So this year I am working with a fourth-grade boy who at the start of his work with me did not know the names and sounds of most letters in the alphabet.
He was non- reader with virtually no sight words.
Dear @Starbucks ,
I do enjoy your stores and coffee, but I must admit this “bacon” sandwich made me sad. Yes, it was still good, but I’d like to kindly ask for more bacon than this😅.
I'm using @canva for the first time and on the "dashboard" when you sign in there's a fun little interactive banner for features coming soon. I LOVE these types of playful interactions and I wish we could add them to our pages.😊❤️
I’m not saying @playcanvas is awesome, but I am prototyping a game in AR in my browser on my day off and I am very happy 😅
Welp, I downloaded the visionOS 2 beta - the first beta operating system I've played with since I put a beta OS on my parents' computer when I was like 13 😆

So you’re a 5th grade comic book illustrator & author? Of course our librarian can create a book, place it on the shelf and allow students to check it out! Amazing things are happening at @HumbleISD_LSE Thank you @JulieRoederAFL
I don’t particularly relish doing my Bloodborne pathogens training, but doing in #MixedReality with my #quest2 has definitely made it more enjoyable 😅.
So, I know it's fashionable to dunk on Meta/Horizon (and of course there are valid critiques there too), but can I just say I...actually had fun with their new games Citadel and Super Rumble? Like real non-ironic fun with some random people and it was awesome! #horizonWorlds
Maybe it's the enhanced functionality that those experiences gain by using TypeScript? I'd say the graphics, but I'm by NO means a graphics snob, so that doesn't usually matter to me. But maybe importing assets meets some minimum threshold I wasn't aware of?

Nice. Learning could be collaborative, courteous, non-competitive. Why not? #EdTech #ConnectedLearning

I know it's not really a big deal now, but simple-minded me is just still REALLY enamored by using something like @playcanvas directly in my iPad browser 😍
Yes, more like this please!

No, this is incorrect. The term is not "kiss of death." It's called getting Sherlocked.😊 #apple
