Such beautiful talks yesterday from Denise Newfield and Jennifer Rowsell - looking forward to hearing from Ana Oskoz today on L2 literacies in a multimodal, multilingual world and to talking with some of our presenters about their work.

Sharing a little good news

Feeling quite lucky for the group of people I have been able to work with and learn from as a language program director, including most importantly an amazing group of grad students.

It was so much fun to be back with an amazing group of language educators for our workshop today led by Melanie Mello. First CERCLL - UArizona Language Teacher Symposium since the beforetimes!

I know as an educator I am supposed to be mad at ChatGPT, but have any of ya'll with overthinking tendencies tried having it write first drafts of all your work emails? Amazing.

Tucson folx. Anyone want to come work with me and a great group of people? arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

I’m going to need this to be the new double feature with the Barbie movie.

Tucson - monsoon soon?

So grateful to all the educators, families, and other advocates who were out there today.

It's time again for me to remind you all how beautiful Tucson is in the winter!

For fall 2023, I am proposing Warner's Law (inspired by Godwin's Law), which posits that if any discussion of contemporary education continues long enough, someone will almost certainly mention ChatGPT. Prove me wrong, colleagues.

So excited to see this set on conversations come together in this piece - and excited for the discussions to come.

If you are in language education, make sure you check these out.

One fun thing about being gen x is that I’m still super excited that I can do things like buy movie tickets on my phone. What a world!

This workshop is filling up fast! Register soon, if you are interested.

Bloomsbury marketing reminded me that I wrote a whole book - and it released today! So thank you to their team for their support and for encouraging me to take a moment to celebrate. And super big thanks to all the awesome students who shaped this project. bloomsbury.com/us/multilitera…
