Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year. Y'all this isn't sustainable.

Thanks for the kind words Martin! Anyone interested can find the open access book at modernstatisticswithr.com and/or get physical copies where books are sold (the second edition, published by Chapman & Hall last year, has a different cover than the first edition seen in the image).

All practice guides are in the public domain. Just in case... osf.io/dk4r5/

Love this idea. 2025 goals

📣 I am excited to co-edit a book w/ Fabrice Jaumont on embracing the imperfection of language learning. Do you have a story, a case study, a biography that challenges the paralyzing "gold standard" of achieving native-like fluency in an L2? For submission guidelines, visit calec.org/2024/11/28/b...

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

🔥NEW ARTICLE🔥 I LOVE observation research and thinking about how to do it well. @kimberlymcfadden.bsky.social & I wrote about its importance for improving outcomes for students with IDD and some things we've learned along the way. 1/ Available open access in JARID: dx.doi.org/10.1111/jar....

Excited to share this just 1 day before I leave for #NCTE24! Cati and I were honored to write the intro to the special issue of English Journal titled “Decentering the E in ELA”. 🤩 Lmk if you need access. Hope to see some of you in Boston!

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.

A great article for kids (and adults!)

Alt text prompt Qs: What would someone who can't see the image need to know about it in order to take part in the conversation? What is it about this image that made you choose it? What are the important details someone who could see the image would take away from it? (Not for images of text.)

I just scrolled #EduSky for a few minutes and counted how many images used alt text vs those that did not. Only 17 images had alt text whereas 36 did not. This means our community is not accessible to blind users or others who use screen readers. We have a lot of room for improvement. 🧵

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a special ed prof primarily interested in literacy for multiply marginalized students with dis/abilities. I spend most of my free time with family, watching TV, or reading. Happy to see both new and familiar faces over here and hoping to post more!

PSA for newbies: Please include ALT text on your images. This is an inclusive space for blind and visually impaired people. Don't arrive late to the party and ignore a bunch of people. Also, please share this skeet, rather than liking it, to ensure the message gets delivered. Thanks!
