“Turnitin monetizes student intellectual property and contributes to a culture of suspicion in education.” I’m quoted in a recent article from @themarkup @CalMatters and @chronicle https://t.co/3J3f9m9L5B

Colleges and universities renew Turnitin subscriptions year after year even though its flawed detectors are expensive and require students to let the company keep their papers forever.

It’s been almost two years since I’ve written something entirely new about ungrading. Really glad to have this out in the world. It’s a simple piece but it gets to some incredibly practical aspects of this work that I haven’t written about before.

Ungrading inspects the inequities of schooling, asks hard questions of the structures of our schools, and offers a critique of the labor conditions for teachers at all levels of education.

Professors- what activities/ books etc do you keep on hand in case kids (toddler/ preschool age) visit your class with their parents? I’ve got a couple animal books and bubble wrap to pop plus white board markers, but seeking other ideas! Thank you! #RealCollege

Is grading doing us or our students any favors? Or do grades short circuit the rich, messy human interactions that are so important to meaningful learning? Check out our latest episode of Higher Listenings with @Jessifer to hear why breaking our addiction to grades may be easier

I always wonder how other #highered experts approach their own kid’s #college process… So I wrote a little about ours.
