@AshreethaMurug1 what a great teaching tool. I hope it leads to more civilized discourse. #naucche590spring2020

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

That's a good point @oneal_thom. Faculty may be in vulnerable populations and have families to take care of too. #naucche590spring2020

[Thom ONeal @oneal_thom]

Interesting perspective. #naucche590spring2020

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

Despite out ability to move online, will we able to draw those students in come fall? #naucche590spring2020 https://t.co/erm0qtOpBh

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

First generation students need the extra support provided by face to face interaction. I hope we can find a way to support them through this. @NAUJacqueline #cchecreateit

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

A laptop with a 10-hour-battery can do a lot, but it can’t change this: School shutdowns have disconnected vulnerable students from a hub, a routine, and a face-to-face support system that helps them overcome barriers to college. https://t.co/1GUz79RrDB

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

First generation students are on the top of my list. @NAUJacqueline #cchecreateit
Presidents' biggest COVID-19 worries? Low-income students and colleges' financial strain https://t.co/YIC2G52U5K

@bcarrier9147 @sean18144672 Wow! What an interesting trend. #naucche590spring2020

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

There have been so many great resources I've come across throughout this @Rogers1990Mr . So nice to see all the crowdsourcing. #naucche590spring2020

[Mr.Rogers1990 @Rogers1990Mr]

Love what some of these companies are doing to support in home learning. #naucche590spring2020

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

It is @oneal_thom. Everyone is so on edge because of all the uncertainty. #naucche590spring2020

[Thom ONeal @oneal_thom]

Waiting is the worst...

I wish this were so, but so much of website design in higher ed is geared toward recruiting and not so much supporting current students. #cchecreateit @NAUJacqueline

[UCF Graduate Studies @UCFGradStudies]

A UCF study recently published in Metropolitan Universities indicates a need for university websites to better communicate with first-generation college students.

Mutual aid societies have a long history. I'm sad that it has come down to this but it's encouraging to see students self-organizing. #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Call it crowdfunding or an alternative support system, students are raising money for themselves and their peers after the Covid-19 outbreak. https://t.co/CQ6iukJbab

@jessie_hester This is such a great illustration of the need to vet technology and ensure it actually meets our needs.:-) #naucche590spring2020

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

@coffeeandmolars @NAUJacqueline The technical colleges in Wisconsin jusy got waivers from the stay at home order so that we can continue training for our health professions. Shows the vital role we play. #CCHEcreateit

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

We are lucky to have the technology to be able to do this now. But is it just adding another stressor on our incoming students to require the SAT? #naucche590spring2020

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

The pandemic wiped out SAT dates this spring. Now the College Board has a new plan for meeting “pent-up demand.” https://t.co/FDuYMyU9Yu

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

This is a frightening reality with no clear way of knowing when schools will be able to reopen. #naucche590spring2020

[Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered]

9% of all presidents said they could see their college closing or merging within 5 years. Because of COVID-19, we will probably see an acceleration and exacerbation of this trend #IHEprez

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

This says slot about the need for self reflection as leaders. #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

[Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered]

77% of presidents report that race relations are "good" or "excellent" on their own campus but only 19% say the same for race relations on U.S. campuses as a whole #IHEprez

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

As our stay at home order has just been extended and erased any hope of having any in person classes for spring, we must now look ahead to help our students needing practical skills back on track. #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline https://t.co/tUQJ3mmcfY

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

This is something we've been struggling with. Our students have worked hard to get to graduation and need to be recognized despite our circumstances. Any ideas out there? #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

🎓 Graduation is a time to celebrate in educator @Rach1970Wyatt's school community – and she's looking for ways to take the celebration online!

What ideas might you share for creating a virtual graduation ceremony? #InstantPD #CelebratED #EdChat #ClosedNotClosed

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

@AZTrumpeter @NAUJacqueline I wish the bill had included some relief for borrowers beyond the postponement of payments. #CCHEcreateit

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

@sonyaske @NAUJacqueline It's so important to evaluate these tools for their usefulness. I've heard of departments using multiple platforms which means out students are being asked to learn multiple platforms on top of the added stressors.

[Saul Castillo @WiscoSaul]

@Ashleigh_Who @NAUJacqueline Testing has long been a contentious issue with some colleges even dropping the requirement. I wonder if this will add to the movement for holistic evaluation of students.
