Kudos to the organizers (@caitskirby.bsky.social, @mccreary.bsky.social, @liznorell.bsky.social, @carlymlesoski.bsky.social, & @brookeshafar.bsky.social) for creating such an amazing and accessible conference experience! 👏🏾 #Gather2Resist25
A slide that is divided into two parts. The left side is entitled, "Monsters (Group 10)," and the directions say, "Copy/paste your monsters below." Below that are images of three creative monsters that the attendees built using different parts. The right side of the slide is entitled, "Qualities," and there is a guiding question that says, "What 'ideal' qualities do your ed dev monsters possess?" The list of qualities this group generated includes: Has PhD not EdD No experience in K-12/Corporate Trained/educated in Ed Dev NOT coming out of the classroom You must have EVERYTHING - staff position with teacher identity Older and wiser Chipper and outgoing Ability/Willingness to work outside of business hours Requirement to work on-site even when role doesn’t require that Must be able to lift 50 lbs Working in unmasked spaces Only interested in this! (didn’t have a home-discipline and passion before this)
@caitskirby.bsky.social, @mccreary.bsky.social, & @dradamame.bsky.social led an absolutely fantastic session at the 2025 Virtual Gathering for Educational Developers about shifting from the notion of "ideal" to "good enough"! #FacDev #EdDev #Gather2Resist25

It's as easy as:
1. Have an idea
2. Summarize the idea
