there?
  •  
    I think the basic "free" features allow you just to poll one survey question at a time. What's really cool about it is that students can text their answers in. I am not familiar with it, but it is a great way to generate discussion within a classroom, blog, or website.

Social Media, Service, and the Perils of Scholarly Affect - Hybrid Pedagogy - 3 views

  •  
    Tagging because I want to read it, but thought some of you might be interested as well.
  •  
    Interesting piece. I've heard lots about the debate over scholarship versus service, and thought that Bessette's analogy to blogging as service was fascinating. Knowledge sharing may not be scholarship in the traditional sense, but it certainly plays an important role in pushing higher education forward, so maybe it should be considered a real part of a scholar's contributions to the field.
  •  
    I know some bloggers who are actively lobbying to consider their blogs as scholarship. Some have submitted archives as part of promotion dossiers. Generally, they're not at R1 universities -- although there are plenty of R1 scholars who see how blogging and other social media interactions can enhance their scholarship via promoting their work and building their networks. And many have also talked about the effect it has had on their writing. I think I'll blog about that sometime in the next week.

YouTube in the classroom - 3 views

  •  
    This article is long however it gives some great information about using YouTube in the classroom. It is divided up into a few chapters so not all of it needs to be consumed. In short it is a research study about how educators use the web2.0 tool YouTube. It talks about how we can integrate it in the class, features of the site, and how to use the site. It also highlights some of the problems that came up with usage during the study.
  •  
    Awesome! I love YouTube and I definitely utilize this tool A LOT in my high school English classroom. I enjoy how youtube also has the ability to focus on strictly educational materials. Visuals are so important for students to create concrete connections. Great artice!
  •  
    YouTube is my favorite video-based network. Videos are intrinsically motivating and engaging. I agree with the point in the article that the videos that are informative, humorous, current, interesting and engaging are most preferred by students, but instructors choose a video based on its instructional value, not simply due to its humorous content. The article entirely and detailly introduces the tool. Additionally, the following article is also a great material to learn YouTube. Duffy, P. (2007).

Billion Dollar Bully highlights why Yelp feels unfair. - 2 views

  •  
    The article extends beyond just discussing Yelp, to other community based internet knowledge platform sites like Wikipedia. Wikipedia is given a pass because it is nonprofit and has an active community dedicated to accuracy- review sites like Yelp and Google have financial considerations that possibly impact their ability to be totally impartial. Do you rely on online review sites? How much weight do you give them when making decisions?
  •  
    I am a heavy user of Tripadvisor when I plan vacations and read hundreds of reviews on lodging, restaurants, and attractions. While I'm quite sure some of the reviews are fake, some of them are obviously fake or are done by persons who seem to be very disgruntled with life in general. When I look at reviews I prefer those that include photos and plenty of details. I tend to ignore the ones that just say things like "I hated it" or "I loved it" as they offer no real value.
  •  
    This is such an interesting topic! I am not a heavy user of review sites but seeing this (https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/) makes me feel strange.

Categorising teachers' use of social media for their professional learning: A self-gene... - 8 views

  •  
    if you're off campus, you can access this article via the FSU library -- just log in there first.
  •  
    As I see the word 'categorizing' I just wanted to read the article. The author states that expert ICT teachers engage in social media activities in different ways based on their conceptualization of 'professional learning.' I think this article requires careful, slow reading. It is a little bit intense for me! :-)

A Google a Day in the classroom [video] - 4 views

  •  
    A Google a Day provides daily trivia, and can be a fun way to teach your students important online research skills.
  •  
    Hi Fabrizio, I just tried the Google a Day and I like the concept very much. However, unless I was doing something wrong, I found it cumbersome to do the research and get back to the original question. In addition, when I tried to access Google Map, which was needed for answering today's question, it said it would not support it in the Google a Day window. So I opend GM up in another window. Did you experience something similiar? With that being said, I think the idea is great, especially since they give you tips and hints at how to find the answer. I think researching tips and exercises are very important, even for graduate students. You can never get enough practice in researching topics. Thanks for sharing this, I really liked it.
  •  
    When I type a research on the search box it opens a pop-up window with the data, so I have two pages open, the A Google a Day one and the search one. I think it works pretty well on Chrome, I didn't have any problem, but I haven't tried it with other browsers. A Google a Day is fun and challenging; however, I don't think you can learn too much from your answers, they are too general. Maybe in the future there will be a way to customize it and create your own challenges, it would be really interesting to use with our students/learners.

Adverse Effects Associated with Protein Intake above the Recommended Dietary Allowance ... - 1 views

  • However, high protein diets (defined as an intake above the current RDA) are promoted intensively by the nutritional supplements industry and they are considered to be “the gold standard” by many athletes (especially bodybuilders) for muscle development and/or body fat loss.

  • On the other hand, several scientists claim that the overuse of protein supplements or high dietary protein intake could cause disorders to human health [1–7]. The aim of this review study is to determine the potential health dangers due to high protein/high meat intake obtained from diet or nutritional supplements based on the human studies existent in the literature.

      High protein potential danger to health
  • Extra protein is not used efficiently by the body and may impose a metabolic burden on the bones, kidneys, and liver. Moreover, high-protein/high-meat diets may also be associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease due to intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol or even cancer [

  • Diet which is high in protein generates a large amount of acid in body fluids [2]. The kidneys respond to this dietary acid challenge with net acid excretion, and, concurrently, the skeleton supplies buffer by active resorption of bone resulting in excessive calcium loss [2]. Moreover, acid loading directly inhibits renal calcium reabsorption leading to hypercalciuria in combination with the exorbitant bone loss

      High protein intake may lead to excessive bone loss.
  • igh levels of dietary protein, at least a portion of the increase in urinary calcium reflected increased bone resorption [1
  • There was a consistent increase in urinary calcium with the high-protein diet averaging 88% above control in the normals and 82% in the patients
  • An increase in urinary calcium excretion was found indicating that the animal protein-induced calciuric response could be a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis
  • An increase in vegetable protein intake and a decrease in animal protein intake may decrease bone loss and the risk of hip fracture [
  • Additionally, dietary excess (2 g/kg/day) in animal protein for 1 week led to significant changes in urinary calcium excretion rates
  • releases calcium to be excreted by the kidney. This protein-induced hypercalciuria could lead to the formation of calcium kidney stones
  • animal protein is also the major dietary source of purines, the precursors of uric acid. Excessive intake of animal protein is therefore associated with hyperuricosuria, a condition present in some uric acid stone formers [5]. Uric acid solubility is largely determined by the urinary pH. As the pH falls below 5.5 to 6.0, the solubility of uric acid decreases, and uric acid precipitates, even if hyperuricosuria is not present
  • animal protein-rich diet was associated with the highest excretion of undissociated uric acid due to the reduction in urinary pH
  • arian cancers. Thus, reducing red meat intake might lower the risk for several common neoplasms [26]. Moreover, highprotein/high meat diet could cause disorders of liver function and precipitated progression of coronary artery disease. Hyperalbuminemia and elevated transaminases have been associated with high-protein diet [27]. Individuals on high protein supplements developed intermittent abdominal pain, transient elevations in transaminases, and hyperalbuminemia without there being any identifiable cause.
