Recommended long weekend reading: Centering the Margins Through Critical Instructional Design from @HybridPed …the ID landscape is SO tricky but also there is still hope. https://t.co/dHsRQm7Le7
“…less a roadmap to best practices in instructional design, and more an invitation into a learning community that trusts faculty to engage thoughtfully with the complexities of course design.” So excited to read these + share with my own ID team. https://t.co/z9kEHDaqxu
just spent a delightful 20 minutes looking back through dissertation post-it note pics to send/help out a friend. note to self: recording process feels kinda lame + amorphous in process but SO helpful once you're done to trace back the journey
Things that have happened in the last month: bought a house, sold a house, moved a house, got braces, and had a tooth extracted. Champagne is clearly necessary.
proudest weekend accomplishment: deep cleaning + repainting windows so they now look (almost) new. yep, moving to a 109 yr old house is next level adulting.
in positive news….today, unlike yesterday, I managed to get dressed without tangling my braces in my clothing. related: when you have wires in your mouth, jumpsuits are even more your besties.
yesterday I got braces on my teeth. pretty sure adding “obsessive oral hygiene” to my current pandemic levels of “obsessive hand washing” means 1/3 of my day will now be spent at my sink.
Things you rediscover whilst packing ALL the things: your salad-plate sized Calgary Stampede belt buckle given to you by a dear friend.
This is why moving periodically actually IS worth the stress.
