a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

Teach like a Luddite - Kappan Online Embracing new technologies that donโ€™t advance teaching and learning is a mistake. Educators must ask questions โ€” and resist when necessary.

Teach like a Luddite! In which I join @philnichols.bsky.social and @anterobot.bsky.social to argue for a Luddite praxis in education grounded in three elements: embracing strategic playfulness; developing localized tactics; and building networks of resistance. Read the article at Kappan:

#literacies folks, my institution is hiring for Fall 2026. Share widely. Very much an early reading position focused on STR/SoR. We're a very small program and teaching focused. Happy to connect before I'm told I'm on the hiring committee and HR tells me I can't talk to anyone.
