Finding such joy in creating. Painting is therapy. Can’t stop - won’t stop. Doing what I love. #iamanartist #studio1212 #watercolor #abstract

Probably shouldn’t be surprising that a very New Orleans-centric lineup has been one of the best pregame shows in recent memory ⚜️

Ok, who WOULD you be cheering for today in your perfectly imperfect world of NFL teams? #whodey @cincinnatibengals.bsky.social #superbowl

I wasted too much time in life NOT doing these things. Not anymore, friends. Making the most of every page in my story. #risktaker #impartedjoy #EduSky @melrobbins.bsky.social

Unable 2 join #EduSkyChat last night… I am grateful. For this community. As educators, we are the most resilient + driven collection of humans. Keep finding your joy in this season of life. We need each other.

Every day is a new adventure. Grateful for a few days of rest. Make time to restore + refresh, educators! #EduSky #mentalhealth #rest #piperlou

It’s been a stressful week. Anxiety. Meltdowns. Tears. Harsh words. It happens, right? This evening I was getting my artwork ready to hang for the new exhibit at Studio 1212. ‘a glimpse of me’ + written in my hair are self-love affirmations. How ironic. I read them aloud. And meant it.

Today was full of self-induced stress. Anxiety high. Time management skills not as expected. But. Recalibration for me is to just step away. Count down from 5. Breathe. Read a book on my kindle, snuggle with my pup, watch RHOBH. #iwillbeok #EduSky

For me, it was always harnessing the balance of it all. Transitioning from traditional performance mindset to a growth-oriented one…resources, time, creativity. But seeing the investment when Ss feel empowered to take risks + learn to rise up in confidence? Priceless. #Ungradingchat #EduSky

With my 2nd graders, our fave was directed-drawings together. Each week, I let them vote + took time on Friday to create! All week they’d stay motivated to participate. Encouragement/kindness was HIGH as they learned they CAN draw…and loved it! Even the ‘non-drawers’ 😉 #BFC530 ##EduSky

Aww...it's a great start + so amazing to reconnect with #Edu friends! #EduSky

I have to FIRST be mindful of my own biases + assumptions. My goal is to LISTEN actively to all perspectives, especially those that challenge my own. My passion is to create safe spaces for DIVERSE viewpoints + encourage critical thinking WITH empathy. #EduSky #rethink_learning

SWEET. Bring a Spark of Joy to your PD #EduSky! 🦋 I am so excited that @edgeubadges.bsky.social is HERE! #PDonDemand #edgeu

Keep the magic of personal stories alive in edtech! Reflecting on how AI can authentically empower educators + Ss is key. Share YOUR unique experiences + insights. YOUR voice matters in shaping a thoughtful, responsible future for AI in learning. #Education #AIResponsibility #EduSky

In giving Ss or Ts feedback - what if we remove these two words from typical vocabulary: “Good job.” Think of authentic options to encourage + support. This is my DAILY goal + I find so much joy in the process! What’s your strategy? #EduSky

I encouraged Ss every way I creatively knew how. Understood when to push them to enjoy benefits, but knew it was frustration for my struggling Ss. My own son started to read for pleasure at 23. And that’s ok. I’ve watched him evolve + develop in HIS time to love reading. #BFC530 #EduSky
