Here's another of my games that can easily put together for some end of the year fun. It is an "Apples to Apples" template where you can put your own content or fun terms... its totally customizable. I have PPT and GSlides versions here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Aqjz... #edtech #edusky

This is a cool opportunity for middle and high school students: 2025 Congressional App Challenge One might argue there are, ahem, issues with our current state of government. Great way to build for change! www.congressionalappchallenge.us/students/stu... #EduSky

Took students to the MLK Memorial in DC. Our students witnessed MAGA wearing teens spitting on the monument. When confronted, the adults did not apologize or appear embarrassed. Racism is taught. #antiracist #edusky #historymatters

Today brings a juxtaposition of emotions: hope as I reflect on MLK, Jr. and his dream for our country - and fear as I see the direction our country is formally handing power to. So with that, I share a quote I plan to come back to often over the coming years when I can't seem to find the light.

Recuperating from the chaos of the past week with some sleepy pups and LEGOs. At least until the chaos begins again in a few days when family comes to visit (good chaos, but chaos nonetheless).

Calling all teachers 📣 I want to design some FigJam templates to help students with project planning (thinking goal setting, backwards mapping, keeping track of tasks, etc.). What would you want to see in these? What would help your Ss develop their self-directed learning skills? TY! #EduSky

Let me say this: Using alt-text on this platform for images is great AND, for GIFs, you should still edit it even if there’s already a description. The descriptions are mostly incomplete and people won’t get what you’re trying to do unless you describe it better. Please and thanks.
