It's magic when at risk (low $) students enroll in a #ZTC class (w/free textbooks). They enter an anti-humiliation zone - where they know they'll have the same learning materials as wealthier students. They are seen. I'm so proud of California Community Colleges & the brilliant Gavin Newsom!

Zero textbook cost degrees and open textbooks are a game changer for ALL college students, especially those struggling financially. California Community Colleges have an incredibly opportunity before them.

The Time on Task feature is now live on ADAPT. Soon to be integrated into the Learning Analytics dashboard (along with #OER textbook student activity). More about that later.

The U.S./European alliance is critical to the preservation of freedom and democracy. I'm grateful to Sorbonne University for this invitation to help renew those ties in Paris next week. Our task: to prove that free societies remain the best hope for economic security. #freedom

Seen today's front page news about the US restricting certain military-related semiconductor sales to China? I wrote a similar story *33 years ago*! The more things change the more they stay the same. Including, I fear, the results (or lack therof). inc.com/magazine/19890…

Actually Elon Musk in California the transportation authorities are rolling out a different approach. The rich go fast while everyone else waits in the slow lane. They call it "dynamic pricing" & it's taking over our "freeways" turning them into "payways." #WaronThePoor #Fastrak

For millions of students, transportation is a significant barrier. With the infrastructure legislation, communities and states can improve public transit.Thanks to the Haring-Smith Foundation for leading the way forward on transit solutions for college. chronicle.com/article/one-fl…

THREAD: CROWD SIZE: Okay look. For years now, Donald and the GOP have been lying about crowd size. They’ve been lying about how many people call them and tell them they love them. They’ve been lying about the size of their fan base. There’s a reason for this. 1/

This is so despicable. Folks, I love my union made GM Chevy Bolt EV. It's a great car! Added bonus: buying one undermines a pernicious and odious billionaire who is spewing poison into public spaces.
