It was a joy to visit Director @johnkane.bsky.social at the Center for Excellence in Learning & Teaching, SUNY Oswego! John, the host of my fav podcast Tea For Teaching, provided very on-brand refreshments. #TeaBuffet

This Sunday is May the Fourth and that means we are contractually obligated to show a Star Wars movie on #HATM. So join us this Sunday at 8 PM Eastern on Disney+ for SOLO. And as a bonus, enjoy what is probably the best Fanmade trailer ever made below. youtu.be/3TPY4TKo6uQ?...

Trek-related #ProfessorWin for @shengokai.bsky.social!

353 signatories so far on the @aacu.org Call! AMAZING work by their team. Take a look - organized by the presidents' last names (not the institutions or associations). Is your college/university or academic organization there? #academicsky #skystorians #edusky #higher www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Thank you, @liznorell.bsky.social for visiting us today at the Syracuse University Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence! So grateful for your insightful, inspiring coversation about #ThePresentProfessor @oupress.bsky.social.

Talking about teaching with other college educators who care about teaching is the best part of my job! The Wisconsin Universities OPID teaching conference was 🔥🔥🔥. Thank you @cyndik.bsky.social for the invite.

Noticed this at the end of class: a tiny pink origami dragon, left behind by a student. It’s coming with me.

It's frightening to listen to high schoolers on the precipice of a lifetime outside of school describe how they do not make meaningful choices at school, many don't even see the connection. We have GOT to do better than letting teenagers choose where to sit at lunch. What's the voting age again?

"The Trump administration is mounting a sweeping and unprecedented attack on historical knowledge and institutions." #history -- captimes.com/opinion/gues...

I didn't believe it but I clicked and now I am both more knowledgeable and more horrified

Have you read the NYSED response to the Trump admin’s “certify you don’t do DEI or else” letter? It is embedded in the article below. You should! It is gratifying and an example of simple, legal, potent resistance from a gov entity. Little 🧵

Decorative pillow in my Wisconsin hotel room. I like this place! 🧀

My 7th grade pre-algebra teacher wrote me an email thanking me for a piece I wrote. I haven't seen the man for more than 40 years. We're going to go for a reuben and matzo ball soup next time I go home. Why isn't that the goal of our education system?

Everything is as it was, but at least there are new piglets at my friend’s farm in VT. Mangalitsa (sp?). They have curly hair!

I'm going to Wisconsin! Looking forward to the U of WI spring teaching conference this week. My keynote is titled: "A SoTL Reality Check: Three Underrecognized, Underexamined, and Underestimated Truths about Teaching and Learning." www.wisconsin.edu/spring-confe...

Teaching in this time means conveying a level of hope that perhaps the teacher has no ostensible evidence for. Paradoxically, it's that very hope through students that keeps many educators going anyway. We have a lot of work to do in recognizing these efforts.

Yesterday folks around the country raised their voices in powerful protest. Today, we celebrate public scholarly voices working to help us resist, learn, & push toward a more perfect union, with my 219th #ScholarSunday thread. Share widely & enjoy! 🗃️ americanstudier.substack.com/p/scholarsun...

There were days in my childhood when life wasn't pleasant or easy. Libraries were my refuge and safe space when there was no other place in the world like that for me. I bet I'm not alone in that. Imagine a wealthy, powerful society that defunds its libraries and museums.

I had the opportunity to talk about my #AHA25 poster on #TeaForTeaching! Thank you, @johnkane.bsky.social & @cyberthread.bsky.social. @historians.org jessamynneuhaus.com/aha

I had a great time talking to @johnkane.bsky.social & @cyberthread.bsky.social on #TeaForTeaching about my history students' "Picturing Plattsburgh" class project. #Skystorians 🗃

What a great event today! Inspired & encouraged by so many educators talking about teaching, sharing their ideas & strategies. @boisestate.bsky.social www.boisestate.edu/ctl/eventsan...

[straining Sting voice] LOXXXXXXX VAN!

Heading to Boise for the @boisestate.bsky.social Great Ideas for Teaching & Learning Summit! Looking forward to keynoting about the many, many, oh so many mistakes we make as a normal part of our effective teaching. www.boisestate.edu/ctl/eventsan...

Did y'all know I'm giving the keynote (and an afternoon talk, too) at the Innovative Teaching & Learning Conference this Wednesday? It's virtual, free, and you can register here: teaching.utk.edu/itlc-home/. I hope to see some of you there!

I accept memes as reading responses in my undergrad social media class, and I thought @katestarbird.bsky.social and her fans would appreciate this one that a student created this week:

Among those removed from WH website are Bayard Rustin, posthumously awarded Medal of Freedom by Pres. Obama. 404 error: www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-of... We must defend right to #TeachTruth in K-12 about Rustin, March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom, & more www.zinnedproject.org/materials/tr...

ooooh it has a cover! Such a clever frame, and cannot wait to read @geekypedagogy.bsky.social's solutions. Now available for pre-order!
