This Folding Story video tutorial that I made for #clmooc years ago came in handy just now, as I refresh my memory for a collaborative writing lesson in class tomorrow as we start the last week of school.

I saw this Kumu.io visualization last week & it prompted me to post this on my #Tutor #Mentor blog today. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/05/mapping-strategy-ideas-libraries.html

I show how I've used visualizations since the 1990s to share strategies and resources and how students and volunteers from any place could be duplicating my presentations, focusing on their own geographic locations.

I've been encouraging my #clmooc & #etmooc educator friends to do this since we met in 2013.

This morning, I released In The Slowdown — nine new songs, all written from December through April, and recorded at home.

If you are interested in taking a listen, here is the link to the Bandcamp page where the songs are:

Our city library had a whole celebration of Zines yesterday, with different universities and community organizations sharing Zines from their archived collections. It's pretty cool to see how creative people can be when they follow their muse and interests and create art on their own. It reminds me of some past work with #clmooc community

I shared the State of our Youth 2025 report in my #Tutor #Mentor blog, with my own comments. Please read and share w your own articles & videos.

If you're an educator this could be independent study for your students! Teach them to do the research AND share the message. #clmooc #etmooc
