We’re conducting a research study on how generative AI can help create illustrative diagrams to support mathematical problem-solving in open educational resources (OER). #oer

Being married to a Marine is so weird wdym it’s my husband’s 250th birthday today? Semper fi! Proud today and always for his service. #marinecorpsbirthday

Slide for my child development class today. Too subtle?

Please admire this beautiful water color painted of my panel presentation today at Open Education #opened25

As Open Access Week wraps up, I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at #OpenEd25 in Denver next week! I'll be presenting three times at the conference, plus an extra pre-conference workshop intended for newcomers to the field of open education.

No kings! Protect education. Veterans against Trump. Grand Forks, ND. Costumes just for fun 🌈

Volunteering at our church’s booth for pride and the person in charge of friendship bracelets is sick. No need to fear, I’ve been preparing for this moment for years! #swiftie

Look at this amazing thank you gift from my recently graduated PhD advisee! #swiftieprofessor

This cross stitch of Taylor Swift is AMAZING! #mnstatefair

Now I’m looking up funfetti sourdough making with the rest of the internet when I have courses to prep. Thanks Taylor 🙄😂 #swiftie #itsaloafstory

Undergraduate students see the value of authentic engagement with real audiences, but not Creative Commons. Read more about these themes identified in interviews of 25 students here. jofdl.nz/index.php/JO...

I make daily lists for my teen swiftie 🧂 💨 #august #taylorswift

Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the long term it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths. www.commondreams.org/news/doge-wa...

I love teaching with open textbooks because then I can cut this kind of nonsense and add what's important to learning child development. #oer #freudsucks

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Have you heard of college courses with Taylor Swift or other popular culture icons or themes in the name? And wondered what students think of them? I decided to test this in an experimental study. 1/N Full article: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

No MNDNR, I will not “enjoy the moment” if I see a bear. I will panic 🐻 😱 At Lake Itasca #minnesota

Me: my study is published! Husband: what’s it about? Me: student perceptions of courses incorporating popular culture Husband: so Taylor Swift? He knows me so well 🫶 #swiftie #sotl #openaccess #collegeteaching #studentmotivation www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I am excited to share my latest publication, co-authored with Oya Pakkal and Xiaoyang Xia, on the multi-year impact of Canada's first Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) degree programs, at my former institution Kwantlen Polytechnic University. #OER #OpenEducation #OEP #ZTC openpraxis.org/articles/10....

AERA and 10 other education research groups urge Education Department leaders to act immediately to ensure the Civil Rights Data Collection for the 2025-26 school year. Read the letter: www.aera.net/Portals/38/U...

Starting to see consequences from the mass cancellations and firings at ED. A month ago, I reported about a missed June 1 deadline for a statistical report. Now NAEP science scores are delayed...https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-delay-release-naep-science/

While Trump throws an authoritarian-style military parade/birthday party for himself in DC, we the people will be participating in over 1000+ counter protests nationwide. Find a “No Kings,” protest near you on June 14th by visiting 🔎 nokings.org

Man it really sucks when someone just takes your government funding away out of nowhere on a whim

Inclusive access is such a scam #oer

IT’S DEBUTATION LIBERATION DAY! 💚 🖤

Me watching the AMAs

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

The question isn’t whether people like my daughter have something to offer. It’s whether society is finally ready to stop measuring value with the wrong scale. Autism doesn’t destroy families. Ignorance does. Isolation does. Shame does.

How’s your day going 🙃

Today is May Day. If you can, please join in on a protest in your area. Do not spend money anywhere but a mom and pop shop. We must continue to show our displeasure with this administration. Keep up the pressure. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

In case you were wondering how I feel about the corporate bookstore at my campus….here you are #oer

Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

I presented at #AERA2025 today about our new framework for open education research emphasizing social justice. Here’s an example of a study using the framework about students paying to access homework

Research ethics boards have banned using private gmail accounts to communicate with research participants. Even for minimal risk studies like solving math problems with different kinds of visual supports. But whatever for national security I guess

Julie Lazzara and I will be talking about renewable assignments/open pedagogy as part of the University of Technology, Sydney's Open Education week! educationexpress.uts.edu.au/events/open-...

It’s the first day of spring and I woke up to 25 years of sobriety. Recovery is possible 🌺 #odaat

I called my member of congress to ask who enforces IDEA now that the Office of Civil Rights in the US Department of Education has been closed. The protocol for complaints is still described online as through the OCR. This is not efficiency. This is dereliction of duty. www.ed.gov/laws-and-pol...

Happy Mario Day to all who celebrate 🎉
