March is also Music in Our Schools month! Did you know, playing a musical instrument is associated with numerous cognitive and social benefits, including improved memory, language skills, and increased ability to solve complex tasks. #LTPSThisIsUs
March is Youth Art Month! Did you know? Our very own LHS art teacher Danielle Davis is the state chair for YAM NJ and has been recognized by the @naea-arteducators.bsky.social for her excellence in collaboration with Grounds for Sculpture #LTPSThisIsUs
Happy New Year, #edusky.
The only surprising thing about this pick is that is was Linda McMahon and not Hulk Hogan.
This is certainly... a thing. #edusky
On a related note, check out the #metalsky tag here. It's a pretty vibrant metal community with good resource sharing. You can save the m it as a feed so you don't have to manually search it every time.
It was a sight to behold that I wish I hadn't beheld: bsky.app/profile/meta...
Screenshot of Bluesky accessibility settings showing the 'Require Alt Text' setting
Now's as good a time as any to implore all the incoming #edusky folks to please add alt text to the pics you post for a more accessible, inclusive Bsky experience.
You can even set your account to require you to add alt text in case you forget. Go to Settings > Accessibility and click this toggle:
If you see this, post a concert photo you took

*proven wrong, I meant. #noeditbutton
The community won't learn from its initial mistake of elevating edu-celebrities and grifters, I'm afraid. Would love to be proven won't because those were some great times.
Has it really been 9 months since I've logged in on this account? Back when you needed an invite to join? Sheesh.
Putting the offer out there once again. Have a handful of invite codes to share for educators & ed-adjacent folks. If you would like one, reply and I'll hook you up. #edusky
I'm tapped out for now; that is, all my invite codes have been given out. If they're not redeemed in a few weeks, I'll make the offer again (so if I gave you some, please encourage your peeps to sign up soon!). #EduSky
No problem; just sent them.
OK. There's no DM function here yet; let me know where I can send them and I'll do that now.
It's one invite code per user account. I can start you off with two if that would help
Ok, resent to the correct address
OK, just emailed you two.
What's the best way for me to send you the codes, and how many do you anticipate needing?
#EduSky folks, are you trying to bring your people over to Bluesky? I have invites to share with educators and education-adjacent folk to help build this community. Don't be shy; let me know!
In other words, from my junior year of high school 💀
This offer still stands. Still have 3 invites to share with educators and ed-adjacent folks. Please let me know if you'd like one to share with someone not yet on Bsky.
I notice no limitations were imposed upon /adults/...
Don't get so hung up on adhering to your lesson plan that you completely ignore what's happening right in front of you. Be prepared to adjust to meet the needs of your students in the moment.
Jumping back into the #edusky stream to let you know that I have two Bsky invites to share if you're looking to get educators and ed-adjacent folks onto the platform. Let me know if you'd like one.
I got all 11 right but the quiz didn't tell me which kind of potato I am or which one of my Facebook friends I would end up in jail with so it's probably useless.
#edusky folks, I have one more invite to share to bring educators and ed-adjacent folks onto the platform. Hit me up.
(please check your spam folder in case it doesn't show up in your inbox) And if you wouldn't mind, would you please confirm when you receive it? Thanks!
OK, just emailed you. Enjoy!
