thought the Cancer conv was hard - HOSPICE prep IS MUCH HARDER!!

still am in hospital - maybe home tomorrow - one cool thing, every time a baby is born they play a lullaby, very soft, you have to listen for it -15 so far (I heard since Sunday!)

at Hospital - prayers appreciated - still running tests

If Gemini is not making you go "no no no" - please tell me why! We are raising a generation of kids who will be talking to tech more than real people! Their confidant cannot be an AI bot! please no! #EDUSky

saw WICKED again & liked it even more - the 1st viewing was WAY too much for my eyes to see! I cried this time during defying gravity! Next Nov seems way too far away!

i spoke with my gardener today and he let me know his wife, passed away a week ago Sunday! She was diagnosed in March this year! Please hold him & their 2 teenage daughters in your prayers! Thank you!

happy thanksgiving, Im grateful for you #EDUSky

Petcan results - some expected growth but OK! next scan in March 25! It is well with my soul

Movie Review: Wicked (4.85 - need pt 2 to be 5)-pretty incredible singing, dancing, sets, costumes! Did not seem almost 3 hours! Cynthia Erivo WILL win the oscar! Extra plots & cameos okay but I would rather have 1 LONG movie! Muffin's mom doesn't know story, so I am silent Pt2! WILL see again!

Canva help really appreciated -- i'm trying to add a three column table and resize the column widths & row heights and just not working! and also are there vision accessibility options like rulers or edge border so I can easily see the page layout? thank you for your help.

I truly am humbled by so many new followers! But a simple FYI, if you are an educator but have no picture or no profile, I will wait to follow til you do. If you're a company, I probably won't follow! If you're not an educator, no need to follow me! Thank you! #EDUSky

tracer has been injected - petscan at 4! results on Monday! :)

A7 - always good resources, creative ideas, conference recaps. Maybe a blog post that were given a week in advance and then questions/thoughts/kickback that we can respond to regarding that blog post. (or book, youtube)! #TheEdCollab & both pros & cons conversation of new tech advancements

a6 - that I expect them to be creative, unique, show respect, be kind, be inquisitive - never a cookie cutter & they could expect the same from me! That I was so blessed to be their teacher! & if I didn't know an answer for them, I would try to find it! (I taught in computer lab) #TheEdCollab

A4 - still twitter! My remind group with lots of educators Ive known a long time, & email! I am a bit tech-phobic so I keep my circle close! #TheEdCollab I do miss conf & edcamps but many germs is not a wise place for me now!

A2 - Im on a health journey right now - petscan on Thursday - but hope hope in 2025 I can be more educationally helpful - blog, share resources more, etc #TheEdCollab

A3 - I want authenticity & kind kickback if I am wandering or okays if I am showing good practices! We can agree to disagree! I like knowing family updates, career changes, I still use twitter but am liking the smaller group here! Catching up with some I lost track of on twitter! #theedcollab

ALL Holiday card group info has been sent out & my part is complete! Now it is in the teacher's hands to create & collaborate! this year's theme is JOYS of the SEASON! Cannot wait to see pictures of cards! :)

my edtech life has just come full circle - in 1995ish, edtech entered my life & one prominent/helpful name was @kathyschrock.bsky.social - & she just followed me at #EDUSky ! :)

don't know if you feel the same, but I am connecting with friends that I had lost touch with on Twitter and it's so nice to see their faces and names! #EDUSky

dear #EDUSky friends - please please please add a picture and profile info! I want to connect with you but cannot follow til I know who you are! THANK YOU!!

not sure if it's a compliment or not, but I've been AT home sick for the last 3 weeks & went to grab dinner at Chick-fil-a tonight & the hostess clapped when she saw me & said "we've missed you!" I laughed & said "thank you for remembering me" LOL :)

@atruger.bsky.social waving HELLO!!!!! #EDUSky

Movie Review: GREATEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT (4.8 smiles) .. I will admit that I'm biased. I love the book! It is a short movie & good for all ages. Acting is okay and yes, I did cry a couple of times! Stays pretty close to book. Would see again!!

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you do now -kid's khoir director -financial planner -bank customer service rep #edusky

introducing myself to #edusky - Retired teacher after 41 years (last 28 in tech), loves coding, robots, & creative ideas! Hosted many online projects since 1999. A bit kooky, passionate, introvert/extrovert, I/ENFJ, loves musicals, Disney, a good laugh, & chicken tortilla soup! (Prov 3:5-6)

@jmad.bsky.social seeing your name pop up here, is making me so happy. I hope life is good for you and I look forward to catching. up

yesterday I had my first interaction that when I went into an interview, they had already googled me & knew I was a retired educator & that I hosted online projects & had speaker/publishing/social media experience. Very pleased my reputation DID proceed me!

figuring this out - advice & wisdom appreciated - ty
