Is it possible that ChatGPT will help put sites like CourseHero out of business since students can get AI to give them answers for free? Just wondering out loud. #edchat

Praying for Abby Zwerner - a first grade teacher shot by a 6-year-old student. Praying for all involved. It's just mind-boggling that this epidemic of gun-violence in schools has continued so long in our country without any real changes made to stop it.

My place of work gave all the employees two extra days off as a surprise for a huge accomplishment we achieved this year. They also redid their vacation policy which is more generous than before. I’m so happy. These are the sorts of benefits employees value! @CSUedu

I just took a bit of time to watch this video on managing stress and it's really given me a new perspective. If you're worried about what stress is doing to your body - watch this. It really might help. #stress https://t.co/vs3iFRFUtF

@TechNinjaTodd Thanks for this thread. Lots of great ideas! I have loved Trivia, Have you Ever, Escape Room (we created in PPT), Getty Museum Challenge, Meme Challenge, Alt Job Title exercise, What is in your phone?, & charades!

@BMCassessments When I was an English teacher, my favorite method had nothing to do with grades - it was simply a discussion with the Ss. I asked them questions. They asked me questions. We pondered possibilities. That's how I knew if they really understood something.

The application process is not easy and the course was a huge labor of love. Pretty proud of this.

@KrystynaGadd I think there is a difference between the keynote speaker and one of many presenters throughout a conference who also plans to fully participate in the conference. Keynote speaker - no. Everyone else - yes.

I have decided that it is a serious art form - creating the perfect outfit for video meetings at home. Finding the perfect balance between casual and professional is not easy. #nopajamabottoms

@karenraycosta I am curious what overlap there is with design & teaching. It seems to me like most of the care & knowledge about trauma needs to lie with the instructors & there is not much designers can do. I would love to know how that assumption is wrong so I can be helpful as a designer.

[Elizabeth Anagnostis MacWhinnie (she/her) @EMacWhinnie]

@heymrsbond Love your layout for grading. Where were you when I was an English teacher??? Seriously - thanks for sharing. I hope some new teachers see this and find their own way of doing the same sort of thing.

Happy Mardi Gras, friends! I know what it means to miss New Orleans.

@mrmikeMTL I don't. And neither do most people, I believe. We like to believe we can tell, but we really can't.

Sometimes I work late because a project is frustrating me so much, I have to conquer it by finishing it. I can't let it beat me! This is really incredibly healthy or incredibly unhealthy. I'm not sure which. #instructionaldesign
