@Jarsen Happy Apple. It has chimes inside that sound cool when you tilt it. And you can feel the vibrations in your hands.

@300lbsGastric @RightWingCope We don’t do it in the arts either.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@nayrbgo Or we could write assignments in ways that AI generation won’t work.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@fermentedlands You taught so well that you snuck the learning in. Bravo!

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@tremblebot Much love to you in this new year. So. much. love.

@Ms_PEnglish @heymrsbond That implies that their parents understand social media. Similar reasons for we started teaching high schoolers about sex. Their parents weren't.

@IAmLeoGlaze @heymrsbond I'm almost 50 and I wrote mine, lol. I think it's more about familiarity and comfort level.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@heymrsbond I cover SM literacy in my public speaking class. College level, but I always take a day to talk about just this as well as the way back machine, the fact that Twitter is in the Library of Congress, and how their phones track them. It's not anti-anything. Just facts.

When we disconnect the education of storytellers from the products we love, we all lose. You can't claim that a performance degree is a waste of money the whole time you're binge-watching Supernatural for the 4th time.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

The storytelling industry is massive and one of the single most frequent interactions in most people's day to day lives. YouTube, streaming services, books and stories, social media, and advertising all fall in this category. It is a job market.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

Community colleges are the great education equalizers. We are balancing trade and transfer. Now to fully embrace the arts and storytelling and we will be a total package.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@ClassIssuesInWR @GiftedTawk @HelenBaumander That's too bad. Most US community colleges are a great mix of academic transfer courses and trade education/certification. I love the diversity of our students and faculty, our campus, and our community partnerships!

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@ClassIssuesInWR @GiftedTawk @HelenBaumander That’s community colleges. You’re describing community colleges.

@Failwhip Some sort of 1000 related challenge?

@DonkeyShaunJr @ElectricAdri My preference is to design assignments that make plagiarism difficult. My institution uses detection software but not the insanely priced one. We confer degrees and that is based on an expectation of work completed according to the guidelines.

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@DonkeyShaunJr I am honestly not sure what you're asking. Proper citation isn't plagiarism. I'm not sure what you mean by "no better way or better question to ask."

@arhourigan Mine is “It ain’t a mo no mo. It’s a sto mo no. The five oh don’t even know bro.”

[Michelle Stephens @mstephen]

@johnccarver I believe they start in jr high.
