The trifecta of brilliance: @JasonReynolds83 @DrIbram @BLoveSoulPower So much respect for the work of these three. I’ve heard them speak so many times and every time I am so moved and so inspired. #AntiracistBookfest

I don’t know who else needs to read this today, but I’m grateful seeing this this morning gave me the courage to approach someone about this same issue today. #speakup ⛹🏼‍♀️👑

As an #ELAteacher, there is no greater feeling than getting the right book into the hands of a kid. #provemewrong #middlegrades #teacherlife #teacherjoy

This teacher born and raised in NY got to teacher her Southern students what a snow blower is today thanks to @cnn10. Or as the kids said, “It’s like a lawn mower for snow!” 🤣 #themoreyouknow

Anyone else feel like the predictive text in Google Docs has gotten ridiculously more accurate in the last week or so?? I can't decide if I love it or am thoroughly creeped out by it.

School hosted its first virtual #talentshow using video submissions. This is the future. Saw stuff we'd never see in person: bouldering, harp playing, original techno songs, BMX skills. A reminder that some good things have come from this craptastic year. #proudteacher

You know you’re an #edtech nerd when you notice (and are slightly annoyed by) a character referencing making a #PowerPoint on one page and using a #GoogleDoc 5 pages later. #teacherlife #YAnovels #nerdalert 🤓

A student (who generally only reads when required) just said, "I don't know why, but this book is just SO GOOD." I replied, "I know why. It's because it's written by @JasonReynolds83." ❤️📚 #boyintheblacksuit #YALit #teacherlife #bookworm #ELA #booksbooksbooks #loveagoodbook

I’ve track Covid numbers and rates in Georgia daily through multiple reliable sources for months, but @NPR, no one else seems to have this huge spike showing in their numbers for my state. Typo? Or am I missing something?

My Ss are THRILLED at the edition of the citation feature on #GoogleDocs. First day using it and they can't believe how easy it is. #ELA #MLA4Life #MiddleGrades #teacherlife #GoogleTools

I’m in awe of all these amazing educators I see presenting at virtual conferences. All I can think is “how on earth do you do it??” I’m barely staying afloat and can’t process beyond the hour in front of me. I miss having energy for passion projects. #teachinginapandemic

Had my first #GoogleEI mentor meeting w/ @shanateaches - SO excited for her project! This #ELAteacher w/ a history degree (as my Ss sometimes call me) is going to learn so much from her finished product! #VIA20 team did an amazing job of prepping new innovators for their work. 🙌🏼

Lessons learned from 8th graders today: apparently you shouldn't chew peppermint gum with a mask on. Apparently the fumes are so powerful your eyes will water.😂😷 #teacherlife #middlegrades #wearyourmask #lifelessons

Listening to my 8th graders talk about their applications for high school and plans for college. They’ve grown up so much since 6th grade. Gonna be so sad to let these kiddos go after three years together, but dang, they’re gonna do big things! 💕 #teacherlife #middlegrades

Feels good to get reconnected with the #GoogleEI community! Met @DevinRossiter tonight and realized there's a whole crew of Innovators with projects connected to nature education & the outdoors - but we should all connect! Who's in for a Meet session? DM me! @KT_T_W 🌲🍁🏔🏕

Been a hot minute since I was on Twitter, but I am SUPER excited to be #mentormatched with @shanateaches for her Google Innovator project! Can't wait to hear her ideas for the #ELA classroom. Time to pay forward all the advice I got from @markgarrison! #GoogleEI #DEN18 #VIA20

Challenged my students to the #bookcoverdouble challenge from @nypl. Had so much fun making my own submission. Can't wait to see what they came up with! #harrypotter #teacherlife #quarantinefun

The Google Meet Grid View Extension was amazing to have for my lit circles this morning. Just shared with my entire staff and they're thrilled too! Thanks for this post @ericcurts! controlaltachieve.com/2020/0… #teachfromhome #distancelearning #GoogleMeet

Day 1 of #digitallearning. I decided to use @Flipgrid to post a morning message to my Advisory. I've been sitting here waiting to see which student would post first. It just came in, and I could not be happier to see her smiling face!! #relationshipsmatter #letsgoteachers

Feelin’ all warm and fuzzy with this awesome learning today! 🤩 #edcampGA #PLN
