Happy Birthday @Instructure! @Canvas_by_Inst is Sweet Sixteen and still doing its thing!
Have a few minutes? We could use your help! Please participate in our State of AAC survey, collecting feedback on the state of AAC over the last year! forms.gle/a2XQceh4hYA91N…
"Nothing about us without us." Let's break down barriers and ensure that AAC user's thoughts, feelings, and input are always considered. Let's empower AAC teams to include and prioritize AAC users in every decision they make. #InclusionMatters #AACDreamTeam
BREAKING: Canvas has a definitely legit bug in like the US probably? that says students have left the quiz page mid-quiz when they totally haven't been doing that thing. In other news, I haven't turned my sprinklers on, so it may be hard to get any forks in.
Happy Birthday yesterday to my favorite 14 year-old company, @Instructure! @CanvasLms
Happy Birthday @Instructure! Thirteen years old and no peach fuzz. Don't let the bullies get you down, they're hiding their own insecurities. Just be your best you!
Trying and failing to find an estimate for how many people breached the barricades, how many entered the capitol building. Can anybody help me out?
Check out this amazing open source video-calling technology. Great work @at_makers @whitmer !
The way we’ve defined monopolies, the way we view what “competition” is, and how little our government understands tech are all contributing to these issues. In my opinion: If your payment processor can’t compete with a 3rd parties on your own platform, that’s your own fault.
Apple regularly requests information about the business model of apps on submisssion to the App Store and will block you if you have a subscription service that you aren’t making available in iOS so they get their 30% cut. Wordpress just 1st big company to complain.

Since April I've been working on an open source passion project, Co-VidSpeak. Basically it's video calling w/ some extra features so people who can't speak (due to breathing tube, disability, etc.) can participate in the call instead of passively watching. blog.mycoughdrop.com/introducing-co…

My statement on the death of George Floyd:
@whitmer @Linkletter @randomor and I'm still hoping that can happen... there were some good signs of progress thanks to @call_hoon and her great effort at organizing and engaging with people at Instructure, but then the pandemic, these new woes at Instructure. so I will just keep on hoping & speaking up :-)
@whitmer @georgekroner I am most sad about the great people who loved EdTech and cared about customers that now have golden handcuffs and must speak glowingly until their (usually very long) vesting timer expires. Some will walk to avoid cognitive dissonance. That is also part of every PE story.

@elonmusk No. I get where you're coming from, but underneath the virtue signalling and ideological posturing, diversity, equity and inclusion are real things with real impacts for the students I work with who often face barriers to success not of their own making
@whitmer Thanks for the birthday wishes, Brian! We're planning to skip the whole acne breakouts/mood swings part of teenagehood and only remain partially obsessed with social media 😉
Well, the good news is I'm alive. The other good news is I'm recovering from some interesting times on the trail. As promised, I came home with stories.

@whitmer Wait, wouldn't forking your yard a low-efficiency version of aerating it? It is the best season for that.
@whitmer At least you prevented dangerous yard forkage.
@whitmer I’d like to think that perhaps the punctuation is wrong and fork == rake, and he just offered to lovingly rake your yard?
Speaking of the #AugComm class, for an assignment, an autistic student created an amazing communication board for herself when she’s in sensory overload. I will ask her for permission to share as it could be an example to start from for others.
@whitmer @PhilOnEdTech I am not sure - but Hey @PhilOnEdTech do you own an Australian Shepard? Here is my Aussie playing catch yesterday.
@drchuck Did they file this suit to make me move 'Canvas as Open Core' outside of the Open Source band on the squid diagram? Seems like overkill to me.
