Happy to share my most recent paper about course modifications to support student mental health in the physics classroom. I never feel like I do enough, and my collaborators and I wrote this as a reminder that even modest changes are valuable! #ITeachPhysics #MentalHealth

Hive social feels a lot like twitter, anyone else there too?

Saying hi to new and old friends and follows! I’m not confident this platform is going to be the fix yet. Your stream will only show your followers so when you want to amplify stuff you HAVE to “boost” (like RT) so other people’s stuff shows up in each other’s feeds! This place has been reported as pretty volatile for anyone who isn’t hetero cis white so defend and amplify your friends fiercely. Use the #iTeachPhysics hashtag to we can find each other!

Check your followers/follow lists. Are they as diverse as twitter? There’s a reason they probably aren’t. This isn’t going to be the fix…at least not for a while.

I'm taking a break from Mastodon and here's why https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1590462702983720962?s=20&t=GzgyKW_NTIarqI7mMy1zNw

“Trying to talk about Mastodon about the problem of addressing racism on Mastodon is recalling memories of all my terrible experiences with facebook groups, and I think the reason is that people on Mastodon have the confidence of people who are saying stupid stuff in private”

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

I’ve been asked to teach an MAT course this spring: Psychological perspectives on education at Rockford University! So excited for this opportunity!

I teach Physics in an urban emergent district in Illinois. My interests include weaving cognitive psychology into classroom pedagogy and bridging the gap between PER and practitioner application. I was recently elected to the national board of directors for AAPT. I love coffee, chocolate and good stories.
