Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

Congress Renews Open Textbook Pilot for a Second Year
Congress has approved a federal funding bill including another $5 million appropriation for the Open Textbook Pilot, along with stronger guidelines.
I put myself at the top of the list of people who have to author better proposals for #ISTE19 than I did for #ISTE18 . I have to get better at articulating the positive impact #OER has on the overall culture of learning within a classroom. I will.
You have also had a positive impact on kids far south of Chicago my friend.

"I often wonder if one reason why so many children (and adults) end up thinking of fractions as a mysterious morass is that we don’t take the time to disentangle all these ideas." - William McCallum. @IllustrateMath hubs.ly/H0cst1M0
Well deserved. Mr. Burdick may not know this, but he still impacts the way I think & the way I view the world. I think his response would be, "Don't pin that on me!"

Today the process begins to bring #NetNeurality to the Senate floor for a vote next week. We need just #OneMoreVote to restore net neutrality. Don’t let this critical issue fall to the wayside.
The $5M #OpenTextbooksFY18 pilot from Congress is moving forward, though a lot still remains to be seen. @SPARC_NA has recommendations for how @usedgov can achieve the greatest savings for students: sparcopen.org/wp-content/upl… washingtonpost.com/news/grade-poi…
