#Teacher Brag: So my classes just wrapped Of Mice and Men…and every class today finished the novel aloud…and every class had students who audibly gasped at the ending. Y’know…I’m proud of them. Their gasp means they were invested. They cared. They bought in.

These days, given the ubiquitousness of technology in an age of quick-quick-answers, they took the time to invest in the characters, the story, all of it. I’m not happy that there were some broken hearts—I’m proud that they moved with the book/story and came out better for it.

Gotta give a major shoutout to @processfeedback for making an amazing data-PACKED extension. Cool how much data is given back so I can analyze student writing…not just for instances of academic honesty, but also how much time they’re spending on assignments, typing speed, etc!

I just emailed my students to tell them I’m moving a quiz bc I had to call out for the day bc my son is sick. I just got some emails at 7:38 PM, all of them wishing my son to get better soon (from a cold). This..is why I have the best job in the world. #Teacher

And sure, I could suspect part of their responses are based on quiz date movement. But the ones who emailed me are the ones who I know would be ready no matter what. So there’s that.

I’m still jet lagged after coming back from my home country, but man, I really wanted to go to ISTE this year. Seeing this, now I REALLY wish I could have gone. Big fan of @Kaepernick7, and would have loved to hear his keynote!

“Don’t let co-design and student voice be just buzzwords. Make them practice.” At today’s Solutions Summit, @Kaepernick7 challenged us to flip the script by giving students space to lead, share, and shape the future of learning. From AI-powered storytelling to cross-curricular healing, his keynote reminded us that the best ideas don’t come from the top; they come from the classroom. #ISTELive #ASCDAnnual

Fun things I heard today in my classroom: “What’s intelligence?” “Yeah, AI runs on water.” It’s not even 11 AM yet. #Teacher #TeacherLife #StuffStudentsSay

Just found out that an extension (draft back) I use QUITE frequently has decided it needs to be a paid extension. This is after it has been free for YEARS. I understand that proper credit is due and ppl should be paid, but man…I can’t express enough how disappointed I am.

Great morning start to #WIDA2024 with a heartwarming & inspiring keynote by Quiara Alegría Hudes. “…you are responsible for your knowledge of the history that you come from.” This line not only speak to me, but is also a lesson I try to teach my young ppl daily. Well said.

I don't talk much tech, but I updated my Macbook Pro to Sequoia...and it's absolutely wild.

Dear @EndeavorHlth, I get that we’re “low priority” on the list, but my 80-yr. old father and I have also been sitting in the mf’ing emergency room for almost 3 hours. It would be nice if we could get out at some point tonight.

So I got here at 4. My dad got here at 3. He’s been here 4 hours. 4. HOURS. Thanks for nothing, @EndeavorHlth.

So a little elder lady asked a passing doctor (someone in hospital blues) for a blanket because she’s cold. He just said, “Ok. I’ll see what I can do.” And then under his breath said, “…even though I’m in the middle of something,” Model employees here. <SMH>
