Thank you @meg_enriquez for editing this and it is indeed a very accurate representation of what I would be presenting on if I could

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

A confronting but always relevant discussion with @dannydotliu , Ryan Cox, and Susan Thomas about Education and AI and specifically how we deal with it in FASS

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

Once a year I consider pivoting away from my current job and research and going back to my performance roots and today is that day

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

Once again I’m at a symposium (the FASS teaching symposium) and thinking about the value of performance studies

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

Another great validation of “Smiley face away” - gonna continue to use smiley faces now because it’s cute and the evidence shows it works to build connections ☺️#ascilite22

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

Thank you for bringing up the idea of Intellectual Candour @DrSamNewell! Nothing breaks the ice better than when I tell my first year English students that I was strongly encouraged to drop ext English in HS because I sucked so bad at poetry analysis #ascilite22

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

and while my full English name is not the same as hers - every win I share I share with her and carry her name with me. We will always be big Σμάρω Smaro and little Σμαράγδα Smaragda)

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

Keynote @pfeltenNC showing a photo of his family as a way to humanise ourselves to our students. He talked about how he was named for his grandfather in the photo and publishes under his name to share the experience with him. #ascilite22

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

This hits a little too close to home. I was also named after my now late grandmother who came to Australia not knowing anyone, not knowing the language, never having finished school

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]

feeling called out by the cards I picked about learning design as they represent me a little too well. I do think of my teaching as a cabaret theatre performance 🎭 ✨ #ascilite22

[Dr Samantha @sampoulos]
