Still no.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you actually can’t police someone else’s attention. Try these strategies instead.

We’re going to move on from forcing people on camera in 2021, right? Right?
I just don’t understand this camera obsession. It is truly exhausting. Is the #HigherEd that you work in all good? Because mine is not, and there are real, urgent matters that need our attention. Let it go! Let the cameras go!

So we know that unmitigated chronic stress is detrimental to teaching and learning, but we can’t think our way out of it. At some point #HigherEd will have to acknowledge that we have bodies.

#BurnoutBook
I've been thinking about this all morning in the context of some anxiety I've been having about transitioning into downtime over winter break...
A lot of us love our work, derive a sense of purpose from it, and yes, use it as a coping mechanism (sometimes in a healthy way, sometimes not). I have a planned 13 day break, like REAL break coming up, and that brings mixed emotions.

okay something's been bugging me...a #FacDev thread...
I would argue that #FacDev is a huge area of opportunity in #HigherEd (or we could say it's completely broken-you choose).
This is data from the first #OLCAccelerate session I attended yesterday from the neuromyths study that @BrianCDelaney, @MDMillerPHD, & Kristen Betts shared. Obviously there are concerns across the board here, but I work with faculty.

Let's do a thing. Should we do a thing? Let's promote women+ who've written books about #HigherEd, shall we? I'm going to pull from the #HigherEd reads list we started in January.

Using Amazon for sanity: please consider your independent bookstores if purchasing.
Before I get to books, let me take a moment to direct you to @womeninhighered, led by @kelly_j_baker. What would we do without this feminist #HigherEd publication? I hope we never have to find out.

Friends: I'm at a professional conference this week. Hearing a report that when presenters use breakout rooms, people are leaving sessions en masse.

Shall we discuss?

#HigherEd
#HowToZoom
#AcademicChatter
So y'all have feelings about breakout rooms I see. Here are some of my key takeaways from this conversation:
#1 Perhaps we should build community and connection before sending people into breakouts. Sending people into a small room with strangers is awkward-sauce.

This is worth taking a look at. Some very concerning findings about #MentalHealth impacts of COVID.

boston.com/news/coronavir…
Rates of suicidal ideation rose from a baseline of 3.4% in 2014 to 36.9% in October.

Historical norms for major depression were 7.7% pre-COVID, and rose to 27% during COVID.

Treatment: samhsa.gov/find-treatment
I'm mad about this, #HigherEd. I really am. We haven't named or faced this challenge. We have thrown faculty onto the front lines of what could be the worst mental health crisis of our lifetimes. Our counseling teams were woefully underfunded before this...
