The Now: April 26, 2023

My folder of webinar recordings is out of control. Normally, I try to save them for Friday afternoons but, this week, I've taken to popping them on when I'm working on less "thinky" projects. Gotta make a dent somehow.

Here's what else I'm working on:

1. Research Assignment Design: Still coding and reviewing coded excerpts. Usually, it feels like this stuff is unnecessary extra work... until we find a code we missed or an excerpt that we coded incorrectly. Then it feels like victory.
2. End of Semester/Summer Planning: Finals are next week. In order to catch faculty and students before they leave, I'm doing a blast of "Hey! Before you go!" marketing. To do that successfully, I've also done a bit of summer planning. I wrangled the logistics of our summer webinars (which is a new thing for us) and got those posted. I am VERY excited about the personal archiving one I'm adapting from the workshop I gave last week.
3. Finals Week Social Media: Every finals week, I do a binge of posts that are, essentially, cheerleading and study breaks. I outlined my content and made a list of graphics and photos I need to take. I'll tackle that creative stuff tomorrow. Then it's scheduling and community engagement once everything posts. As a fun thing for reading day on Monday, I'm using a #GameOfFrogs I yoinked and taking it on a trip to the library.
