In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
Iran
Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is also the National Day of Mourning, which remembers the genocide of millions of Native Americans and their ongoing erasure today.

Interesting discussion on #AIinHigherEd and #EdD #highered
I'm currently marking Law of the Sea take home exams and as an experiment asked ChatGPT if it could answer the question.

It produced a perfectly acceptable (if not brilliant) response to a carefully drafted question requiring a technical answer, rather than the guff which AI often produces.

"What I have learned from my activist teaching perspective is that I don’t have to enter the classroom and wear my activism on my sleeve. The professor must not crusade. All I have to do is let a group of great writers do the work."

I am so looking forward to #TheGreatAmericanTeachIn today. #GATI is not always about teaching careers but showing marginalized children that people like them can make it out of the hood or foster care. #K12
