Do you use TiLT in your assignments? It’s aimed at #HigherEd but I am sure it can give insight to 6-12 teachers too I’ve been tinkering this weekend. #EduSky www.tilthighered.com/resources

I am happy to say I have an intermediate statistics final on Tuesday and that’s the semester. I am celebrating by cleaning my desk area. How do you celebrate the end of the semester? # EduSky

I'm sitting here getting ready to continue work on a paper. If you don't use a tool to keep track of books and articles, check out www.zotero.org. It's free up to a certain number of stored items (300MB). It helps create citations and annotated bibliographies. It's my favorite! @zotero.bsky.social
