As a person who doesn't own any e-reader and whose ears only work for music and conversation, I actually finished listening to this 50-min long podcast by @derekbruff Dr. Jenae Cohn (@[email protected]) ! This speaks volume! The insight shared was really applicable to me.

Many things to say about this!! Being online shouldn't *at all* impact what's possible for reading. Reading online gives us an opportunity to embark on a reading task with clear intention & purpose, to name what we want to do. Beverley Miles's whole thread is thoughtful here!

When one put a caring creative writing instructor @john_vigna and a caring educational development scholar @isabeauiqbal together, you get a beautifully crafted journal article on peer review of teaching: doi.org/10.1080/136014…

Thanks for @isabeauiqbal 's connection! I must confess that I still feel uncomfortable to talk about $$$ as an 'educator', my identity on Twitter. This further confirms the value of Dr. Emily Roberts | Personal Finance for PhDs 's work.

It is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER done! Expressed by a participant in a Teaching Philosophy Statement workshop UBC CTLT cofacilitated by @isabeauiqbal and @suehamp

Always so much to learn from our cohabitants on this planet Earth :)
