I'm excited to share another new resource collection on UVA's Teaching Hub! It's all about Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and it was curated by @lilliannave.bsky.social, host of the Think UDL podcast and UDL coordinator at App State. teaching.virginia.edu/collections/...

Sigh.

Same grift, different "tools."

Check out the Deakin U CRADLE team's guidance on how to design & respond well:

For those of you in the U.S. up in the middle of the night, guess where I am now? Hint: I'll be taking an obligatory "quokka selfie" tomorrow. Ciao, everyone!

So grateful to be invited to share about inclusive design with experts from around the world at #AITD2024.

I can't wait to see what everyone does to create voice, choice, belonging, agency, & safety for your learners and your employees, too!

LOL: as a non-horse person, I can confirm that when I subbed in for a horse-riding tour participant who was feeling under the weather, I, uh . . . had to re-learn how to *sway* in a certain way. Then they revealed that I had the horse with a temper. Good times! Hope you enjoy; keep coming back!

TIL: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Sad, but useful.

You know how second editions are often warmed-over and re-ordered versions of the first ones?

NOT THIS ONE, BABY.

Katie Linder and Kevin Kelly have completely updated the *Blended Course Design Workbook.*

I lost my mother in October of last year. Fortunately, I have a spare. Happy Mother's Day today to my birth mother Peggy. And I miss you, Barbara, today and every day.

Distance: 13.1 miles. Time: 2:07:56. Conditions: pouring rain, then gradually clearing.

Feeling strong and capable throughout: priceless!

Half marathon number 17 is in the books.

Thanks, Pittsburgh!

I am glad to know that the room of folks learned something important, and deeply sad that it took the form of re-opened trauma for you. I hope that you will be able to walk in "not okay" with your head held high. Much love and support from me and Mary Ann.
