Chimney Rock, North Carolina A glimpse into the forever altered landscape in western NC. The more I look at this, the harder it is to believe. The economic and human toll #Helene has caused is high, and we still have yet to realize it in full.. #ncwx #ChimneyRock #Flood

It is hard to describe how much you learn by actually doing — by carefully considering all factors, making a decision, and then taking responsibility for the outcome. Unlocks wisdom that cannot be arrived at any other way.

"A real leader knows there are lots of ways to solve any problem and just as many ways to make them worse. The right thing to do almost always is to open the possibilities, find a wider array of choices." Hear! Hear! Thanks for elevating the discourse @MimiVChapman

UNC student Nassibah Bedreddine offers a better, more mature, balanced, and actually nuanced take on housing in one opinion piece than the juvenile NIMBY vs. YIMBY clickbait in circulation over the past year in CH.
COLUMN: "By working toward solidarity among tenants of all stripes, Americans can take a step toward not just affordable housing, but the establishment of housing as a human right," Nassibah Bedreddine writes. bit.ly/3rsngNW

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

@GitHubEducation is the Teams upgrade tool for global educator repositories currently broken? Upgraded at least a few days ago but no change in organization opted in; planning to use Teams features again this Fall! 🥺

Bought an iPad Pro hoping to teach from it, with slides and a Pencil, but... wow both Keynote and PPT significantly miss the inking mark for pedagogy in such simple, fixable ways.

PowerPoint has an eraser, but the ink line is so fine it's illegible on classroom displays. Not possible to change thickness 🙃 Additionally, it ignores OS double tap gestures for erase mode, thus requiring 5 pencil taps... while teaching live... to switch to eraser and back.

If anyone at @Apple or @Office knows the PMs on iOS Keynote or @powerpoint teams and wants some low hanging fruit for how to make their product usable for educators teaching with ink, please reach out! 🙏 I was really looking forward to teaching w/ either app from an iPad 💔
