@mguhlin @scerruti I’m glad my kids are grown, and when they were at the age where social media could have hurt them, we were still using Compuserve, and AOL was for kids.

@tedcurran @scerruti @mguhlin Nothing wrong with lime in your PBL. I’d object to lime in PB&J though.

Educators, if you are not following EduMatch, now is your opportunity. @EduMatch

@AlliFlowers @scerruti @mguhlin Applying the concept of scaffolding to this issue tells me that they need a safe, supported, non-public space to try, fail, make mistakes, get feedback about those mistakes, and learn-by-doing what works and what doesn't. I had great success introducing juniors and seniors to blogging this way. An authentic intro to copyright issues, digital citizenship, and web tech they wouldn't get otherwise.

Trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

@benjaminwittes You do realize, of course, that you are advertising Twitter on Mastodon?

At Protests, #Guns Are Doing the Talking

Armed Americans, often pushing a right-wing agenda, are increasingly using open-carry laws to intimidate opponents and shut down debate.

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.

This is very cool.

A new, modernized National Archives Catalog just launched. The new Catalog’s focus on scalability will allow the agency to reach its goal to get 500 million digitized pages in the Catalog by September 2026.

The fully redesigned online public access Catalog makes accessing the agency’s holdings more intuitive for the user and improves the search experience by generating faster results.

@manners I had a professor in my Master’s program who insisted that the purpose of education was sorting. He had a point.

@scerruti @mguhlin We just have to teach them internet safety and digital citizenship. More importantly, we have to teach parents how to digitally engage with their children. Parents don’t get the kind of PD that educators get. They don’t get any at all, and we need to change that.

@scerruti @mguhlin Social networks are not meant for K-12. Even under close supervision. They are fabulous for higher ed and PD.

If folks want to prevent these outcomes, for example to preserve a system where everyone logs on through small communities where they know the admin and moderators personally, the governing principles need to be put in place now. The technology won't do it by itself, and in fact it may create conditions that favor the opposite outcome. /fin

I could hear this crowd, this mob that had gathered outside....And so this woman collects us and takes us all to the office...
And one guy says, 'Maybe what we're going to have to do is let them hang one kid while we get the other eight out. At least we'll save eight.'
And then another white gentleman - I believe to be assistant chief of police of North Little Rock, stood up and said, 'No, look, I'm a parent, I'm not doing this. I'm getting them all out. We're going. We're going to do it.'

A single innocent life saved is priceless. Always rescue the suffering. You may just be rescued too. Dogs and their rescuers are sacred.
