I'm so stoked that #SnafuEdu will be part of the @oupress.bsky.social series Teaching, Engaging & Thriving in Higher Ed. Special thanks to @jamesmlang.bsky.social @michellemillerphd.bsky.social @derekkrissoff.bsky.social @liznorell.bsky.social. amzn.to/4kA8oDU

I had previously always considered myself a non-cursorial mammal, but I guess I was wrong. #rabbithole #pubmed #wordoftheday pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22442371/

Today I facilitated two workshops on #Neurodivergence, and my resounding takeaway is that people are more aware of their need for, and even hungry for, information to build more inclusive educational cultures. That's a big, big win, in case you were needing good news today.

The inaugural episode of Jim Lang's "Designed for Learning" podcast from Notre Dame is up—and features an interview with @michellemillerphd.bsky.social about her new book, "A Teacher’s Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It’s Hard, How You Can." learning.nd.edu/resource-lib...

This should be obvious but sometimes obvious things need to be said out loud: If you're not in the LA area, don't expect much out of folks there for the next several days except that they are going to be busy either surviving or trying to help their neighbors. www.cnn.com/weather/live...

I cannot wait for this book to come out. Pre-order now!

Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...

On Jan. 20 @ 12 ET, I'm hosting a (free) webinar to discuss George Washington's Farewell Address. If you'd like to take an hour to think about what our first president warned us about as he left office, register here: forms.gle/ubmxifpnTdAd...

I know I'm late to the game, but I finally read @thetattooedprof.bsky.social's book, Radical Hope. I starred so many passages, and found myself constantly nodding along and even saying "Yes!" aloud, too. What an important contribution to #HigherEd!

It still boggles my mind that only 66 years separate these photos.

I had the pleasure of writing an endorsement for @liznorell.bsky.social’s book, The Present Professor. Happy to see that many are already reading it. The timing is just right for this refreshing read, and the cover is gorgeous. I hope that it finds its way onto many reading lists. #Teaching

I loved collaborating with @readywriting.bsky.social on this column!! #AcademicSky #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

You're gonna love it! (I got mine nearly a month ago, for some reason)

When it was released, I honestly thought this book could transform how we approached issues of public policy, but despite much attention, it was never picked up as a way to frame the forces holding us back. I think it's still awfully relevant. bookshop.org/a/1793/97805...

It's time to start thinking about the end of the semester. Kristi Rudenga shared some ideas last spring in the @chronicle.com to make your semester end "with a flourish instead of a fizzle." www.chronicle.com/article/7-id...

Excited to share (for the first time ever on Bluesky!) my latest Substack post, this time on the way that incentives affect fatigue and focus over time: open.substack.com/pub/michelle...

Don't hesitate if you have thought about reposting my stuff!!!! (And I do try and repost plenty of other people's work, too, myself!)

The little kid who spent his summers in the local library in Hanover, PA would never have believed this...

This is articulated so well, Emily! And it's something that many of us can relate to. Perhaps this is one possible answer to the question: "What is LOST in #ungrading learning contexts?" #Ungradingchat

I'm thrilled to be working with @jamesmlang.bsky.social @derekkrissoff.bsky.social & @michellemillerphd.bsky.social, and honored that Snafu Edu will be published in the same series as @cjdenial.bsky.social's #PedagogyOfKindness & @liznorell.bsky.social's #ThePresentProfessor.

I’ve gained a lot of new followers in the last few weeks. Welcome! I write about pedagogy, #ungrading, and occasionally AI here and on my Substack: emilypittsdonahoe.substack.com. If you're looking for more of this...

We got LeVar Burton! 🥳

I've tried many forms, but my favorite would probably be called collaborative grading, where Ss mostly drive the assignment of their grade, in consultation with (and after discussion with) me. I give feedback regularly, but Ss should be in charge of assessing their actual learning. #UngradingChat

Today, I'm flashing back to the first email my dad ever sent me, some time around 1991. Went something like this: "Alert the press. Elephants are flying. Elvis is back. And tmiller is on email. Look out world. I'm on a roll. I'm going to Graceland." #missyoudad #greatexpectations #hello-world

Happy publication day to Michelle D. Miller for her new OU Press book, "A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It's Hard, How You Can"! (Note: that's the book in her left hand, and a poster—and not a supersized book—in her right!) #POD24

If you teach large classes, like 100’s of students, highly recommend this episode of #TeaForTeaching. Great details about choreography of active learning. Excellent advice about assessment, like giving students choice about who to work with, what to write about, and who to write for.
