130:365: CMAA
I had the honor of facilitating a professional development session with the Chinese Mutual Aid Association (CMAA) today. I was once told that CMAA is the second largest adult education provider in Illinois behind the City Colleges of Chicago. Billed as a Mobile Learning Design Slam, the following is the session description from the program:

128:365 | Keep Going
After spending the afternoon at the Maker Lab in the Chicago Public Library, I stuck around to see Austin Kleon during his Chicago stop on his press tour for his new book, Keep Going. I enjoyed his prior book (Show your Work) so much that I built an entire course around the major themes called

I spent a couple of hours today in the Chicago Public Library Maker Lab at the Harold Washington library. I joined the Digital Literacy Advisory Board (DLAB) members as we learned about the opportunities for adult learners. I made this keychain on the 3D printer!

As I prepare for my presentation this week, I’m doing a deeper dive into Remind, a messaging app used by educators to communicate with students and parents.

h/t to Tonia Dousay for her recommendation of Academic Writing for Graduate Students: Essential Tasks and Skills. She always has the best resources! Aside from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL), there aren’t a lot of great resources to help students make the transition to

123:365 | Instructional Genealogy
A thread on Facebook today reminded me of an assignment I had in graduate school. While it feels like about 3 months ago, this assignment was 11 years ago!! Based on my response, I’m guessing we were asked to trace the genealogy of our instructional philosophy. Here’s the exhibit I created to accompany my paper.

122:365 | Wakelet
Nothing like a presentation on tools to support learning to prompt a deep dive into the latest and greatest! Tonight, I stumbled on Wakelet, a super simple way to curate and display online content (e.g., articles, videos, images, tweets, text, etc.) on a shareable board that they call a “collection”. In the 2 minutes I
