Hi @yoli
This is a great idea. As you pointed out in your report, oral storytelling can add another layer to a visual or physical object. Hearing someone’s voice explain or share what the photo conveys can be more meaningful and emotional, and carry even more power than the photo or object itself. I also like the fact you pointed out some…Read more

@yoli Wow wow wow! Your inspiration report design is STUNNING! I love your slide design and all the colors. Your idea for “Memory Mobile” is truly so important! What a great way to continue to tell stories and such an important way to retain a piece of history.

Hi @yoli ! I don’t think I’ve seen your blog before, and that’s sad because I absolutely love how bright and colorful it is! I love that you carried that over into your symposium post too! It definitely stood out, and I just had to click on it. I thought it was really cool how you approached this assignment by doing a summary/key takeaway of the m…Read more

@yoli
Hi Yoli, I really appreciated your post on AI and its limitations, and how it can be used for unkind purposes. The point you make about ChatGPT not being transparent about where it gets its information is an important point. I agree that librarians supporting patrons in the pursuit of accurate knowledge is how libraries and library staff…Read more

@yoli ” Unerringly, he points to the loneliness epidemic and the crippling era of misinformation we live in.” These are absolutely serious issues that should be addressed. Libraries can play a role for sure, but also social services agencies, etc as well.

@yoli I agree with @mylifeastori — I appreciate you highlighting the Wikipedia panic. And I recall vividly in my first teaching job being in a crowded classroom and talking about Wikipedia, and one student raising her hand and saying, no way should we ever use Wikipedia. We should stay far away from it. And that is such a similar argument that…Read more

Thank you, @yoli! You’re so right about some people coming into community meetings ready for an argument. Especially in smaller towns where people might be used to debating and making their points in potentially contentious town meetings, I feel like this kind of program could offer an alternate approach to connecting with one’s neighbors!

@yoli I appreciate how you connected the Wikipedia panic to today’s anxieties around AI. I agree that people often jump straight to the extreme scenarios instead of looking at the real, nuanced impacts, both the risks and the possibilities. I also love your optimism about empowering students to find their own voice. Your ending statement that “AI…Read more

@yoli, I really like your idea of a chapter a day book club. So many of the older classics are so long that they are overwhelming, so I can see this being a great attention grab for people who think they don’t have time to read. I also like the idea of an ongoing online discussion. I would be so interested in participating in that. If I read a b…Read more

@yoli, thank you, I’ve learned that reading is powerful and that I should not be ashamed of being a book nerd! 😀 The challenge of reading in my native language is time-consuming but so worth it, and I’m happy exploring different authors.

@yoli This: “We live in a highly digital society, and I cannot envision a future during which we would go backwards.” I agree with you. It will not happen. I also appreciate you pulling in West and her words immediately after this sentence. If anything, we should keep momentum going for making sure that everyone has access to the information rich…Read more
