Yesterday, I finished teaching an experimental, 7-week graduate-level class at @ITP_NYU called "Hello, Computer: Unconventional Uses of Voice Technology". The class was mostly technical (lots of Node!), but I thought I'd share some of the readings/listenings we discussed:
- The Difference by @qntm : qntm.org/difference
- Helpful Mom Voices by @reasonablysnd: reasonablysound.com/2018/02/27/hel…
- WOOOORRRRK! by @timgarbos timgarbos.itch.io/woooorrrrk (we played this together which was GREAT for making yr students scream in class)
- The next video-game controller is your voice by @chrisiptw: engadget.com/2017/06/23/voi…
- Chicken Scream by Perfect Tap Games: itunes.apple.com/us/app/chicken…
- various voice controlled games on @itchio: itch.io/games/input-vo…
- Sandra by @Gimletmedia: gimletmedia.com/sandra
- Upending the Uncanny Valley by @hansonrobotics: aaai.org/Papers/Worksho…
- The Future We Wanted by @leighalexander: medium.com/@leighalexande…
- Anatomy of an AI System by @katecrawford & @TheCreaturesLab: anatomyof.ai
Syllabus is here: nicolehe.github.io
Class code examples here: github.com/nicolehe/ITP-h…

The students blew me away with their subversive and deeply weird and extremely funny final projects!
It was a big privilege to get to teach people some of this weird stuff I've been learning myself over the last year, I had a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing more creative voice stuff in the world.

Also I decided to be very Extra and bring a cake to the last day

This was one of the best & most nuanced conversations I've ever had about #class & #poverty in America (& that intro!😭 Wow, thank you, @thebradking).

1 of the only podcasts I coulda talked abt the significance of po' white #RuthLangmore from @ozark wearing a #Tupac shirt.🔥🔥🔥
Wow - I forgot about all the cool stuff we discussed: state-level poverty programs, switching to a service-based economy in rural areas, the Case-Deaton white death paper, the liberal elite write-off of working class whites, white economic privilege, & class anger/resentment.
...specific ways for historians to get *real* history to average Americans, how to combat racism through class & labor issues, the pain & anguish of the "psychic death" of rural whites, & adapting a federal jobs program to the state level...

Teaching people to do serverless is hard. It's far less about teaching someone about FaaS and far more about getting people into the right mindset. It is not about technology, or at least, it's not about doing technology
Serverless is about understanding when *not* to create technology. Creating anything leads to technical debt. Not only is it about not creating technology, it's about leaving as little footprint as possible, to only run when needed.
Serverless is about removing complexity by allowing the services that others provide to provide the complexity for you. Doing so means that you accept and understand the constraint that places on you, and creating within that.

0/ Coming in HOT today with a thread devoted to a bunch of #crypto- and #blockchain-related events that took place over the past 24 hours or so. Here we go!
1/ ⛽️ I wasn't joking about that 'hot' thing, for @GetGitcoin have introduced Gas Price Heatmaps (gitcoin.co/gas/heatmap).

Assess the price vs. speed tradeoff vis-à-vis @ethereum gas. Super useful!

Many things might spring to mind when someone says the word assessment, so this thread aims to clarify that our Assessment Lead Programme is nothing to do with data drops or tracking systems but everything to do with using the craft of assessment to support teaching & learning

Yesterday, a rare joint session of both houses of @nassnigeria met and issued resolutions that has set it on a collision course with @AsoRock, and holds important political and economic consequences for #Nigeria as it stares down the barrel of #election2019.
The tension between the 2 most important arms of the FG, both controlled by @OfficialAPCNg, has endured through the tenure of @MBuhari's administration and is consequential for the party, for the wider political state of the country and in driving economic policy.
Federal lawmakers, in passing a vote of confidence in the principal officers of @NGRSenate and @HouseNGR, condemned the “systematic harassment and humiliation by @AsoRock of perceived political opponents, people with contrary opinions including legislators and the judiciary,”

I recently talked with graduate students in a seminar on #teaching practices in #HigherEducation about how to design and teach a course when you are not an expert on all of the content--which is really what most teaching is. Here are the main takeaways for those interested. 1/
In my experience, there are four main mistakes that novices often make when designing and teaching a course for the first time.

First, they approach the task by venturing off on their own into the wilderness of literature on all of the topics they don't know well. 2/
In other words, they prepare for course design as if it is a qualifying exam, attempting to become experts on all of the topics that the course will/should/must cover. 3/
