☀️ What's your vote? 1, 2, or 3 for my brand color palette? Only difference is the tertiary blue color. I'm trying to decide for branding on the web, in videos & documents, but also which is best with my look (hair, skin, eyes, style).

THANK YOU!

☕️ Announcing a New Monthly Newsletter for College Educators!

What if one email a month gave you practical ideas you could use immediately to increase student engagement?


☀️ I’m launching Morning Office Hours, a monthly newsletter designed specifically for higher education instructors. It only took me months to decide on a name 😉 - felt a lot like revising a syllabus.


🧠 Each month, I’ll share:

• Ready-to-use classroom ideas
• Tech tools that improve engagement
• Neuroscience-backed strategies
• Practical scripts and frameworks
• Confidence-boosting insights


I'm building this for university instructors who want to teach beyond the bland.

📚 What a gift to hear live from Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant and Dr. David Rettinger the authors of The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI.

This book has sparked rich reflections across our university book clubs.

One insight from today that has my wheels turning: rethinking our purpose. Students don’t really need us for content delivery since they can get info anywhere & everywhere. But they do need us for connection, sense making staying motivated, and practicing what Tricia & David called "durable human skills" like critical thinking, reflection, and empathy.


I wish I knew what lies ahead for us as educators, learners, and humans, but I remain committed to creating meaningful experiences for my students.


Thank you to the Rutgers Institute for Teaching (TIIP) for hosting this thoughtful series and to everyone who joined the conversation today.


If you’ve read the book, I’d love to hear: What part(s) resonated with you most?

This is a fabulous video for us educators to understand tech rot in our students and in ourselves! Explanations, revelations, and solutions. Plus I’m a big fan of ‪@DrTraceyMarks‬’ content 🤩

What’s a happy place for you in your line of work? One of my happiest teaching places is in a book club. 📚 Our most recent gathering discussing Chapters 2 and 3 of The Presenter Professor went far beyond the surface. We explored deep topics that affect all faculty, regardless of position type, including the landmines (like loneliness) and the shelters that sustain us.



Such gratitude to Rutgers Institute for Teaching (TIIP) and our facilitators, Crystal Quillen, Christine Morales, and Mariann Bischoff.


And thank you, Elizabeth Norell, for writing this book that’s already sparking powerful, vulnerable conversations among educators.
