There are few things more illustrative of my growth as an online instructor. Now: Students are given the outcomes to demonstrate and can demonstrate them in the modality of their choice. Then:10 years ago there would have been a page of "you must" which would never allow by hand

This kid..... amidst the pile of other responsibilities she has, she managed to pull of a season of long rehearsals. Sold out opening night. Proud mom moment.

An instructor forwarded me (with permission) a student email. Great way to start my semester! "......I was able to find this laptop for nearly the same price as most textbooks so I must thoroughly thank you for making this class' textbook free.” #OER #gotigers Reedley College

Reason number 1 million why I love #OER, I can legally use content from a geology book in a book for infant toddler caregivers!

Am I allowed to be simultaneously ecstatic for her and devastated she will be so far away. There's a whole lot of distance between California's central valley and England.

As I spend my second complete semester applying mastery based and #ungrading principle. I'm realizing more and more the correlation between good assessments and my enjoyment reading them and giving feedback. The ones I dread are the ones I always need to change

We had 10 days to figure out how to use $2000 in airline vouchers. Approaching 20 years of marriage and we've never done a big vacation without our kids so..... here's home for the next 5 days.

Yesterday Reedley College held its 1st annual Signapalooza. A Partnership between the ASL and music department. FANTASTIC and inspiring. The short video below is the grand finale with 4 interpreters signing "we don't talk about Bruno". MC was done completely in ASL!

In 1956 while in HS, my grandfather started a car club. He still drives to car shows (white Ford is his). The club is still active and meet at his house every week. He might be the coolest grandpa ever.

I can't believe I have a high school graduate, proud of what's she accomplished and looking foward to her futureof advocacy work. Her valedictorian speech simply took my breath away. youtu.be/xQvvz8uZan0

One of the best decisions I've ever made as a prof is to start building my classes to start with 1 week of onboarding followed by just 12 weeks of content. Last 2 weeks are just catchup and reassessment. Course is basically over at Thanksgiving.
