Parents, When you meet your child’s teacher in the coming weeks, be sure to hug and thank them. I guarantee if you were to drive by any school right now, you would find 10+ cars in the parking lot. Teachers are tirelessly working off the clock to perfect every little detail so that your child has a wonderful school year. Teachers, you really are incredible and you make the world go round. Thank. A. Teacher.

We all have complex identities that should be valued and incorporated into education #iste18
I thought I knew a lot about Genius Hour, until I attended a session with @donwettrick and his friends. It would be great to get a copy of the slide deck! #ISTE2018

Students gravitate to the teachers they think like them. Some things in the school aren’t hard to figure out. #LikeTheKids

If we say we are paperless we are shutting out thousands of amazing activities that are better with paper. And kids should touch stuff other than a computer #ICE18

If the only reading students do is at school, they will never get the necessary practice that is foundational to being literate. They need to read books, and they need to do a lot of this reading outside of school.
