Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

Let's remember that synchronous tools are not the only option for warm, human discussion. Asynchronous tools like VoiceThread, Flipgrid, Pronto (all a mobile app too) are valuable for culturally responsive teaching & learning environments. #EquityOnline @DrLukeWood @Fharris3

We are a couple of hours into this unprecedented national experiment in remote teaching, learning, and working. The 1st lesson I have learned is that, at this point, you cannot over-communicate. Take 10 mins & send an email/video message to your students, your staff. It matters.

Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1

Forgive the self-promotion for a second but I’ve had no income since Christmas & there are things I can help with:
- online learning
- student support/engagement
- social media strategy
- effective remote working
If you want to float anything, however tentative, my DMs are open
