We’ve been outside for about 40 minutes I think, they told us to find shade, at least the damn Duolingo owl is done yelling at me for the day :)

So I share a classroom, and during my plan an English class is taught inside. They were about to start an essay on Antigone....and I looked at the teachers, and said, can I introduce everyone to @classcompanion.bsky.social nion_ and I may have hooked teachers and students alike!

For the last two days, our Lion Time students have been working on the @adobeexpress.adobe.com #AugustChallenge, creating a stylized generative portrait of themselves. For many of them, it was their first exposure to image generation, and it was fun listening to them discuss their prompts!

So, searched “my crash out anthem” and….our evil robot overlords nailed it. I think I’ve listened to this track about a million times since it released….

OMG it's time for a week of magic!!! Its @adobelive.bsky.social #CommunityWeek. Who else is super excited?? #AdobeCreativeEdu

OMG Have yall seen the ad for this new wonder drug called @wayground.bsky.social ? It may really help me out when things seem to be thinning out up there because with wayground there’s a way to do anything!!

When @kyleniemis.bsky.social's email this morning about the new @wayground.bsky.social #SSInnovator badge said I could put it wherever makes me happiest, my mind immediately went to.......

I'm also super excited to share that I've been selected to be an @everfik12 #Champion for the third year in a row! Together with a dynamic community of educators from across the country, we’re ensuring that all schools have access to essential skills education! Let’s spread the magic of EVERFI! 💙

I've almost secured a Blackout from @everfik12's #LearnOn25, but several regular BINGOs will suffice! I'm excited to find new ways to integrate their courses again this year!

I'm excited for a busy day of personal learning with day 2 of the @edpuzzle summit, #LearnOn25 with @everfik12, and the new rollout of @getschoolai updates this afternoon! My brain is going to explode!

After the #EdtechSmackdown at #ISTELive, make your way up to the posters section of the Convention Center, and you'll find me at table 23 talking about how TTRPGs have transformed my teaching from 3:30-5:00, sharing with other passionate educators, and I have some unique swag!

Today at 3:30 in Hemsfair Ballroom 2, come witness the greatness that is the #EdtechSmackdown at #ISTELive. Come see me take on these Jabronis and explain why Brisk is the App that ought to reign supreme! You might also see me do something WILDLY out of character =-)

I hope to see ya'll in 90 minutes at the @briskteaching.bsky.social booth! I've got some good (bad) dad/bbq jokes, and my hot takes on why I love Brisk so much!

Tomorrow is a packed day of presentations for me at #ISTELive! I'll kick off my schedule with a 10:30 session at @briskteaching.bsky.social 's booth! I hope to use my lifetime of eating Kansas City BBQ to give you some tips on cooking a proper brisk-it!

Wildlife experts are reporting that #conferencedad is leaving his natural habitat for the @isteofficial.bsky.social convention center #ISTELive. What are some facts to know about this rare species? This nature documentary will help you out!

After a whole ass day at the KC and Houston airports, did I find #ISTELive?

I finally got to dig into my @briskteaching.bsky.social #clubbrisk swag box and I’m excited! I will definitely be love sweating while rocking that sweatshirt at #istelive25

I've finally figured a bit of my life out for @isteofficial.bsky.social #ISTE2025 If you want to see me in action, here's where you can see my shenanigans! I'll be sharing my love of @briskteaching.bsky.social @schoolai.com @edpuzzle.com @magicschoolai.bsky.social #Everfi and More!!!!

Holy shmoly, as we now start heading south to leave SD can I just say that the Badlands are beautiful!!

Headed home, but more national park stops!!! A fascinating quick look into the Cold War through the lens of rural America!

Did you know that in Rapid City there is an old WPA project called the Dinosaur park? It’s a great walk, beautiful views, the good and the bad historically, and it’s fun for your kiddos?

Today we got to visit with the kiddos one of our favorite places ever at crazy horse. Can you see what has changed from now vs 2014?

Today I got to see something pretty cool (tomorrows is going to be cooler) and I got to take @edpuzzle.com and @edgeubadges.bsky.social to new heights (literally).

