A bit reminiscent, but of a different historical period than the index card idea.

Good morning #HeyPresstoConf20!

I’ll briefly show how I use my #WordPress website as an evolution of the Renaissance era commonplace book. This now often goes by the other names #wiki, #digitalgarden, #secondbrain, or #zettelkasten.

boffosocko.com/2020/09/24/557… Commonplaces are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, proverbs, prayers, formulas. Commonplaces are used by readers, writers, students, & scholars as an aide-mémoire for concepts/facts.

Last year I thought it would be fun to outline how people might use their #WordPress websites to actively participate in #PressEdConf20 by posting content on their WordPress website and syndicating copies to Twitter for those following that way.
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557… My general thought was:
The only thing better than A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference on Twitter would be A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference using WordPress itself!
