In a broader sense- I was jazzed when the pandemic shook up K12 edu (curricularly) as I thought THIS IS IT, we're going to finally revamp the whole system. We're still shoehorning things in2 a long-dead paradigm. The wind of tech integration has gone out of the sails already, too
We seemed to have learned no lessons from the pandemic.
Thinking school schedules should be "normal."
The industrial revolution is over can't we move on from bells moving us class to class and think how teachers and students can have more flexibility?

Hive mind! I'm sorry I seem to only come on here these days to ask advice.. but other #edtech-ies can attest to the difficulty of working in a silo sometimes.. What is your best platform as an #instructionalcoach to reach an entire district re: PD opps, articles, training, etc?
I think this might be the most important professional development we can offer our K-12 teachers as well. #teacherhealth #breathe #trauma

Not sure what happened to this account during the second half of last year, but here I am. Year... 13? 14? Do we count whatever we did during covid? 🙅♀️ #backtoschool #backinthesaddle
Teachers are struggling, y'all. Remember our 15 minutes of fame where folks appreciated us, applauded us for our hard work, and even thanked us? Not that anyone does it for the thanks, but... Oh how far we've fallen from here. youtube.com/watch?v=GqmLCMiU…
Anyone else feel like last year was very carefully thought out and planned after the surge in spring 2020, and this year, nobody seems to have had any forethought as to what to do now that we find ourselves back in a surge.

This applies to education, but also just leadership in general. Did we just forget??? And also, why are we still fighting an uphill battle against folks who still won't comply?😵💫😷 #covidyear3
Alarm bells, folks. ALARM. BELLS. Where are our advocates? Legislators? One morning we're going to wake up as a country and there'll be no teachers. What will parents say then? The new-age freedom fighters? Will they step up? I think the worst part is this is not a sudden thing.

...Our education system has been silently imploding for decades. Even now, when it's painfully obvious to the world that it's in the alligator-death-roll stages, there is no major revolution on the horizon. Our. Poor. Children. #deepthoughts #tuesday #ripedu 😔
A follow-up to my last tweet: Like a good little educator, I paused before consuming the first cookie and asked what the objectives and criteria were for the assignment. #alwaysaneducator #tastetester #missedcalling #sotasty #iwantmore #hangry #feelingfestive

OK, hive mind... Can you, in Forms, send a quiz back to a student with answers marked ✔️or✖️, including feedback, that they can then correct and resubmit? And have this be different for each student? 🧐🧐🧐 #google #edtech #googleforms #worksmarter
