Reach out to us! (I’m easy to find out there.) We can chat through it and get you connected to others who are thinking about this.

@nycuratrix.bsky.social Thank you so much for reading our 📕 and engaging with the ideas! You’re right: The struggle to save/reinvent our #educational institutions will require all of us.

What It Means to ‘Hack College’ It’s about student engagement, sense-making, and the nature of learning.

Today in The Edge, @carlsonics.bsky.social lays out why the college major may not be the best organizing principle for students--and what might be better. @hopkinspress.bsky.social @chronicle.com

Cover of the book “Hacking College: Why the Major Doesn’t Matter - and What Really Does”

Just finished “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Scott Laff. Should be required reading of all in higher education as we collectively fight to survive so that our country survives.

It’s not even Chanukah but the first gift arrived, thanks to “Hacking College” co-author Scott Carlson. I’m so psyched to dig into this important book on making college more meaningful and valuable for students.
And hey @JHUpress: nice cover too.

This was a really interesting interview

Writing in the Age of AI The author John Warner discusses why “writing is thinking.”

I sort of forgot that @carlsonics.bsky.social and I were talking for an interview, so I got a little free in this one, but I stand behind everything, and it was fun to kick around the implications of the ideas in More Than Words. www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t...

It was a pleasure to chat, as always!

😂 I know of one!

I hate social media, but if you're a writer, artist, creator, etc., it's all about this. So I'm here for a while.
