Sharing my identities at a local high school career day!

I would have loved to be in the story boarding/music mashup room to see this develop. Some crazy talented people created this!

Whether he meant to send love from his heart or a message to neo-nazis is less important than how the audience perceives it. Many see it as the #2, emboldened by pardons of those who publicly shared neo-nazi intent. This is the conversation. What do we do about the disconnect and potential violence?

This year’s donated books tree. Can’t wait to get them into readers’ hands!

Listened to @podsaveamerica.bsky.social about media covering Trump 2.0 on my way to #LRA24 where I joined other researches thinking about #literacies and was struck by the thought that our current information ecosystem started with Web 2.0 and the ability for anyone to create unvetted content

One thing I love about @bsky.app is that my feed isn’t filled with questions and theories about the drones that have infiltrated our area. You all talk smart things in my curated feed 😀

Today’s thought: if you are called to give to others but it’s breaking you, what are you called to do, exactly?

Pondering #AIinEDU as I finish up a chapter about how education is just too slow to change. Is this the tech that will transform pedagogy?

Question of the day: Should businesses and their needs guide the development of new kinds of programs in higher ed? #edusky

A study in the exhibitor hall, 24 hours at a time. #ncte24

Are there rules of discourse in social media spaces? @rbmann.bsky.social sharing ideas on civil discourse #ncte24

Kicking to morning off thinking about misinformation with Jeff Wilhelm, Michael Smith, and Deb Appleman. Tip of the day, because we all are susceptible… If you are triggered or get emotional, SLOW DOWN, and read a little more critically. #ncte24

End of line entered the hall at 8:29ish #ncte24

And again people waiting in line well before the start time are getting inside after the speaker started. Logistics #ncte24

Trying this again #ncte24. The line is moving but last night it took way more than 5 minutes to make it inside from here

Mine is the first generation to reap the rewards of the cashed check referenced by MLK. Justice Jackson articulated this idea in her conversation today. There’s a lot the my generation has taken for granted #ncte24
