@Rjeff24 Your comment about hearing aids on The Jump while making fun of Vince Carter’s AirPods is not cool! Check your ableism! Your viewers (with or without hearing difference) deserve better from you! Up your game!

@vermontedition Hoping we can ask Dan French about specific epidemiological metrics used by the state to transition schools from phase 2 to phase 3 or phase 2 to phase 1. “Downward trajectory for 14 days�� is vague and also lacks some consideration of what we are seeing nationally

Thanks to the help of a colleague’s brother, I now have access to @YouTube and my teaching channel again. Relieve, rejoicing, and headed to SXSW to see what’s next in #edtech

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

@TeamYouTube My school account for YouTube was terminated. Have no idea why. I’m a public HS science teacher!! Each day that passes negatively impacts my students by blocking access to material developed/curated for our class. This sudden termination is devastating!#edtechchat

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

Day 7 of @YouTube ignoring appeals. @TeamYouTube can you help a HS science teacher get her school account and years worth of work and content back? My students are suffering! #edchat #edtechchat #tech #Tech4All #ridiculous #YouTubeDOWN

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

@KatieNovakUDL @gcouros Can you help? For years I built and curated content on @YouTube. It's one of many resources in a physical & digital UDL classroom. My school account was termianted without explaination and we've lost all access. Can it be saved? Where do I build next?

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

@YouTube terminated my school account without warning and lost years worth of work, time, and energy in curated playlists, student support resources, and pesonalized lectures. Where do I rebuilt this scaffold? Not @ytcreators #edtech #edtechchat #Tech4All @VTEducation @ignitevt

"We need to embrace technology to make learning more engaging. Because when students are engaged and they are interested, that's where learning takes place.”
Hoping @YouTube @ytcreators can help address an algorithm error:terminated teacher account #edchat #tech #STEMeducation

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand... it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.”@dwarlick
Day 6 @YouTube has not addressed my appeal: algorithm flags teacher's account and terminates access to curated resources.

Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event.-Heidi-Hayes Jacobs
I was rocking this, until @YouTube @youtubecreat terminated my account w/o reason #Tech4All #EdTech @VTEducation @ignitevt

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.-Nancy Kassebaum
@YouTube @youtubecreat Inform me of why my account was terminated #edtech #Tech4All

[Theresa Akerley @takerleysbhs]

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important. @BillGates
HS Biology teacher blocked @YouTube without explanation; lost access to tool & content resources used for years #edtech #Tech4All #TechNews

Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Albert Einstein
Can’t imagine why @YouTube’s alogorithm flagged my teaching account, restricting total access to @YouTube, and blocking ability to see developed content and playlists. #teachers #TEACHers #teacherlife #TechTips

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy. - Marie Curie
@YouTube you don't make it easy for an educator to advocacte for their access back; luckily, I am no stranger to progress and perserverance, especially when it comes to helping my students! #edchat

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
I have lots of curiosity around the new algorithm @YouTube that flagged an ed account for destruction.

I didn’t want to just know names of things. I remember really wanting to know how it all worked. — Elizabeth Blackburn
Really wanting to know how the new algorithm @YouTube flagged a HS Biology Teacher's account for termination?!

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. ― Marie Curie

The saddest aspect of life right now is that it gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. ― Isaac Asimov
@YouTube is a tool for gathering and sharing knowledge with students. I wish I knew why it terminated my access
