A new study by IST instructional designer @cgamrat and @PSU_CollegeOfEd Professor @Heather2meZimm proposes the conceptual framework of #digitalbadges as cultural tools that allows learners to personalize their #professionaldevelopment.

Am I a bad person because I didn’t want to retweet this article that I think gives accurate predictions for higher education in the coming months, because it would depress people who are already “whelmed” by bad news? – at Pennsylvania, USA

Hello, PA politicians!! Want to be a TRUE representative? End Gerrymandering! @RepTurzai @RepBryanCutler @senatorscarnati @SenatorDiSanto @JakeCorman
PA voters want fair districts.
Several statewide polls give same results: more than 2/3 of respondents, from all parties, all parts of PA, would like an independent redistricting commission.
Less than 1 in 5 think legislators should draw their own maps.

WHY do we care so much about this issue?
Because we know until this changes, nothing changes.
Without accountable elections leaders can rig the system, set the agenda, & lock out new voices & important ideas.
It's time for change: #GIVETHEBILLSAVOTE

Is #redistricting reform a partisan issue?
It shouldn't be.
Both parties #Gerrymander when they have a chance.
Voters right, left & unaffiliated, east, west & center, want an independent commission.
Our endorsing orgs are across the spectrum.
FDPA is adamantly non-partisan.

Majority of PA support redistricting reform; majority of political leaders in Harrisburg prefer to rig the maps--who do they represent? Not us.
Dtown school district was splintered into 5 House districts.
A Pville precinct was chopped into 2 House districts.
All to give 1 party an advantage.
Expect a friendly process in 2021?
Good luck on that.
Fix it now before time runs out.

If you've been following you know #PAHouse has been considering MANY bills introduced by 1 or 2 sponsors w no public input, no expert testimony, little likelihood #PASenate will pass or @GovernorTomWolf will sign.
We'd like #PAHouse to consider HB 22 & 23.
#GIVETHEBILLSAVOTE
The #PAHouse is now considering HB 2530 which would allow for the free exercise of religion, including freedom to assemble and worship, during times of emergency
Pushing for important changes? Remember gerrymandering, a blatant attempt to rig the system. PA politicians are preventing proposed legislation from getting to a vote. Shame! @RepTurzai @RepBryanCutler @senatorscarnati @SenatorDiSanto @JakeCorman #EndGerrymandering #CanYouHearUs?
Time for important changes, including ending gerrymandering! Our politicians should DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to get House Bills 22 and 23 and Senate Bills 1022 and 1023 up for a vote. @RepTurzai @RepBryanCutler @senatorscarnati @SenatorDiSanto @JakeCorman
Another voter, and some future voters, from the Lehigh Valley want to end gerrymandering. Give HB22 and 23 and SB 1022 and 1023 a vote! #GivetheBillsavote @RepTurzai @RepBryanCutler @JakeCorman @senatorscarnati #endgerrymandering
Just posted a tribute video "Remembering Paul Welliver" created by his granddaughter Morgan. Thought you might like to review Paul's life well lived. youtu.be/9I3zGcaqDac via @YouTube
Here's a good writeup about an interesting project by my colleagues Susan Land and Heather Zimmerman that combines mobile devices and outdoors education.

Here's How Not to Improve Public Schools #edchat flip.it/vELPK0
I just wrote a @FairDistrictsPA letter: Tell your PA House Reps to pass the Samuelson amendment (A08876) to SB 22, then pass SB 22. The integrity of our representative democracy is at stake. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/te… #EndGerrymandering
Enjoyed this post by Michael Horn's on EdSurge. edsurge.com/news/2018-05-14-…? It proposes that helping learners "locate" with regard to prior knowledge, etc, then offer them learning options, the informed sense of agency in choosing learning paths would be potentially powerful.
Love this program. Sets up a win/win for learners and their IBM. Free access to learning materials, free assessments, and then free credentials. Everybody wins! xitter.cf/cgamrat/status/9949862…
I love the idea of a lot of small donors supporting this idea. Join me? xitter.cf/SVashaw/status/9732191…
