Forty years older, with shaky, clammy, hands and eyes that were no longer able to focus clearly, somehow I still knew the elegant writing that graced the envelope.

Not really breaking any news here.
So stupid
Anyone have a way to encourage students to stay awake? I teach students who are emotionally disturbed. In every class, many come in, lay on the floor, and sleep, not giving us a chance to get started with engaging activities. #education

Must watch!!!! So wonderful.

I cannot stomach the trash on that app! Hopefully, you will find this when you visit!
I have had kids who are truly dysgraphic. I want to help them at least be able to read what they write, and a copy of my notes can fill in the rest. I think having other compensation strategies is imperative as well!
Many of my high school SPED students have "hard copy of notes" as an accommodation, but that doesn't address in class issues! I try to help those students at least get to a point where they write 1 or 2 key words legibly. Their effort aids their recall.
@jerseyblueeyes.bsky.social hello my friend!!
I see an end to compulsory attendance, an end to SPED and 504 programs. I see money funneled to schools in wealthier neighborhoods (read SAVAGE INEQUALITIES). I see teacher salaries plummeting and so the numbers of qualified teachers as well. I hope I am wrong.
I am just now becoming familiar with how to use AI myself to simplify some of my teaching tasks! I'm looking forward to seeing how I can help.students do the same, and more!
Thank you!
I agree because, unfortunately, we are still a misogynistic, racist country at our core.
I disagree, although I know he said bridge pres. Again. Those on the inside should have done a better job. I believe he felt he had momentum, not arrogance.
He was betrayed. Those who thought he was too old should have convinced him not to run before he was started. I believed in Harris, her energy and her vibrant ideas. I voted for her with pride. But I know there were many who simply did not vote because of the way she was handed the nomination.
Thank you!
I just watched DECONSTRUCTING KAREN ... a must watch. Getting HOOD FEMINISM now!
That was good!
I came in late, but was able to participate a bit. THIS is what I've been missing!! #sunchat
I have been saying this for YEARS! You have to be confident that you KNOW something to reach out into what you do not know. #sunchat
We are working on being a collaborative, cross-curricular, project-based learning team. I work at a special campus for emotionally disturbed students. It's hard, we all have different experiences and skills in teaching this way, but I see the rewards in student engagement. #sunchat
Thank you!!!
I teach HS math to students who historically have done poorly in math, and THIS is how I do it!
Really like these helpful posters for MLL students but I think all students would benefit. #EduSky
No, but you shared it!
Omgosh!!! I love you!
How about a skydeck ... like a tweet deck, but for Bluesky!
I cannot imagine throwing away my poetry on purpose! I lost hundreds of poems I had only "saved" in emails on AOL (yes, I'm that old!). I was devastated! Lol
Why am I here? I miss conversations I had on Twitter, the stimulating ones that helped me start a podcast. I miss sharing strategies for alt Ed and trauma informed practices. I miss seeing what others are doing in education and running with new ideas.
Thank you all for being here! #EduSky
