I'm at the Open Education Conference! Should I start using Bluesky again for this? 😄 #OpenEd25

High five buddies for life!!

It's hard to focus on work when I'm halfway through Paris Hilton's memoir and all I want to do is finish it immediately.

Finally watched Hot Frosty and I loved it. A holiday masterpiece. ⛄️

You got this!! 💖 Keeping momentum on writing is harrrd. I think little social media breaks can be helpful, but I'll try to yell at you to get out of here and write. Now go do it! Lol.

Finally organizing and cleaning up (aka, deleting lots of) my messy file backlog and I'm surprisingly enjoying it so far. Kind of cathartic.

Oh yeah, definitely plan to watch some recorded sessions!

I think you've just convinced me to finally read it

thank you for this! I also attended virtually but actually barely got to attend due to travel and scheduling conflicts. appreciate your summaries and thoughts!

Making it through Tuesday was my goal for the week so actually this sounds great

I had goat cheesecake tonight and it was incredible

Ooh love this! I think the list will help me with some gift shopping for my niece and nephews

Lol no...at least not yet 😅

It's been brought to my attention that today I had a meeting where we talked about chairs (furniture) and a meeting where we talked about chairs (committee leaders)

I've abandoned my account but not fully deleted it yet...I'm almost there though, should be happening soon. *sigh*

My new favorite thing to do is tell friends when something they have written has had a positive impact on students that I work with. Often people write and research and never hear how it can really positively impact someone, so why not let them know?

Might have to fully accept that it's a bad idea to be on my phone right before trying to go to sleep at night (keyword: trying 😞)

YouTube video by Bachelor Nation Kim Gets a Surprise Rendition of His Iconic ‘Mansion Men’ Song from Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles!

Caught up on #TheGoldenBachelorette Men Tell All episode and the part where the Gay Men's Chorus of LA sang the song that Kim wrote for Joan made me really happy, so if you're in the mood for something super wholesome and a little cheesy: youtu.be/r5elEUsZMZ0?...

That feeling when you finally do something that's been on your list for weeks and it actually turned out to be very simple

The process is where the learning happens. Take that away and what's the point? If faculty are using AI to create the lessson plan and assignments, students are ChatGPTing the essay, and faculty are using AI to grade it, what are we even doing? Where is the education happening?

Omg hashtags on here make all the difference. Love being able to follow along #OER24 (while getting supremely jealous of everyone there)
