We at @OpenStax are especially excited to partner with @aacu and @iskme on the new Institute on Open Educational Resources.
This is definitely a dream collaboration!
Exciting news for those seeking to accelerate their #OER work. @AACU, with expertise and leadership from @OpenStax and @iskme, is launching a new, year-long, team-based "Institute on Open Educational Resources." #equity #learning #affordability #highered aacu.org/events/2021-2022-in…
@SenTedCruz @tedcruz your hypocrisy is showing.
60% of Texas is experiencing a lack of electricity in bitter cold.
You are a disgrace and need to resign.
California is now unable to perform even basic functions of civilization, like having reliable electricity.
Biden/Harris/AOC want to make CA’s failed energy policy the standard nationwide.
Hope you don’t like air conditioning!

Happy New Year… lets talk about last year?!?
I thought it would be fun to record some videos reacting to some of the #education headlines that caught my eye last year. Let me know what you think!

Imagine a society where there’s nothing “elite” about a quality education.

Hey #OpenEd20, tomorrow at the Late Show @txtbks and I will share some wines we love. I am a nerd and made a quick handout on the wines I am planning to taste through. Some of these are probably available at a store near you, if you’d like to follow along! bit.ly/3kl4cHW
Hey #opened20
Don’t forget that there is a virtual lounge just hang out if you need some unstructured socialization time! bit.ly/38wrmsC
So excited to speak at the #ALPASummit in about an hour! I am looking forward to sharing more about our work at @OpenStax and #OER's impact!
#FreeTheTextbook is all about bringing more transparency to what’s happening with automatic textbook billing, and encouraging educators and institutions to choose free textbooks first. Free is the only price that is truly affordable for all students.

Many of the reasons why @RoyceWestTX is my choice for senate!
Here's the TV ad that @JohnCornyn's campaign is going up with tomorrow, similar to the attack ad that it first ran against @RoyceWestTX last summer:

Jeez... I honestly love Texas, but this is just ridiculous and despicable.
1/ Texas Republicans are moving forward with their plans for an in-person, indoor convention next month in Houston — one of the state’s biggest coronavirus hot spots.
At this time, the party isn’t planning to require masks. bit.ly/2ZlA8n8
