An important perspective from George Couros. When we use #UDL, we are innovating but we don't need to get rid of all the old ways of doing things. There is still a place for explicit instruction in #UDL! #innovateinsidethebox georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/…

Go Cougs!

So thankful for our nutrition services team!!! Way to go PSD team!!

Security tips every teacher and professor needs to know about Zoom, right now arstechnica.com/?post_type=pos…

Can we all just replace our Zoom rules with one rule? Do what you need to learn. If that means you're hungry and need a snack, eat a snack. If you're more able to learn with your camera off, turn it off. If you just woke up and are in pajamas, I'm happy you're here.

Timely. Love the language of "strengthening" the teaching of reading. Not changing, improving or unlearning.
