Apparently everyone thought since the girls are covering a ballgame at Bentonville tonight, the boys should go have some fun…sheesh! I’ve never seen so many people. @defyrogers @6thdimension_nwa @ Rogers, Arkansas instagram.com/p/CoRPImvu_sz/… – at Rogers, AR

Truest meaning of explorer mindset… “are we really just going to throw it in there and see what happens?” “Why wouldn’t we? Let’s see what’s under there!” I love watching them work! @NatGeoEducation @NatGeo #GeographyAwarenessWeek

Love seeing my students apply core content learning in a meaningful way. They might not ever get the county to redo the bridge to help with debris but that won’t ever take away the learning of 360 photography with a @GoPro Max & CAD design with @ARCHICAD. #GeographyAwarenessWeek

From tortoises to penguins to blue-footed boobies, it’s been an incredible expedition with @lindbladexp & @natgeoeducation. The things I experienced, the people I met, the world I explored as a #GTF will definitely guide me on my journey as an educator. #ExplorerMindset @FayGore

Coaches…as you design upcoming professional learning, infuse them w/PURPOSE! Include an aligned agenda, effective opener, active activities, & a purposeful reflection. Your peeps will be confident knowing EVERYTHING has a bigger purpose. #emints #emintstips @emintsnc #TipCards
I always love #i2Sdale. As you can tell in the video, I had a lot of fun presenting in my session. Highly encourage everyone to submit a session proposal and join us next year for some incredible learning and collaboration.
