I like books and public service. Previously: @18F, @BerkeleyISchool. Now: Call me Liz. All tweets my own, et cetera.

Why thank you, ChatGPT 😀 /with @egoodman and @marcharlier

@npseaver Not academic, but a nice fun lead-in for non-humanities folks as a general intro to Why You Should Care about naming: https://t.co/bsJSGv5UrB. More than 12 years later, I still see it linked. Largely because programmers *still* don't deal well with names.

In a world of chat bots and phone trees, @USPS is a beacon of hope. I just got a call from an actual human at my city post office. She gave me some non-BS info, then said she'd keep looking for my package and call me back. O USPS! You are a national treasure.

@supermarke 2 kids, both in SFUSD. I reduce my expectations in all the things.

Because you needed more cats and infrastructure in your life. https://t.co/ChoLClfqUR

Looking for your next high impact tech role or just starting your career as an engineer, designer, product manager, data scientist, or cyber security specialist? Choose what matters. Choose public interest tech.

@mayagurantz @thesarahv @odedgurantz @morgangames FWIW @mayagurantz my experience is that it's not the device (tho -- iPad for typing-heavy middle school homework, my heart BREAKS) but the variability in practice. So my kid's 5 teachers each use G Classroom differently, and a few don't always put assignments online.

[Elizabeth Goodman @egoodman]

@mayagurantz @thesarahv @odedgurantz Did a quick search and didn't find much published -- suspect it's too soon. I do, however, highly recommend @morgangames' https://t.co/IxijsiWtZn for insight into ed tech enthusiasm / disillusionment cycles.

@mayagurantz @thesarahv @odedgurantz @morgangames Thank you for bringing the actual knowledge, Morgan!

Have you thanked a local infrastructure worker for your water, electricity, and internet today?

Remember: "innovation" comes and goes. Repair, connection, and maintenance are FOREVER.

the right jar is what goes out.
this happens every day.
around the clock.

the work of hundreds of people.
hundreds of miles of infrastructure.

@ftrain @richziade You can organize onsite child care for attendees and make that sitter problem go away! I have seen other events do this, and it is surprisingly straightforward. @mikekuniavsky has done it multiple times.
