One of the goals this year is to treat social media more like how we used to “go on the computer” in the olden days: brief and concentrated instead of diffuse over the course of the day

Wasn’t until I got home from the library book sale that I realized my name was already stamped on one of the books I bought… I love that my students are donating books to the town library. I just wish it wasn’t my classroom library books 😐
