3 days till Spring holidays!
I haven't had the stamina or energy to touch a wip for weeks, but with back to back days to rest, and give my and fatigue a kicking, I hope to return to next week 😄

I'm glad to be at the stage of recovery where my body only falls apart after 8-9 weeks of (used to be 5 🙃). This term is a huge improvement on last year!

First class with my students in German linguistics this morning, I have a bad cold, can barely talk, and blocked my neck--the semester can begin! 😵‍💫

Is there like, a teacher BBS or something?

10 years ago, teacher Twitter was extremely helpful to me. There's the hashtag here, which is nice, but are most people still on X? Or worse, Facebook?

Trying to build that side of my timeline back up. Boots appreciated along with recommendations of who to follow.

I'm reposting some info from my 1st year seminar I am going over this week in case people haven't seen it:

This super cool video is of the Antikythera Mechanism built from Lego, including how it works! This ancient computer which tracked eclipses and important calendar dates is from Greece circa 100 BC. The original is more accurate and performed the same calculation with less pieces.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

Do diversity trainings work?

This chapter argues that's the wrong question. Diversity training are efforts to teach. Like all teaching, we need to consider the trainings content, goals, practices & trainee needs.

Then, we can design effective trainings

I'm feeling this lately in my day job (I'm the Curriculum Lead of an internal education program at Google), but I think it'll resonate with anyone who works in education.

A thread on fairness in instructing. I think we do a terrible job training new instructors on what it really looks like to be fair. When I started as a new assistant professor, I was very concerned about being fair.

But, I didn’t think it was possible to be compassionate to students and also be fair.

This is because I saw any act of compassion to one student would be unfair to other students.

I no longer think this is true. Here’s why. 1/🧵

An illustration, a couple of exercises, and an example comparing references in C++ and Java (and Python). ☝️

(This is also when I wish more students were on Mastodon/Fediverse. I don't know but we need to collectively work on that.)
