There’s no teaching strategy good enough to fix weak instructional design and materials. Turn and talks won’t save us from poorly written and poorly aligned curriculum. #EduSky

"However, if there are two or more options for engaging with learning material, then it is best to select the tool that will yield the best results. As we’ve seen, that tool will rarely be digital in nature." substack.com/home/post/p-...

You don’t realize how reliant you are on technology until your screen breaks. Here’s to whiteboards and portable bluetooth speakers!

150 cups of cocoa, five cans of whipped cream, and countless marshmallows later… final essays are done! This week was a reminder that we can do anything (even back-to-back projects) with a little sugary motivation.

During long independent work days, I love using this visual pacing for students to monitor their own progress (writing/erasing/rewriting their names as they move to each step)!

I really, really try hard to consume some of the same media my students do so I can use it as reference in class/for conversations, but I have tried to watch Outer Banks so many times and have yet again failed.
