“There are no recipes, and there isn’t necessarily a ‘normal’ we’re going back to. We can’t slide back. We have to keep moving forward in caring for students.” - Nicole Weber, AVP of Learning at @OLCToday. Read the blog:

I got to spend the majority of the day on campus today for the first time in over a year and a half. I looked like a bag lady leaving my house! I'd totally forgotten how to go to work. "What if I get hungry? And my afternoon squishy drink! They don't have ice there..."

Shoutout to @whitneykilgore and @KripaSundar for the mental untangling sessions lately! Your calm encouragement has helped me to take shaky steps more confidently and think in new directions. (And if you 2 haven’t met yet then you should! You’re both incredible humans.)

Awesomely creative thread!

Is there anyone on my feed that would be willing to help me figure out how to word a research question that I have in mind? It's nebulous and I'm having a hard time working through to the actual question I'm getting at.

I advocate for innovative, impactful learning experiences. Online is one way to do it and in all ways we should be focusing on what's important.

Amen.

Totally just ran a digital escape room in my department meeting on Zoom and it was awesome! They broke out & I got valuable insight into their dynamics, collaborative style, and individual problem-solving. #OLCAccelerate

OK, who can talk to me about #IELOL in-depth? I've wanted to do it for years, but I need to get the real skinny on it. #OLCAccelerate

Ready to emBARK on another day of sessions! #OLCAccelerate #OLCPets

Trying to look up a session by presenter and for some reason can only remember their Twitter handle. @Tech_snacks wasn't listed in the program. Go figure. ;) #OLCAccelerate

I love that the sessions that I'm in have all been saying "screenshot this" because it's more about getting the ideas and momentum out there. #ShareTheLove #OLCAccelerate

Students of color faced incredible challenges with #onlinelearning during this pandemic. "We have a choice embrace change, think differently, and adapt" or go the way of the dinosaur - @Flowerdarby #OLCAccelerate Keynote #onlinelearning #k12 #highered #edchat

To my #OLCAccelerate peeps: I'm still happy to be in the virtual space with you all and sharing ideas. Imagine me dorky waving at you from across the room and accosting you at a snack area for hugs.

Warming my fingers up for #OLCAccelerate today!

When your session builds in a dance break and your kid and dog join in (webcam on). I think that they're famous now. #OLCAccelerate #OLCPets #DanceLikeNoOneIsWatching #EveryoneWasWatching
