This group of facilitators for the #POD25 "Getting Started: Workshop for New Educational Developers" pre-conference workshop--they are amazing! (Shown here in action figure poses).
6 educational developers with varying heights, skin tones, ages, genders, and clothing choices pose as action figures.

The audience of educational developers at #POD25 cheered at @edufuturist.bsky.social ‘s comment that the only known solution to “the cheating problem” with AI is to “rethink assessment top to bottom.” Apparently, that’s not the usual response. 😂

Well, that explains a lot. Except I’d delete “sometimes.” @edufuturist.bsky.social speaking at #POD25. Slide with text: tl;dr - Things are getting weirder. And, sometimes, harder.

I'm catching up on the work of a truly gifted writer with whom I've lost touch in recent years. This essay is still deeply, sadly relevant now. "On Being a Parent Amid this Latest Anti-trans Violence" by Eric LeMay. ericlemay.org/On-Being-A-P...
Section from an essay by Eric LeMay, with illustrated gift and stars following the text: "Right now, our rights are being taken from us. Right now, our children are being taken from us. Right now, our lives are being taken from us. And so right now, in the midst of this violence and knowing the violence still to come, I want you to know what know in my soul: you are a gift."

To all conference attendees everywhere, please never decline a mic. The loudness of a voice is not the only thing that makes it intelligible and so some of us cannot hear you regardless of how well you project. This is my 11th year of tweeting this plea at various conference #POD24

Finally watched #InsideOut2 on the plane to #POD24. Love! Pitch for Inside Out 3 — Menopause! New characters include Hot Flash, Brain Fog, Unapologetically Present, Zero F****, Self Care, and What Is My Body Doing Now. Who’s got a Pixar connection?

In many discussions lately, both very local and very large-scale, I'm reminded that wellbeing for faculty and wellbeing for students need to go together, not be in opposition. Here's a little article I helped write along those lines... #EduSky #wellbeing #HigherEd doi.org/10.1080/0009...
