Delta Center -> Energy Solutions Arena -> Vivint SmartHome Arena -> Delta Center

Twitter -> X -> ?

@elonmusk trading in the twitter bird for a bossy owl. The whole idea has a Neighborhood of Make-Believe vibe, no?

I do not fear failure. I fear spending many long years pursuing something that never mattered.

What if the entire Twitter feed is just #ChatGPT?

New approaches to these problems are coming, from WGU Academy.

So much to be be grateful for.

And people wonder why there’s been a decline in applicants and enrollments in American colleges. #StudentsFirst

[Jo(sephine) Lukito @JosephineLukito]

Twice this week, I have gotten the advice that I should teach *worse* because if I'm teaching well, I'm putting too much time into teaching.

This advice makes me absolutely LIVID, and adhering to it would be a disservice to my pedagogy, my student's labor, and the field.

The problem with the student debt forgiveness announcement is that it fixes everything except the underlying problem.

Okay Stranger Things using "Running Up That Hill" has me thinking. What's the best use of music in film or TV? And why is it "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap in The OC?

This is well worth the read: an interview with @Pulsipher_WGU by @GoldieStandard about where @wgu, now with 132,000 (!) students, is headed next. https://t.co/91GeN9EwQ2

Incredible day at #WGUgrad with an excellent keynote by ⁦@JohnnyCTaylorJr⁩. Grads ranged from 19 to 72 years young.

[Scott Pulsipher @Pulsipher_WGU]

Great insights on the need for employers to shift toward skills-based hiring. Skills-denominated #learning and work actually increase the value of a #degree, as it better articulates the competencies of the individual who holds the #credential. More on this from @HBSWK:

This is a bit of good news for low income students @wgu @wguacademy

President Biden announced Monday that 20 internet companies agreed to provide discounted service to people with low incomes, a program that could effectively make tens of millions of households eligible for free service through an existing federal subsidy. https://t.co/f1OvQMcbl3
