Today I started a ⁦Clarkson University⁩ training for 300+ faculty on a six week online #pedagogy best practices course. Nice to be at a forward looking university that is putting emphasis on impacts for student success.

Hey, Adobe, why are you forcing students into 12-month contracts? Universities don't run on that schedule. I'm debating whether I can ethically require design students learning remotely due to Covid-19 to pay $240 for software they only need for four months.

Last Friday @Flipgrid broke sending 220 students to email me questions directly. This morning @zoom_us is glitchy 20 mins before three back to back course sessions I'll lead wearing a mask made for Darth Vader. #Pedagogy in 2020 should include lessons by #MacGyver.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've watched Sir Ken Robinson's talks in the courses I've instructed over the years. Great leader, speaker, and champion for creativity and evolution to #education.

Great morning find: My 7th grader's worksheet on fair use, copyright and public domain usage for her #library #science class. After today's lesson for school she will be more informed than 90% of #academics. #OA #OAWeek2020

Completed a large #zoom session Clarkson University with an amazing guest speaker, Mo Manklang, focused on empowering cooperative ownership of #media companies for better minority representation & equitable profit dispersal. COVID era learning isn't less: just different.

From reading Paul LeBlanc's new book I learned that Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) with its focus of serving underserved students have more people of color enrolled with them than do the largest historically Black colleges and universities. I find that impactful.
