Let’s be grateFALL for Google’s free fonts. These GOURDgeous fonts have a fall feel. 🍂 Fonts with strong personalities are great for stylish titles and logos, but their readability make them unsuitable for body text. #EduSky #EdTech

#EduSky where my #ruraled peeps at? One way I try to impact my little area is to do a Saturday Morning Live Story Time for my local Arts Council. It's not great, but it's a story and a quick lesson about c/g sounds. fb.watch/mFTlQeIy8q/

It is a training. It's very good. A lot of what's covered is in the book "Uncovering the Logic of English," which is an excellent read for anyone on #EduSky looking for a good book about reading instruction.

Yes! I tried to bring what I learned bac IMO, most educators are too overwhelmed by an ineffective system. I think things can be so incestuously tangled/corrupt in smaller communities. MOST of our $$ goes to district admin & staff, not suport staff. So, we're just surviving a broken system.
