A little rain didn’t dampen the turnout at this year’s @UWMadison Faculty of Color Reception. 🙌
We have a lot of new faces to welcome and a lot of achievements to celebrate, including welcoming a record 67 new faculty of color to the university in the last two years.

Listen to a @620wtmj clip of @medialab grad @DWShaffer @EpistemicUW comment on the Active Shooter video game controversy, AND how many positive video games do promote learning. bit.ly/2JmEIw4 bit.ly/2JuFBij @UWMadEducation @UWMadison @GearLearning @fielddaylab xitter.cf/DWShaffer/status/10018…
Was just on @620wtmj radio in MKE about Active Shooter, the controversial video game about school shootings removed from Steam.
My message: a really bad idea for a video game, but not all games are bad.
Sad that is a message we still need to repeat. /1
