Well deserved. Mr. Burdick may not know this, but he still impacts the way I think & the way I view the world. I think his response would be, "Don't pin that on me!" x.com/sandburg/statu…

I put myself at the top of the list of people who have to author better proposals for #ISTE19 than I did for #ISTE18 . I have to get better at articulating the positive impact #OER has on the overall culture of learning within a classroom. I will. x.com/lpetrides/stat…

Big development on #OpenTextbooksFY19! Senate appropriators heard our call and included $5M for #OER in the Labor-H budget. Now let's make sure Congress keeps it it in the final bill when it comes up later this year. sparcopen.org/our-work/open-…

The $5M #OpenTextbooksFY18 pilot from Congress is moving forward, though a lot still remains to be seen. SPARC has recommendations for how U.S. Department of Education can achieve the greatest savings for students: sparcopen.org/wp-content/upl… washingtonpost.com/news/grade-poi…

Today the process begins to bring #NetNeurality to the Senate floor for a vote next week. We need just #OneMoreVote to restore net neutrality. Don’t let this critical issue fall to the wayside.
