On a road trip in #Laos this week and there are some looong drives! Starting on the latest They Behave For Me podcast but seeking your #EdusSky recommendations for anything else. @adamboxereducation.bsky.social @amymayforrester.bsky.social

Reminder that middle schoolers don’t get spouse humor:

Today’s WYR: Remember everything you read, or remember everything you hear?

S asked my opinion.

I said, “I’d prefer to remember what I read, but my wife would want me to remember what I hear.”

ONE WEEK from today, the "Design Docs Are Better Than Lesson Plans" @sxswedu.com will be live! I'm not nervous, you're nervous! 😬

And I found out this weekend, that the workshop has been certified for CPE credit if you're a teacher in TX & need credits.. Come join the workshop!

Today we did a fun activity on padlet - the discussion board- students reacted to pictures in our health unit. I was able to very easily import my Jamboards. Too easy and a great way to practice our vocabulary. #funactivity #EdusSky 😎

I don’t like Threads because I can’t control the algorithm. In this space, I basically only follow the #EduSsky hashtag and have really loved it. Found so many of my people again.

I had the chance to chat with Parents Magazine. The punchline? We've got to rally behind teachers, now more than ever. www.parents.com/teachers-are... #EdusSky
