This resonates. #GreatResignation
The Great Resignation is really a Great Re-evaluation.
What people are resigning from is a culture of burnout and a broken definition of success.
In quitting their jobs, people are affirming their longing for a different way of working and living.

Only 3% of Black students learn computer science in high school or beyond. Please watch and share this video. Inspire a student. Together we can change the face of computer science. #BlackVoicesForCS

Today marks the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth. Despite gains in recent years in the number of Black/African-American students who have access to CS, these students still don't have the same access as other groups. We're on a mission to change that! #BlackVoicesInCS
Any of my NYC K-5 teacher friends up for talking about remote learning with local media? DM me if you are! :)

We love this idea! @Dame_Lillard *is* pretty busy with his day job and already does amazing work for PPS students, including through his RESPECT program... but the more Dame, the better! #RipCity

Remember about 5 months ago when the world pulled together to support healthcare professionals and expressed gratitude in so many different ways?
We need this same energy and gratitude for educators now and forever. 1/5

Many have looked to AI to help during emergencies like COVID-19, making ethics even more important as computer scientists innovate quickly.
Researcher @jesswhittles explains how ethics should become standard when we build these systems. #CSforGood buff.ly/3hXiU7L
