spencergreenhalgh.com posts digest for Apr 26 2024

Hello! Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter. You can also get these posts through RSS, Micro.blog, or Mastodon.

Here are long-form blog posts I published this week:

• falsifiability and Mormon apologetics

• in memory of a mentor

• assessment as proof of learning or as learning itself?

Here are microblog posts that I published this week:

• Kiddo had extra book fair money this morning, so she went back and bought her teacher a small book on a topic she knew her teacher likes 🥹

• For someone who is actively apathetic about professional and collegiate sports, I can get dangerously close to being that dad at kiddo’s soccer games.

• I reject surveillance culture in my teaching, which means I don’t ever make a systematic effort to check for evidence of cheating or plagiarism, which just means that the obvious evidence I find anyway just makes me all the more angry.

Here are news articles and podcasts I commented on this week:

• 🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'We Can, and We Must, Clown on the Humane AI Pin Forever'

• 🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Courageous LDS scholar whose life and writings exemplified — and expounded on — earthly struggles dies at 44 '

• 🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'How do you build without over polluting? That's the challenge of new Catan board game'
