Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a sense of who is here. I know we’re all kind of here and kind of in our own world and I just wanted to check in with any educators and other good humans. Who’s here? Also I’m sending you all some good energy. I hope you’re well.☀️ #sschat

Thanks for a great chat everyone! Here are my recommendations for student teachers: 1-Student teachers overestimate what they can remember (everyone does this). Too much happens in a day to rely on your memory. Take notes on everything. #sschat

Here’s the first question for our slow chat. This will go through next week.As we head into the new year, many student teachers are beginning their teaching journeys. What advice would you give to a pre-service teacher for their student teaching experience? #sschat

Bill, we know you are up there continuing to teach the history of angels 😇 and the afterlife, probably integrating a podcast, 🎧 website 💻 or AI 🧠 somehow—we will miss you! Thank you for the impact you have had on us, and on our students. 🫂

He also maintained a website classroomtools.org where he shared tools and resources long after he retired from the classroom so that current social studies teacher could benefit from his years of experience. 🧑🏻‍🏫

Bill posted as @classroomtools for many years, first on Twitter (X) and most recently making the move towards Bluesky. Bill was a frequent contributor to our traditional weekly Monday night chats, and supported our move in recent months to a slow chat format on Bluesky. 🦋
