Dear twitter-verse: We're working on a project to investigate how casual interactions in shared-use spaces build community and spark collaboration. Think unstructured time in a makerspace. If you know of any research in this area, we'd love to hear about it. #quakermakers
@colinangevine @jweisgrau @ddelduca @walker_kimberly @juliediana @JessicaKParker @mpowers3 @amptMN we're thinking you all would be a great place to start for awesome ideas and insights

How do teachers celebrate the start of the school year? With a party, of course! 🎉 The iTeam hosted a "PD Party" this morning, where teachers shared #professionaldevelopment opportunities they took on this summer, and brainstormed classroom projects for the coming year.

The policing of women’s bodies must end. The “respect” that’s needed is for the exceptional talent @serenawilliams brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies. npr.org/2018/08/24/641549735…
