Educators. Some of us may have struggles with phones and AI in our classes but camera glasses take it to a different level. Beyond behaviour and academic integrity, it's about privacy and safety in and out of the classroom. District leaders need to be on top of handling this, cuz the kids will be.

When the Camera Is on Their Face: Why Low-Cost Camera Glasses Should Be on Every School’s Radar This Fall

What happens when a camera no longer needs to be pulled from a student’s pocket because it’s already sitting on their face? Camera-equipped glasses that once cost hundreds of dollars are now appearing...

Planning to submit a poster presentation proposal to 2027 @asianstudies.org Conference. This will be my first time writing a conference proposal. I am a K-12 Asian Studies educator not doing any formal academic work so I guess I am really an independent scholar right now. Any tips or suggestions?

Really appreciate this discussion about grading philosophy over on @teacher2teacher.bsky.social (though I'll admit: part of my philosophy is that it's important to be aware that grades mean something different pretty much everywhere you look right now!) www.edutopia.org/teacher2teac...

What's your actual grading philosophy? I've been rethinking mine after 12 years.

After twelve years of teaching, my breaking point arrived when a student glanced at an essay I’d spent twenty minutes feedbacking, checked the C-minus in the corner, and tossed it straight into the re...

Final report card time. Feels like I am consciously avoiding giving out 67% for some reason.

Such a great resource just in time for AAPI Heritage Month: www.foundationsandfutures.org

UCLA just launched a massive AAPI textbook for the TikTok generation. And it's free

The digital project aims to bring overlooked histories to a TikTok generation.

Sad to hear the passing Bobby Cox. While most remember him with the Braves, Bobby played a key role in the Blue Jays history by bringing a winning attitude and developing the key players of the mid 1980s teams, including 99 wins in 1985. RIP and thanks for the memories. #BlueJays

Vancouver Canucks fans, will they come through and get one of the first two picks in the draft lottery? Fingers crossed...

As Will Klein comes in for Dodgers, he was seen as a hero going 4 scoreless during that epic WS game 3. By that point half of our lineup was the bench, including Straw, IKF, and Heineman. Few people mention Eric Lauer went 4 2/3 scoreless against full LA line-up. But Jays lost so be it. #BlueJays

Alejandro Kirk is the one position player the Blue Jays can least afford to lose, even more than Vladdy because of the position he plays. Wish him a quick recovery. The other guys need to step up big time. Look forward to seeing what the young catcher Valenzuela can do. #BlueJays

Almost some tears of joy and I watched this. So happy for Buck Martinez and all the fans who have advocated for this. We'll.done Blue Jays! I look forward to attending a game in Toronto just to check out this new Hall of Excellence!

As part of the Blue Jays’ 50th season celebration, they’re opening a new Hall of Excellence on the 100L concourse at Rogers Centre. It’ll open in August & include the 11 members of the Level of Excellence, which will be replaced by the hall. Buck Martinez goes in on Aug 29

I am really curious about the #BlueJays bench. Obviously answer seems to be Heineman, Schneider, Lukes, and Straw. Except we would be really thin in middle infield especially at shortstop. That is a lot of pressure on Clement and Gimenez.

Currently teaching grade 12 Intro to Asian Studies course from 1850 to present in Canada. No textbook, academic readings might be a reach. If any suggestions of useful resources or ideas in your 1st yr college survey class, I am all open ears.

Wrapping up #AAS2026 with terrific art work in the Coast Salish Gallery at Vancouver Convention Centre. Great experience attending for first time and making some connections. Look forward to presenting during my next time at the conference. Thanks to all those who helped organize the event.

A good first night at #AAS2026. Look forward to meeting more folks over the next few days. If anyone is interested or have ideas on raising the profile of Asian Studies in secondary school settings in North America, I'd especially love to connect. Have a great night everyone!

Coming to Vancouver for #AAS2026? If travelling light, I highly recommend taking the Skytrain directly from YVR airport to conference site (and nearby hotels). Only $10 CAD, clean, comfortable. Takes only 30 mins and way cheaper than taxi or Uber. 2 zone fare, get off at last stop, 5 min walk.

As a teacher we expect support and empathy from our administrators. Most admin I have worked with try their best to support. From time to time we can reciprocate too. Sometimes we have no idea the problems that they have to deal with beyond our classroom. They are humans too.

On this International Women's Day celebrate the achievements of Mary "Bonnie" Baker, an all-star catcher in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and a pioneer for women in sports.

All registered and excited to attend #AAS2026 Conference in my own backyard next March. Looking forward to connect with Asian Studies scholars and happy to give dining recommendations in Vancouver! @asianstudies.org

A pleasure to present at my school district's Professional Development Day. Great to share and learn from my colleagues at the same time.

Thank you Buck for everything you have contributed to the Blue Jays organization. It has been a privilege watching and listening to your broadcasts since my childhood days.

45 years ago, the #BlueJays traded for a backup catcher. This is my story on Buck Martinez, all these years later. What a ride it's been. www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Most people remember Buck Martinez the player on this remarkable double play. That was my first year following baseball. Still cannot believe how the return throw from George Bell just magically bounced into his glove right before the runner arrived. Thank you for everything Buck! #BlueJays

Lyndon@iamlyndon.bsky.social · 7mo ago

In honour of Buck Martinez announcing his retirement as #Toronto #BlueJays commentator. I give you the most badass play, he made as an active player. Making a double play with a broken leg. 🤯 youtu.be/kjHo1w_9WwM?...

A Tale of Three Brothers. So glad to attend in-person for the legendary UBC Korean History and Civilization Professor Dr. Don Baker's Capstone lecture. Thanks for all you have contributed to the field through all these years. #AsianStudies
