I've long been enjoying reading and lurking on bluesky, and am going to transition to sharing my research and thinking there instead of here. I'm tessbern.bsky.social over there. I hope more educators and ed researchers consider making the same move :)

WE WON! This week, over 2000 Penn grad workers cast ballots. After eligible votes were tallied, the final count was 1807 to 97. It's official. The majority of eligible voters turned out to the polls. Penn graduate workers have resoundingly declared: WE WANT A UNION AT PENN!

collecting this data and witnessing these teachers' experiences radically shifted what I thought I was interested in studying, and started me on an obsessive path of documenting how platforms are shaping teaching in my dissertation. more to come :)

@LMT_Journal @sskavanagh @lynseymathed above all, I'm thrilled to be able to put our teacher participants' voices in print, who made it clear to us that they felt silenced by the power platform data was given in instructional decision-making. See the eponymous quote excerpted below.
