Hey all! I'm looking for great examples of university syllabi or templates. This could include examples of well-designed, visually appealing syllabi, or examples that demonstrate well-organized, accessible content, or examples that include well-crafted content, assignments, etc. Anyone? #edusky

One of my fav vids from the early web is Amateur by Lasse Gjertsen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzqu... It's a great demonstration of how tech (video editing in this case) can extend one's skills into another discipline. Here, someone who cannot "play" piano or drums is clearly still a musician. #edusky

As #edusky & other BlueSky teacher communities emerge, it's worth remembering that many educators left Twitter well before the Elon et. al toxicity period. Excessive self-promotion, lack of professional benefit, stress/burnout, noise, erosion of dialogue, etc. were all factors. Let's learn and grow.

I starting connecting w cMOOC originators in the late 2000s & joined the first #ETMOOC in 2013. That led to #CLMOOC & 11 years of interaction on Twitter. It's great to find you all gathering here. My focus continues to be on non-school #tutor #mentor programs reaching kids in high poverty areas.

For many of us #edusky is an attempt to revert to old-school Twitter. Maybe those who never experienced #oldschoolTwitter can share what it was like. I'll start: One time, I posted that I boiled ribs. Folks from TX lost their minds and ended up hosting an event at ISTE which was amazing. What else?

When I first followed you back in 2007–2010ish back on the bird that shall not be named, I hardly knew many of you. It’s surreal reconnecting and reflecting upon our shared networked histories, and feeling the positive need to reconnect to good people to rekindle/reinvent the magic that was. #edusky
