As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.
If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

There are words you shouldn’t call academic (or any) women. Words you might think are innocuous, but have a long history of being used to dismiss, devalue, or discredit women. You might not be aware that these words should be avoided. A 🧵

A new @EEPAjournal article finds that college students who are given the opportunity to take classes online graduate more quickly and that online course taking is associated with a higher likelihood of successfully graduating within 4 years. journals.sagepub.com/stoken/…

"We will make our final decision on campus reopening on a date no later than the day our closest competing universities announce their decisions and no earlier than the day after we cash your fall tuition deposit checks."

If you're still thinking about #RemoteTeaching #RemoteLearning, you're late. We should all be working on designing and developing #QualityLearning #OnlineClasses for Summer and Fall. It's much easier to revert back to F2F than it is to step up to #onlinelearning.

Americans deserve a president who will listen to science and act decisively to mitigate the pandemic—not waste time, peddle fake cures, and wish it away.
90,000 Americans are dead.
1,400,000 confirmed U.S. cases.
36,000,000+ unemployment claims filed.
Trump had plenty of warning, but he failed to act to slow the spread of the pandemic.
@StaceyAbrams takes us back in time to explain Trump’s failed coronavirus response:

Let's remember that synchronous tools are not the only option for warm, human discussion. Asynchronous tools like VoiceThread, Flipgrid, Pronto (all a mobile app too) are valuable for culturally responsive teaching & learning environments. #EquityOnline @DrLukeWood @Fharris3

My hope for the future of #HigherEd: Not having access to a physical classroom will be seen by faculty as a glorious opportunity to rethink how we teach and how students learn and seen by leadership as a reason to invest in teaching. #TeachingMatters #Coronahope

Congrats to past #ClioCloud9 keynote speaker @HabenGirma on her new book "Haben: The Deafblind Woman who Conquered Harvard Law." Haben was one of the most powerful keynotes I've ever seen, and meeting her was a truly powerful and moving moment for me personally.
Oprah Magazine recommends reading Haben The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law!
"This autobiography by a millennial Helen Keller teems with grace and grit.” @OprahM #HabenBook oprahmag.com/entertainment/b…
ALT On the left is the book cover for Haben, and on the right is the quote, "Society designed this environment for people who can see and hear. In this environment, I'm disabled. They put the burden on me to step out of my world and reach into theirs."

It's not enough just to comment on the president's racist language... He also repeatedly lies about what the congresswomen said, or takes words drastically out of context (a form of lying). The press should call these lies out whenever they show or print the president's comments.

Math tweeps - what are some recommended tools we can use in Canvas that will allow teachers and students to use/write mathematical equations. Looking for a tool or choices for assignments as well as chat capable. Cost is a concern, but utility is higher value.Thanks!
