This 3D print is my absolute favorite! My thoughtful husband created it as a Christmas gift for our daughter’s figure skating coaches. Isn’t it just the cutest? #EduSky

My husband’s latest hobby: 3D printing! These custom Christmas trinkets are his way of adding a personal touch to my colleagues’ holiday season. Pretty impressive for a new skill, don’t you think? #EduSky
A collection of small 3D-printed holiday-themed figurines is displayed on a countertop. The figures include reindeer with red noses and a white and gray cat wearing a Santa hat and scarf. The figurines feature cartoon-like eyes and festive details, with some lying down and others standing upright.

Assessing individuals in team PBL projects always comes up as a wonder when we coach teachers in Project based learning, so my colleagues at @appliedcoaching.bsky.social asked me to write a blog post with some ideas. I hope it's helpful! #PBL #edusky www.appliedcoaching.org/post/how-to-...

Working on some content for @appliedcoaching.bsky.social this morning whilst my daughter grabs some time on the ice. What are some of the places you've tried to get work done, #edusky folks?
Computer and cup of water on a table. The computer screen is the blog page of Applied Coaching for Projects. In the background a girl skates on an ice rink. She's practicing figure skating turns.

Would you like a glimpse of schools on the South Island of Aotearoa 🇳🇿? In March, I visited schools in Dunedin, where Māori culture is beautifully woven into school life—from welcoming ceremonies to houses named after local landmarks—connecting students to their land, history, and identity. #edusky

Hey y'all! I'm coming over here to check out the #edusky community! I live in Colorado and love all things #Inquiry and #PBL. (Of course I am also awfully fond of my family and pets, too.) When I'm not creating ed resources or facilitating professional learning, you can usually find me outside.
