Any teachers who used metaverse AR (gometa) know of a replacement? All my metaverse experiences for science have disappeared - can’t be accessed. Looks like the platform is now owned by Linktree? I had some fantastic labs integrated with AR that vanished. #metaverseAR. #koji

People with a surplus of confidence and a shortage of character never fail to disappoint.
Leadership skill is inversely related to the size and fragility of the ego.
Humility, generosity, and honor are underrated virtues. The most principled person is the best poised to serve.

Students got to work creating today, attempting to bring wind and water power to their Medieval villages. Some amazing problem solving in the works here! @imaginesd33

What better way to show what you know about a historical pandemic than making a board game about it? So impressed with these games! @imaginesd33

"It would be a shame to return to normal without acknowledging any growth that occurred during the pandemic." Let's recognize students' accomplishments during the past year! 🙌
Instead of focusing on learning loss, what if we asked students to start the year by reflecting on how they've grown *because* of the pandemic? edutopia.org/article/lets-st…

Work this into your science class if you teach grades 7-12. At least one student will flip out and start talking science with you. #scitlap #anime #drstone

If you are planning PD for teachers and concerned about “filling the time” that’s a big problem. Teacher time is too precious. If the time isn’t purposeful, just give it back to the teachers. There is far too much to do.

"At least one in 20 children were absent from state schools in England because of Covid within the last week, as official figures reveal a 66% increase in the number of pupils with confirmed coronavirus infections."

"There is a risk that a lack of robust mitigations in schools will contribute to the spread of B.1.617.2, and lead to increases in transmission as the new variant gains dominance" @DGurdasani @chrischirp @Kit_Yates_Maths @martinmckee @trishgreenhalgh ow.ly/80yW50EO5oE
Agree. Everyone should be annoyed. You pledge to make schools safe but don’t prioritize vaccinating teachers?

are you familiar with @ThisJabsforYou ? They (my cousins) started a vaccine awareness project. Idea is the get the vacc in honor of someone you may have lost to covid.
