@dfshand Found that nihilists wore blue spectacles, the opposite of convention, it would seem. Strange! https://t.co/ggRzcE5cxt

[Judith Van Alstyne @jvbooks]

@dfshand Yes. Struck enough to search for it and find your tweet. :) Why blue, I wonder?

Eight months into the pandemic, as new cases are breaking records, we need an administration that’s not going to wave the white flag. A year ago today, @JoeBiden was talking about the leadership we need to get prepared for a pandemic, and he’s got a plan to get it under control.

Missing everyone at AC Leap! Stay safe! The pigeon told me to tell you all to keep reading! :)

[Summer LEAP @SummerLEAP]

AC Leap cares about the social, emotional, and physical health of our students and familes. Healthier students are better learners.

Check out the positive messages from Ms. Rodriguez's 4th grade class!

Thank you @longformpodcast for making space for @kiernamayo and @SpeakPatrice who have made space and continue to make space for black journalist voices and black voices everywhere. Enlightening! Thank you, thank you.

I just quit Facebook. Which I never liked anyway, but felt like I should. (Never blamed anyone who truly enjoyed!) But @AkilahObviously just said to quit Facebook and I’d follow her anywhere! It felt great! Thanks for the push!

@Anniesk @kaaauthor @ACSRochester Miss you too! ❤️

@Rohrbachs @heads_three Any chance you'll be brewing more of that "conference call collab" for those of us who were staying home with our cats instead of snapping up all the Kind Kitty as it blew through Wegmans last Thursday? I was SO looking forward to it...

Have no fear, Super Chef is here! We might not all be together in the dining hall, but Super Chef is still logging on to encourage us to try new foods and continue our healthy eating!

What if we did away with the daily/weekly online learning plans for students and instead asked them to choose their own learning (learn how to cook, a new instrument, how to ride a bike, etc)? They could share their progress and we could ‘zoom into or ‘hang out’ as their mentors?

[Tracy Schuhmacher @RahChaChow]

Loved this.

For all you folks stuck at home in the coming weeks. from Monday, at 6pm GMT / 2pm EST / 11am PST
I will be reading one of my books every weekday, and talking about some of the things that went into making it.
We are all at home, but none of us are alone.
Let’s be bored together.

[Lauren Tarshis @laurenTarshis]

Librarians I would love to figure out a way to do some kind of virtual event with your readers. Maybe a fb live where I read the first chapter of my almost finished I Survived? I’m not sure how it would work. Would love to partner with some of you @ontheshelf4kids @linkladies15

[Judith Van Alstyne @jvbooks]

Moving your course online this weekend? Let this great podcast be your compass, providing direction and inspiration for your teaching! Thank you, Jake! ⁦@ILAToday⁩ ⁦@URLiDACenter⁩ ⁦@ACSRochester⁩ https://t.co/NIfV3OCfRK

This Thursday, February 6, at 2pm in LeChase 481, @jvbooks and @eileend will be leading a session on learning Zotero and how to join the LiDA Bibliography group! #DigitalLearning

Today is the birthday of John Dewey, an early proponent of experiential learning. Rejecting the idea of education as the rote memorization of facts, he argued that learning is interactive and that students should have a role in constructing their own learning.

Raffaella (our executive director) at it again! So many productive conversations happening #DigitalEducation
