6/ In the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, we need to step back and remind ourselves about what vaccines are for. Vaccines don't prevent all infections… they prevent severe disease.

NEW: How much snow leads to a snow day across the US? My latest visual story diving into snow days and how many inches of snow on average cause school closures in different places across the country ❄️❄️ 🧵 A visuals thread:
Headline: How much snow does it take to cancel school? Subhead: Average snowfall observed on days with a school closing, by county Chart description: The map shows the northeastern US, highlighting different US cities and average snowfall, in inches, that triggers snow days. For example 1.6 inches in Tulsa, Oklahoma compared to 8.8 in Buffalo, NY. Chart annotation: New York has some of the most snow-resilient counties in the country, with Livingston County leading: 10.9 inches of snow on average causes a snow day. Data note: The map displays data for counties with six or more recorded school closures from January 2014 to March 2023. School closures were monitored using a combination of user reports to snowdaycalculator.com and other methods. Snow averages are estimated based on the observed snowfall in a school’s ZIP Code, and schools include all levels of education, from elementary to college. Source: David Sukhin, Snow Day Calculator

Time for perhaps the most damning stat of all: One in 25 American five-year-olds today will not make it to their 40th birthday. No parent should ever have to bury their child, but on average across the US one set of parents from every kindergarten class most likely will.

I almost forgot about this handy little tip in Word. Just enter =lorem(#,#) to quickly generate content. (# of paras, # of sentences)

Using a calculator isn’t cheating. Using spellcheck isn’t cheating. Using Google isn’t cheating. Using audiobooks isn’t cheating. Using #ChatGPT isn’t cheating. Let’s stop trying to catch kids cheating and start creating authentic assignments they won’t want to cheat on.

Do our grades show achievement or compliance? Both? If both, how do we know which parts make up the grade? @tguskey #LearnFwd22

Go Go USA! Choosing a mug this morning was easier with a couple of selections of the list of possibilities for a couple for days! Hoping Gregg had a similarly easy selection of our XI today. @USMNT @watke_ @MenInBlazers

There are lots of cheat sheets on the topic of dimensions vs. measures and discrete vs. continuous fields in @tableau around. This is mine that I always share with my students.
