Got hacked by scammers and bots in a recent online survey after recruiting from Reddit. Over 4,000 responses became just 200 valid ones after a major data clean-up. These digital tricksters were craftier than anticipated. It's a new era of online scams (1/9).

Gearing up to teach for the spring semester? I made some Powerpoint files with collections of activities I use in my classes--weekly checkins, warm-up activities, and exit tickets. You are welcome to download and adapt for your class! https://t.co/TSLOMJ52vE
