Today I overheard one of my students talking to a friend about relationships. She said she hopes she'll find someone who respects her and is her equal. My student is 12. I see good things in her future. #teachinglife

Yeah. The next time I talk to my students about AI, I'm showing them this. 🤦

Critical thinking skills and building knowledge for yourself is still kind of important because Hal the Computer screws you sometimes.

Whoda thunk it?

Off to substitute teach in kindergarten today. Those little ones sure are cute, but exhausting! Thinking I may do my two days a week with my older kiddos 🤔 #retired #teachinglife

Back at it! The spring semester is here, and I’m ready to dive back into teaching biology. Today’s agenda: meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Here’s to setting the stage for a great semester ahead!

Flavor Flav crashing Green Day *again*? Is this performance art now? Or just…Flav being Flav? Either way, pretty sure my students would find this more engaging than fractions. #PopCultureShenanigans #GreenDay #FlavorFlav #TeachingLife

So much of teaching and lesson planning involves clicking on links, shifting course content, and adjusting deadlines. If feels like, at least today, that makes up about 50% of the job.

Live D&D shows are the *most* intense pop culture experience? Guess my students' fanfic readings are small potatoes. Still gotta grade 'em, though. Sigh. #PopCulture #Dimension20 #TeachingLife #DandD

Teaching is such a bright spot in my life. Spending time with students and helping them grow technically and professionally is a feeling that just can’t be beat.

The autumn semester with my students is (almost) finished. I will meet them again in 1.5 years when they defend their master’s theses. Seeing people grow smarter than you is very satisfying, receiving good words on your engagement - fulfilling. #EduSky #TeachingLife #Giving

I love my job. Students create an object in my intro to southern studies as a final project based on research. Student discovered face jugs and did an outstanding creating and contextualizing the object. Gifted the piece to me. #teachinglife #learning #southernstudies

I'm caught up on marking. This happens infrequently and fleetingly, so it's kind of a big deal. #teachinglife

Before-break days don’t have to feel chaotic.

Here are 5 ways learning communities stay calm, connected, and focused.

Which one will your team try this week?

Writing my post-tenure review, where I point out that I am now a department chair, run a university center, serve on one of the two elected faculty committees, and kept my teaching load the same. It might just be me, but I don't think I'm slacking post-tenure. #highered #teachinglife

Well, as much as I'd love to keep hyperventilating over the state of the world, these exams are not going to mark themselves. #teachinglife
