A good way to end the year, I’m officially over 1000 citations now on Google Scholar! ;)

@DrJoannaT @DawnGilmore9 I will note there is an A, an S, and an S there though. ;)

@DrJoannaT @DawnGilmore9 Can’t throw out rude words to the Chair of the accords panel! :)

@phillipdawson The shortcut TC is taking is assuming someone who’s appointed as an academic is a recognised expert in their space (p.s. the media does this too!). So I’d want to reframe your Q to consider whether academics equals expert, or if some other measure’s better? And if so, what is it?

Thanks @AmandaRebar, there were a lot of pen and paper note takers! But I’ll take it, as long as they were learning. :)

Are you our next Senior or Associate Editor? We have a few vacancies for roles commencing 1 July 2023. More details and specifics on the URL or Tweet EIC @JoeyCrawf https://t.co/guvKeB779h

[Michael A. Cowling - Professor Tech @macowling]

@PhTaheri @gamerlearner Some institutions have discipline focused and education focused scholars, which goes in this direction. I think ultimately we all want to do a little of both (I think), but I do think there is room in the academy for more specialisation.

@jsnell I do wish Apple would enter this market. I went the other direction to you (Google to Amazon) back when Alexa added Apple Music, so I still have both in the house, but I don’t love either. Meanwhile I like my HomePod Mini a lot now, but it doesn’t have a screen. Help me @Apple?!?

[Michael A. Cowling - Professor Tech @macowling]

You're welcome @chugh_ritesh, was a great session, and I think I heard jaws hit the floor (over Zoom!) with some of the #ChatGPT demos you did making lesson plans & rubrics! And based on the many requests I've got for recordings, I suspect your 2nd might turn into a 1st soon. ;)

[Dr ���𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙝 @chugh_ritesh]

I just delivered a presentation to my CQUniversity colleagues on understanding and leveraging the power of #ChatGPT . Thank you, @macowling, for the invitation.

[Michael A. Cowling - Professor Tech @macowling]

Really looking forward to this visit! :)

So ahead of my trip to UNSW for my visiting teaching fellowship (starting Monday!), I found this video of the man who shares my name - also coincidentally at UNSW - doing a cute little role play bit for their mathematics department (starts at 13m 12s). ;)

@plredmond @BJETEds @PhysiologyWith @unisqaus Woo, well done Petrea and Christian and Charlotte and Zane! Great job. :)

[Michael A. Cowling - Professor Tech @macowling]

Super excited this morning to speak at our regional teacher & principal focused @CQU Campus Forum for 2023 as a guest speaker.

Thanks to Talita Raglus for asking me to be involved, & my sister-in-law Michelle (a NSW teacher) for sending a pic of my 15s of fame in her inbox! :)

[Michael A. Cowling - Professor Tech @macowling]

Fascinating! My student Max sent me this on the error Google’s new AI Bard made (in an ad of all places!) when asked for facts. A good reminder that with these tools you clearly need to be cautious for “fake news”, & an AI still can’t replace an expert.