Ok, where am I at now?

It’s beautiful out here on this stop. Any guesses where we are today?

On this moist #TechTshirtTuesday at the Omaha zoo of course I’m rocking my @edpuzzle.com hoodie and my @schoolai.com space camp tshirt #eduguardians

Did you know the ataris have a new single and I’ve got a new job :)

I'm nervous and EXCITED for not one, but THREE sessions at #ISTELive @isteofficial.bsky.social @ascdofficial.bsky.social a poster on TTRPGs, a Turbo Talk on Active learning, and showcasing my love of @schoolai.com in the #InnovationArcade

It is absolutely amazing to see @subradioband.bsky.social get the praise that they deserve!!! If you haven’t listened to anything, do yourself the service of tuning in!

I had to delay my #TechTshirtTuesday post to showcase my amazing new @retroreport.org hoodie with my favorite @edpuzzle.com shirt. I’m also rocking a feet pic with my amazing @quizizz.bsky.social socks!

As I head home I didn’t forget about #techtshirttuesday I’m showing my love for @schoolai.com and @magicschoolai.bsky.social today. And I’m still wearing a hoodie at the end of April because it’s like 65

And so it begins

Ok, the new Netflix documentary on Pangolins is pretty excellent!

Todays #TechTshirtTuesday I’m rocking my #EVERFI champion sweatshirt, a new set of @schoolai.com beads and a sweet @brainpop.bsky.social fanny pack which has my passes and more!

New music from #ScaryKidsScaringKids in this economy?!?!?!!

OMG! Who's got two thumbs and is shocked and excited to be #InDaClerb with @briskteaching.bsky.social?

I was today years old when I learned about Matt Cutshall and all of the @emosnotdead.bsky.social music videos. I have found my new obsession….productivity today will be low….

I have always had the utmost respect for Vermes but the game evolved & the last 3-4 seasons he refused to adapt. I want to thank him for all of the success, memories, and elevation of the game in KC. The decision is overdue, but I’m excited to see what the next chapter brings.

Where it all started! Thank you @pbsnewsclassroom.bsky.social for asking me to write this article 9 years ago! Passion is contagious. We need to let our teachers be their authentic selves. Comics = literacy. www.pbs.org/newshour/edu...

It has been really strange not coaching speech in the spring for the first time in almost 20 years. But today I get to make a different coaching debut, today the U6 #SuperSonicShadows take the pitch for the first time!

Now that i am on my way home, it is time to decide if i ought to relent… what say you @donotrelent.bsky.social

Is it weird that I made my students watch some #RWF @teamliquid.com #LiquidRWF coverage while we were working on projects today? It was fun explaining @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com to my middle schoolers!

It is my favorite time of day to decide if I ought to relent or not…although I’ve only played less than an hour of the new patch @donotrelent.bsky.social

I was never in the “need to tattoo this lyric on myself” phase of my life….and then I got really into #HotMulligan and I’m now considering it!

Has anyone taken down @MarklondonMCS as sexiest man in comics? We'll see if #HouroftheWolf (and the other title in my #toBinge) pile change my perspective. This is what I'm diving into before taking kiddos to practices tonight! @madcavestudios

You give me a space and quantum/particle physics story and I'm probably going to love it no matter what. This @madcavestudios title from one of my favorites in Zack Kaplan and an amazing team of artists has me salivating for more!

My next #ToRead #ToBinge from @madcavestudios was #Hexiles 1-4 this team of @cullenbunn and company bring this demonically twisted tale to life in a terrifyingly beautiful fashion.

The next several sets of books in my #ToRead pile are all from @madcavestudios, which is exciting to have a full short box from what might be my favorite publisher. #TheBodyTrade was one heck of a start, I'm glad I could binge this series, because I don't know if I could have waited between releases

I'm a huge sucker for Gillen and everyone who creates with him because there is always an excellent synergy! I'm getting caught up on The Power Fantasy 1-5 because 6 comes out this week!

This blowup between Wes and Mr. Pectacular in S2E10 of House of Villains is the sort of confidence I wish I had in myself
