2 Pleasanton Virtual Academy students just had their Guinness World Records application accepted, as part of their PBL work. They’re competitive travel hockey players in our hybrid program. The layers of learning in PBL are what keep me in awe of this work. @wevideo.bsky.social @bookcreator.com

Have to share....my middle schoolers had fun with this lesson I created after PD with awesome @adobeexpress.adobe.com for PUSD educators. Working to develop our voice in writing, and then using our voices to add another layer of realness. #TeachersGiveTeachers docs.google.com/presentation...

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

The Society for Historians of the Early American Republic is asking the public to help them track changes the Trump Admin is making to history-- in national parks, websites, wherever. Please share-- and please contribute! thepanorama.shear.org/2025/04/09/t...
