True Life

Tonight is a high pain night. Thankful my first meeting is in the late morning, and then I just have my rheumatologist appointment, coffee with a friend, and one patient. It will be a slow day tomorrow #RA #RheumatoidArthritis #Myositis https://t.co/3d3MTIq02w

For those new: Hi! I’m queer & disabled. Beyond LD & Dyslexia, I have ADHD/TS/OCD/Depression/Anxiety, and Rheumatoid Arthritis & Myositis. I am a very much a member of the Disabled community. When I speak it is only of, and from my own experiences. YMMV.

Mutual aid and community organizing will be the only thing that saves us. We keep us safe. We have to take care of one another. https://t.co/AC6EU2IY08

All of this: meeting students where they are, learning from them, showing them how to get additional desired outcomes, are all Social Work skills and values, translated into the classroom. #socialwork #learning #mobiletechnology #students #highereducation #socialworkeducation

This means 1) learning how they are currently using their mobile technology and then 2) showing them how they can translate (and even automate) the output so that it’s appropriate for different channels

We can either fight students (pointless) or we can meet them where they are, and teach them how to use the tools that they want to use, and feel comfortable using, in a way that can be impactful for others who don’t share their digital style of communicating.

Currently working on my mobile class page for my @UBSSW #SW150 students (which they will save as an icon/bookmark app on their phone in the Fall). This Summer I am revamping my course to make it more mobile friendly. https://t.co/VID7wsN7fL
