I just had a blast doing my first-ever workshop at the virtual ISTE conference! My session was entitled, "Digital Accessibility 101," & we used the acronym, C.H.I.L.L., to unpack five key digital accessibility topics: Color, Headings, Images, Links, & Lists. #ISTE #ISTELive #ISTELive24 #NotAtISTE

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on my final faculty workshop for the semester, entitled "Ending the Semester Well." We'll be exploring strategies through the lens of 4 Rs: Review, Reflect, Revise, & Reenter. #AlliterationIsMyJam #HigherEd #FacDev #EdDev

I just saw this Colgate commercial celebrating the beauty of gapped teeth, and it made my little gap-toothed self feel so seen. 💛 There are no words in the video, but the background music is a whistled version of Katy Perry’s song, “Roar.” youtu.be/Cijxcgfm7Gs?...

I just need to get through the next two weeks and then things will ease up: Or, Lies We Tell Ourselves

I'm attending the UDL 3.0 webinar, and I'm so excited about some of the proposed changes! "Nurture joy & play" YES! "Address biases in the use of language & symbols" YES! "Authentically represent a diversity of perspectives & identities" YES! #HigherEd #FacDev #EdDev #UDLGuidelines #CAST_UDL

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I LOVE the "Podcasts & Pedometers" professional development idea Emily Heller shared in a webinar today! Teachers go for a walk on campus while listening to an education podcast of their choice. Afterwards, they submit a short form about what they learned. #ProfDev #EdDev #FacDev #HigherEd

I just found out that one of the accessibility articles I wrote for Edutopia was cited in the U.S. Department of Education's 2024 National Educational Technology Plan! I'm citation #113 on page 59. 😊 See the thread for links to both resources! #EdTech #EdChat
