Note to @NFL & @Peacock: I'm with @RepPatRyanNY . Restricting a playoff game to streamers is 100% about more money for the league & owners and nothing else -- no matter how you blather about "reaching new audiences." Fine, stream! But #KeepNFLbroadcasts!

Excellent, provocative blog from @RigganMatthew of @WorkshopSchool, asking: shouldn't colleges and employers contribute more than they are to the skill development of the young people who find their way to them? @NextGenLC

@GrantLichtman does it again with this stupendous reflection on a new taxonomy, replacing Bloom, for our time. Well timed. His model starts with Civility and leads upward to Purpose. Can we all start moving there NOW, please? @NextGenLC @tedfujimoto

What does it look like when traditional patterns of hierarchical power are disrupted? What if our orgs reflected what we now know about what motivates people to do great work? SUCH A KEY TOPIC. Vote for this session! #PanelPicker #SXSWEDU2024 @NextGenLC

Time to #wakeupAmerica. NOW. To solve the challenges we face, we ALL need to be part of the solution. See @GrantLichtman's great article on a new taxonomy for #publiceducation. And my earlier one on the paradigm shift #K12 needs. +
