We learn from experience that we never really learn anything from experience.

@lafilleleena I am watching Sense8 now. The show handles the theory of limbic resonance and asks if early man (or predecessors of man) communicated in ways similar to emotional telepathy. #Sense8 #limbicresonance #dskgeo

This book provides foundational knowledge for implementing an immersive model in a classroom. It addresses practical steps and community support. #bilingualeducation #bilingualclassrooms #immersion #dskgeod https://t.co/CsIiVbt9gd

@KeraYoung16 Debussy’s Clair de Lune caught my attention at first listen. There is something so ethereal about the melody that has captured me since. #Musicinschools #ClassicalMusic #dskgeod

Music connects people on an emotional level that other subjects cannot. Its presence in schools provides an affective basis— a heart. #musicinschools #dskgeod https://t.co/r06Zkm6tHu

Statistically, the number of multilingual learners in America is increasing. It is therefore prudent to offer teacher education training in immersive early childhood education in order to meet the needs of these and future students. #immersion #earlychildhoodeducation #dskgeod https://t.co/rz7wZVXqxn

In 2017, we became the first university in the state to offer a dual immersion early childhood education endorsement for students. Learn more about how @gsucehd is preparing teachers for multilingual classrooms. https://t.co/GmCBqExanT

Virtual reality has extensive educational implications that build on its current use in video game technology to enable learners to enter real-world situations and complete tasks. #VirtualReality #learningisrewarding #learningisfun #dskgeod https://t.co/zzUqGmXU8B

Students can take classes online-- clearly-- but how much do they really learn? How effective is this type of education? Can we call online learning immersive education? #onlinelearning #immersion #dskgeod https://t.co/pSIA8bwiLj

"Today, a student can practice English online, upload homework through a portal and learn chemistry through 3D immersion — such is the rise of educational technologies."

The French education system offers a different look at educational philosophies. What is most important that high school graduates know and be able to do? #frencheducation #bilingualeducation #philosophyofeducation #dskgeod https://t.co/uwmEmuNoK0

[Philosophy Matters @PhilosophyMttrs]

Yesterday in France, thousands of students sat for the first day of the baccalaureat exam ... and the first day is always philosophy (because philosophy matters in France) ... here are the questions they were asked ... how would you have done? ... https://t.co/EOG5nOKbvh

This guide (is in French, but) helps parents decide which route to take when deciding how to educate their children. #bilingualeducation #immersion #dskgeod https://t.co/aDJDMHlxZp

What an amazing step in the inclusion of First Nations peoples in Canadian education! I can't wait to see indigenous curriculum and educators. #abed #FirstNations #dskgeod https://t.co/4uXwBcesBv

@lafilleleena I’m all for it, but if you keep transgender people out of your women and men only restrooms, that’s discrimination. #Transgenderbathrooms #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@lafilleleena I love seeing people who are trans in bathrooms that I use! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I guess that’s just the people I think are trans. We don’t always know how people identify. #Transgenderbathrooms #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@KoehlPHL @SarahStanleyRWC I tweeted about this. In asking trans people to use their non preferred bathroom, we’re asking them to pay the high price for our own discomfort. We feel weird in our stomach, so they’re getting beat up or sick. Why is that ok? #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@shannondl07 I am so proud of this nation’s young people for being on the forefront of change. #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@weber117 Awesome article!! Transgender protection laws DO NOT lead to bathroom abuse, just increased affirmation! #transgenderbathrooms #letthempee #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@weber117 This isn’t allowing schools to address transgender students’ needs on a case-by-case basis, it’s allowing them to dismiss these cases without trying for a solution. It says that gender identity has nothing to do with sex, undoing the work of Obama. #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@CarsonMiskinis What makes you think that there will be an influx of perversion if transgender safety laws are passed? #transgenderbathrooms #letthempee #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@mike_coatsworth @KoehlPHL @DahlquistNancy @weber117 @shannondl07 I too wish that you could articulate WHY you feel this way. Otherwise, it comes off as a view that is unexamined. It is also quite difficult for me to engage with you. #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@KoehlPHL @weber117 @DahlquistNancy @shannondl07 I’m trying to suss out why people feel so comfortable condemning gay people on biblical basis, but don’t do so to others. That’s all. #dskgeo

[Jill Alcorn @jill_alcorn]

@DahlquistNancy @KoehlPHL @weber117 @shannondl07 Ok, let’s try again. Are they more or less unrighteous than those who use jesus’s name in vain or those who engage in adultery? You’re not answering my questions and I’m not sure why. #dskgeo
