Getting ready for my #ISTELive23 Presentation. #legoduck

There were more interruptions in that debate, than in my 3rd grade silent reading time.

I'm giving a talk about making digital reading more accessible to children with sensory needs this Thursday. If you know of any families who are struggling with reading during Covid, please pass it on! #edtech #sensoryprocessingdisorder #adhdproblems #autismsupport

#Facebook disabled my account and I don't know why. I use FB as a way to help teachers make reading more interactive, and now I can't when school starts :-( Anyone know what I should do? #facebookdisabledme #edtech

I'm writing a mystery story about electricity to teach second graders. This fictional school has REALLY bad safety precautions when it comes to grounding electricity and using fuse boxes.

Too often the people we claim we're helping do not get a voice in the research. Here's an article I wrote on how we need more equity in neuroscience. uxdesign.cc/beyond-consent-6…

We're looking at hiring a Social Media Marketing Expert for WonderStories.app We need help connecting with teachers and influencers. Know anyone who could help us with this? wonderstories.app/hiring @SenorG, @ThisIsUncharted ,@unreasonable

If any children are interested, Wonderstories.app is conducting a research study on what kids like about stories. Kids get to read a long with us and help design what the future of books should look like. wonderstories.app/interview #edtech #readingrocks #designthinking

Why teaching math at home is still important:

Right now, we need to give at-home kids engaging digital books. I just submitted a proposal to OpenIDEO, if you have a moment please up vote! bit.ly/3bzzJSD

With DPS now potentially not opening until January, we're going to need to think of a longer term solution to making at home learning more accessible and engaging. A zoom meeting can only go so far. ourcommunitynow.com/news-loc…

"He's glued and can't even go pee without holding his iPad." This is now my favorite quote about Wonder Stories. Should I put it on the front on the webpage?

Just got off a phone call talking with the Boys & Girls Club leadership. 50% of kids in DPS aren't logging in for classes. I believe we're about to face a massive opportunity gap making the Summer Slump look like a molehill.

Thanks to everyone for helping share Wonder Stories! Hopefully every kid gets a good book while they're stuck at home! #stuckathome #Reading #COVID #edtech #wonderstories @SenorG @iamvlewis @markjotter @juliekeane @BreitSpots @shannonmmiller @bheaglelibrary @wcpltn

We're now offering Wonder Stories 100% free while kids are stuck at home. With this app kids get to participate in the story: solving mysteries and puzzles as they go. wonderstories.app #edtech #stuckathome

If you have a child stuck at home who struggles with reading: we just made our app Wonder Stories free for the next two months: Please share with any parents, I'm trying to get Wonder Stories out to as many kids as I can. wonderstories.gsc.im/1/reada… #edtech #reading #kidsathome
