@bensprague @elonmusk For what it's worth, Twitter has this feature - they dropped it fairly recently but brought it back, thankfully! Mid-way down this help page shows how you can make your feed chronological, depending on your platform: https://t.co/lMY4slVZJf (Lists are a great feature, too.)

@BrianRoemmele I also like this quote from him, later in his career: "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." You might also enjoy: https://t.co/XzpCYei9rK

@reneritchie An admirable goal, to be sure. I'm not sure most recognize just how much intention Fred Rogers invested in his work. Love this article... a great peek under the 'hood, and perhaps a template to modify for mass tech communication: https://t.co/yYW7EOUQxV

Hey @ACTEM members, please check out the new Professional Library at https://t.co/jVTpD9VpsU This digital resource is free to members and has lots of great books, some of which were recommended in our #EdChatME #slowchat Kuddos to @marsenault for leading the charge! Please RT!

[Jonathan M. Pratt @jonpratt]

Please join us for tonight for dinner and a silent auction to benefit two great families. 5-7pm in the @foxcroftacademy gymnasium. #CancerSucks

[Jonathan M. Pratt @jonpratt]

"Classroom" observations are easily the favorite part of my job! ⁦@foxcroftacademy⁩ students are so fortunate to have these field learning opportunities!

Hey #EdChatME and other US-based edu-folks ... heads-up that all the cell phones in your buildings will be sounding a *loud* *TEST* alarm today!

[FEMA @fema]

📳TOMORROW (Wednesday) 10/3: Expect to get a test emergency alert message on your phone at 2:18 PM EDT.

You’ll hear a loud tone & vibration. This is a nationwide test of the Wireless Emergency Alert system.

Survivors of sexual assault are too often systemically silenced — coming forward is incredibly brave. We want survivors everywhere to know that this morning and always, we hear you.

Scriptable is now available on the App Store. The last five months I’ve spent most of my spare time working on this. I hope you’ll enjoy it. https://t.co/YJY9omBAPE

Working class academics:

Be proud of your roots, be proud of your accent, your dialect, your swears and be proud of the fact that you mispronounce words you have only ever read in books cos you never heard anyone say them. You’re on your way to something brilliant. We need you!

[Jonathan M. Pratt @jonpratt]

Beautiful and inspiring thread. Making me think about students, too - how might we help them being their gifts to the world...today. In class & school, not separate from, and not just after graduation.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

If you love something and you're willing to put in the work and meet the standards of excellence in an ethical way, why should age ever matter? Telling someone they're "too old" to do something denies their gifts to the world, and how dare any of us do that.

(And oh how my hair still had color... I’m definitely much more salt than pepper these days 🤣)

[Jonathan M. Pratt @jonpratt]

@mattcassinelli @amdev Love this stuff! I've done similar in some of my Workflows, see if the below gets you where you want to be.

@gcouros 3D printing and such is cool, but don’t forget about “old school” maker opportunities like sewing. Our library bought a few machines last year and they’ve been well-received by students.

[Matthew Cassinelli @mattcassinelli]

This is another reason why I’m excited about Shortcuts. The capability and access of programming is being made available to the masses, abstracted another level down to touch for the first time.

This is going to be fun to watch 🤖 https://t.co/22sAI6jPZw

[Jonathan M. Pratt @jonpratt]

@bryanhughes @settern Agreed, unfortunately. All that time spent teaching Ts & Ss how to use iTunes U ... and all the content they’ve developed there over the years. 😕 Hoping there’s a good plan for easy & reliable data export / port to Schoolwork.
