Project-based learning (PBL) has always been #1 methodology on how I engage students. AI elevates what's possible at every stage: from helping them find age-level+linguistically accessible info, creating authentic work products, & presenting to AI (virtual audiences) for feedback

Dear @twitter you used to such a valuable resource for info esp for journalism, and now you can’t even tell the difference from news media where the gov influences its content and independent news media like @NPR. Can you pls focus your energy on labeling bot controlled content?

All Americans need to reflect on when and how anyone can adopt an attitude of dehumanizing African Americans. Say until we finally don't need to anymore, #blacklivesmatter Map Source: NY Times

We need to address the problem of older #aapicommunity not accessing mental health services. Violence as a result of this mental health crisis is seen most horrifically visibly this week, but is quietly felt in the terror of domestic violence every week. mcleanhospital.org/essential…

Dr. King said, "Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’"

.@Twitter has been such a meaningful place for new ideas as a teacher. @elonmusk I hope this doesn’t change. @andyhargreaves

America today, more than ever, is a direct reflection of who votes. If you want to change things, pay attention to local, ~state~, & national elections, "We the People" ~who vote~ actually do run America. Onwards towards further hard work towards "A More Perfect Union." Happy 4th

Some of the best teacher PD takes just 5-seconds. I am now going to use: “your adults” and “grownups” rather than guardians, parents, mom/dad. #inclusive #teaching

Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. -William Martin

KF94 KN95 & N95 largely interchangeable w. size/fit being more important than which 1 of those 3. If smell is an issue, remove them from package night before. After use, if reusing them, cycle in a new mask next day, reusing old one in a cycle. Graph from: wsj.com/articles/cloth-face-…

Start 2022 with high-quality masks for you and your children for indoor settings with large groups, mixed cohorts, or otherwise elevated risk environments (with regular handwashing too) parents.com/health/kn95-mask…

The order of things more important for students to learn: budgeting, how interest works, ETFs, 401Ks, insurance, are more needed than reinforcing get rich quick. Teaching how networks + encryption work, yes!

This captures my entire career, past, present, and hopefully future! Sketchnote by @tnvora based on ideas by @rebelsatwork

When a child misbehaves, let’s ask them to find a cause on the right wheel

Excerpt: Faced with this binary, Americans generally don’t pay enough attention to the quality of a mask and how it’s worn. As the Harvard epidemiologist Bill Hanage, we’re still wearing cloth masks because they’re expected to still be better than nothing. theatlantic.com/health/archi…

As a seventh grade teacher and a parent of a fifth grader, so much to contemplate. Image from @WeAreTeachers

Americans want liberty, tragic that their fight against masking & vaccination deprives all of us of safely enjoying the liberty they fight for. While US vax rates are at 53%, Europe is at 70% & socialist Denmark shows the total freedom we could be enjoying now at 80% vax #COVID19
