@itsYRmedia & @rockmaneval want to know what young people ages 14-24 think about Artificial Intelligence, the role of #AI in society, and its impact on our lives. Make your voice heard! tinyurl.com/AI-and-you
Eagerly waiting to hear David Stovall’s talk on Learning when it feels like there is little room left. Students lived in precarity before the pandemic and will continue. @rockmaneval @usdoegov
Attending @usedgov @abtassociates EIR mtg with @rockmaneval & @sfusdmpd. Big trend in schools 2020-21, educators are overwhelmed, cannot add to already full+spinning plates. Must be flexible & give room to tackle challenges that students, families and staff continue to face.

I’m endorsing @IndiaWaltonBflo for mayor because she has the experience to make Buffalo a city that works for everyone, and she’ll fight every day to put working people first. Democrats, let’s support our Democratic nominee!
I’m so proud to have the endorsement of @ewarren! She’s a shining example of how a first-time candidate can assume office, fight for the exploited and oppressed, and be extremely effective and successful. Thank you, Senator!

@rockmaneval @scoprebu interesting discussion on DEI methods, measuring equity, and rejecting deficit theories in education
Developing shared responsibilities through community partnerships requires reciprocity, mutual respect, and openness to learn. “We don’t start with fixed outcomes. We hold the commitment to engage…in shared goals” @NSF #2021AISLmeeting @informalscience
