120 Harrison fifth graders are visiting @CMU_Libraries today to learn about the collections, technology, history, fake news, and much more. Next up, @CMUWBBall game. #HoopsForHunger #ClubLIBcmich #FireUpChips #Team52

Zoe and I get to help give away $75,000 today at @CMUNVC. Fortunately, not out of our personal accounts. Very impressive event.

For anyone watching, listening or reading the news. Courtney and I are ok.

You're not going to believe what kind of activity is happening between faculty and students at CMU! https://t.co/0qPWxr4Ruu This is how I'd post this if it were click bait. It's not. It's a great piece about great people and things happening at CMU. #activelearning #edtech

[Brian A. Roberts @rober1ba]

I am very fortunate to work with such ACTIVE faculty, many of which have become good friends. We're doing some good stuff at @CMUniversity. https://t.co/0qPWxr4Ruu

Interviews for a new student assistant begin today. Fingers crossed to find "the one" that can carry torch into the future. I've been VERY lucky to have had great staff in the past who have graduated and become good friends. @mcvanarsdale @AlyDarinPhoto & twitterless Alyssa.

Presented workshop on @RemindHQ & was surprised how resistant faculty were to considering using. Honestly, I think it's the name. Encountered serious theme of "I told them. They need to know how to remember things on their own." Name change, perhaps? Communicate, Connect, other?

[Brian A. Roberts @rober1ba]

@AnthonyFeig The one being asked, although there are plenty of folks I'd like to ask this question to.

Kicking of the 1st ever college symposium w/ @cmucba faculty & a keynote about millennial and gen z learners by Dr. Carolin Rekar Munro. Excited to hear the conversations throughout & after.

[Brian A. Roberts @rober1ba]

Just typed up a recap of what I've been up between 12/1 and today. Ugh. Project #1 for next week = student assistant interviews.

[Brian A. Roberts @rober1ba]

Hey, I'll be there too talking about how @cmucba faculty can consider using @RemindHQ & @Twitter as part of their teaching and learning. Too bad we're presenting at the same time; your topic sounds VERY interesting. https://t.co/4MSKfItxbw

[Jessica Wicks @jwicksmidmich]

Take back your time! Talk efficiency in design, grading, & feedback with me at @cmucba symposium this Friday.

Included in a colleague's #syllabus. "If you have to miss a class period you have to provide a doctor’s writ, funeral notice, or police writ. Only then you will be able to make up the quiz or other graded assignment." Dear professor, um, last night... #college

Just realized @kvv925 hails from Oconomowoc. Small world. I was born & raised in Watertown. So, we're sworn athletics enemies. #GoGoslings

U r surrounded by Universal Design in daily life & u probably don't even realize it. Is it enough? How can u be more accommodating? #mtwt17

How I feel after being on the road for a week of back to back conferences. Looking fwd to taking info back to campus #engage2017 #mtwt17

[Brian A. Roberts @rober1ba]

Libraries & encyclopedias were full of knowledge, but you had to go to them. Internet comes to you. AND, it has cat videos. #mtwt17
