It has been a long time since I posted. I am curious what educators are still around and willing to reply to a message (high bar I know) but how about starting with and easy question. What has been the best change you have made in your classroom this year?

I'll start, this year we switched to standards based grading and I have really enjoyed the standards our school choose for our department. I think they are powerful and recursive. I work on using them all weekly! It has been great!

Curious if there are teachers who have five into the Bitcoin world. If so what do you think? What is your plan? Is it part of a long term investment strategy? Is it a quick play? Love to hear from the community as only teachers know what it is like to era. Like a teacher.
