On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, it's up to all of us—especially men—to speak up about women's equality, challenge gender assumptions and stereotypes, and honor women's accomplishments. Proud to celebrate #IWD2021 today and recommit to fighting for full equality.

Well, this is a bit of a unfortunate occurence...

Is my personality primarily me trying to prove that when I say that like country music I mean country outside of the early 2000s nationalism fest and 2000s-10s boozed up bro country? I'm pretty sure it is, but I can't exactly prove it

TIL Fresca has been around since at least the late 60s AND that it was one of LBJ's favorite drinks? Wild.

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

LBJ had a dedicated request system in Oval Office for delivery to him of Fresca, which he called “Fresco."

@tlvalentine18 Alright this has now given me my challenge for work over break: make pizza flavored pizza

@saxhero75 @JoeBiden I'd encourage you to watch this if you want to hear his stance on violence/aggression in response to acts of brutality. https://t.co/Qjh2yKFN9L

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Once again, a Black man — Jacob Blake — was shot by the police. In front of his children. It makes me sick.

Is this the country we want to be?

Needless violence won’t heal us. We need to end the violence — and peacefully come together to demand justice.

@AmandaD47003114 I wonder if this teacher could potentially transfer this back into the classroom by recording herself reading multiple books, and then have different stations in the classroom where students could have more variety in choosing what book(s) they want to have read to them.

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

This teacher is showing dependability by providing some of his students with an online resource for bettering themselves as musicians! #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

Clarinetists this is for you! @BlacksburgBand

@MMaloney992 I noticed that in our conversations with each other about our educator's fake Facebook profiles that we didn't get much of a chance to discuss their educational philosophies and achievements, so I am hoping we will discuss those sometime this week! #05Sp2020 #EDUC300

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

This is an image of an essentialist classroom, as all of the students are seated in rows and paying attention to the teacher. #05Sp2020 #EDUC300

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@BeccaKassel I had a conversation in my group that pertained to not only how there would be under-staffing in the schools due to poverty, but also a lack of retention of quality educators who would be more inclined to look elsewhere for better pay and conditions. #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@knight_laniejo Lanie Joe, the structure of having flexible seating makes the classroom function more efficiently as well. #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@KEmenecker Kyrsten, I also have to think that the players having specific positions makes a clear structure to the football team. #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

The article I found is about the JMU MRDs and their trip to Rome in 2015. And while the students in the MRDS may have changed since then, the level of organizational structure & clarity needed in a group of 450+ people has not changed. #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

Well, looks like I'm going to be tweeting some about my education class this semester. #EDUC300 #05Sp2020

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@samualo4 I think that it will be a struggle to overcome younger children's tendencies to notice and belittle those that are less capable in general, regardless of whether or not the belittled individual has any disabilities. That said, schools starting young with inclusion would help.

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@FrilouxLaura If it is more intended to be interactive/entertaining than informative, then yes, it certainly can be used as a teaching tool

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

@tyree_mekhi While not necessarily a class, I think advocating for schools to start a United Sound club would certainly be a step in the right direction towards having music instruction specifically for students with disabilities.

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

Has there been any recent increase in education/training for music educators on how to better include students with disabilities in the classroom since Hammel and Hourigan's "Teaching Music to Students with Special Needs: A Label-Free Approach" was published? #JMUMusTech

[Trevor Albright @trevbone208]

In what other ways besides open-ended experimentation could teachers consider introducing their students to DAWs while still facilitating a similar level of creativity in the learning process as open experimentation? #JMUMusTech
