Here's my final POD Network Conference outfit post: the blues (which feels fitting since today is the last day of the conference). ☹️ #POD25

Tolu and Isis smiling at the camera. They are both wearing shades of pink. Tolu is also wearing a matching pink KN95 mask.
It's been so great meeting people in 3D that I've only ever seen on LinkedIn, Bluesky, or Zoom (like the wonderful Isis Artze-Vega)! #POD25

Today is a two-outfit day! The left is what I wore for the POD Network Conference sessions during the day, and the right is what I'm wearing to watch (and only watch) the karaoke party tonight! #POD25

A stack of handouts, Lemonhead candies, lemonade mix, and lemon stickers on a table.
A paper tree that is covered in lemon-shaped sticky notes.
A 2x2 lemonade matrix. The x-axis ranges from low effort to high effort, and the y-axis ranges from low impact to high impact.
A handout entitled Questions for Selecting Which Ideas/Programs to Pursue. The questions are:
1) Do you have the resources (space, financial, staft)?
2) Does this align with institutional mission or priorities?
3) Does this address a need on campus or nationally?
4) Does this address efforts of equity or accessibility?
5) Is this scalable or build towards center priorities?
6) Does this develop your own professional skills/knowledge?
7) Are your educators interested in this?
8) Does this make you or others smile (or pucker!)?
Lindsey Hamilton and Wells Castonguay went all out with their workshop theme of turning "lemons" (like limited resources, time, and programs that just aren't working) into lemonade! #POD25

Today's POD Network Conference outfit called for all the cozy things: a sweater dress and a scarf. #POD25

Tolu posing in front of her workshop slides while smiling at the camera. She is wearing a green dress with black plus signs all over it, and a matching green KN95 mask.
This morning's pre-conference workshop was my 1st time facilitating a session at an on-site conference since the pandemic began. I poured the last 5 years of pent up ideas & energy into the session & seeing the impact it had on attendees literally brought me to tears. Thanks to all who came.💛 #POD25

Welp, I guess I'm continuing the trend of documenting my POD Network Conference outfits for fun! Today's theme was green. #POD25

The image depicts a retro-style arcade game screen designed to resemble the classic Pac-Man game. At the top, the word "Google" appears in stylized, colorful letters. Below this, the screen shows the current level as "LVL 1/8" and the high score as "00," with two orange circular buttons to the right. The main game board features blue evenly-spaced dots creating a maze with angular pathways. Various colored ghosts (red, cyan, pink, orange) are positioned in the center with barriers around them. A small, yellow Pac-Man character begins at the maze's bottom, with three additional Pac-Men icons signifying lives remaining in the bottom left corner. Decorative elements include pixelated trees, lamp posts, a house, and a fountain.
Did anyone else get distracted by the Pac-Man game on Google's home page today?

There's nothing quite like finally crossing things off your to-do list that you've repeatedly moved to the next list. 😅

If you encounter someone who is #stillmasking, you are not entitled to know why.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Today alone, I drove by four ads for Friend, a wearable AI device that is actively being marketed as a companion. Someone decided to #annotate one of the ads. They crossed out "Friend" and wrote "Your real friends have souls."
Mic drop.

Tomorrow from 12-1:30pm ET, I'll be leading a free session about using structure to promote student engagement.
I've given this workshop before, and many participants have told me it's helped them understand things about themselves, too.
I look forward to seeing you then!
