@asuonline Take a walk, or if possible get out into nature on my bike or hiking! I also found reading poetry or non-academic work while outdoors to be so helpful during my degree at ASU
Grateful to share what I've been working on recently as I continue to reflect on my experience teaching abroad in Oxford. It was a deep joy to interface Christian theology with experiential learning here, and to contribute to a journal that has been so impactful in my own growth
@tillwehvfaces Strong shades of Augustine - “All people should be loved equally. But you cannot do good to all people equally, so you should take particular thought for those who, as if by lot, happened to be particularly close to you in terms of time, place, or any other circumstances."
@KaitlynSchiess C.S. Lewis tackles this somewhat in the problem of pain - his answer - some do! I’m just going to claim my dog as part of my covenant family 😅
AI feedback can benefit students, but educators are increasingly turning to automated feedback to reduce their workload. Let's address the material conditions causing educators to feel burnt out first before adopting AI as a stand in for human connection. (👆link in bio)

Excited for yet another #LancLearns conference! My session will invite faculty to employ an enactivist framework for interpreting and planning for meaningful learning experiences
Ok @PlayProfessors@PODNetworkHQ - i've long been on a journey with play in my classroom and work, but my current growth area is using Legos/playdough! I would love to hear ideas for how i might use these in either faculty development or the classroom - thanks in advance!
US teachers on average spend 28 hours of their work week in face-to-face instruction.
Finland? 21 hours.
Japan? 18 hours.
Who could have guessed that giving teachers more time time to plan, assess, give feedback, engage in professional learning, etc. would improve outcomes?
This is such a powerful way to frame teacher education and development - thanks for helping me to articulate what i've experienced and tried to communicate (poorly :) ) to my students and colleagues, @PepsMccrea!
