This morning, I helped another publisher in editing a book on teaching. I often assist authors and publishers in helping make their materials engaging and relevant to current students. I have a lot to offer if you ever need help.

Happy Friday! Does my super deodorant qualify me for being weird? 😆 My kindest students are always the readers.

When my daughter was in 1st grade “I'm reading a grown up book, Daddy!" Yes, yes you are! Then I heard her little voice reading to me from across the room, "It's a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife"

My students who annotate and interact with text and images (political cartoons, propaganda, media literacy, etc.) on the deepest level are comics readers. Same skills. We are all teachers of reading and writing.

A beautiful dawn of a new day. The view of the lake from my house this morning. Here comes the Sun….

Vote.

Vote today. How dare we not.

So thankful that my son and I share a lot of the same passions. Can’t wait to put mine up in my classroom.

I am presenting to area school district superintendents on the role of social media and education. What would you want them to know on its impact/uses on/for students and teachers.

Don’t be so hard on yourself today.

Don’t forget…

When opening a lesson on media literacy…

Working on presentation to 31 superintendents/charter school CEOs on Monday morning at Gwynedd Mercy University.topic is social media in classroom. I am the ONLY speaker. I am terrifyingly excited for this opportunity. Of course, I’ll leave & teach for the second half of the day 😆. Wish me luck!

When you make time to have them read…

Public Service Announcement

We got this! Happy Halloween to my educator peeps.

Co-sign. You are missing out if you are not following @pbsnewsclassroom.bsky.social and attending their educator chats! We are not in this alone….

My shirts this week…

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI. I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

Had to laugh…. I lost a part of my lesson for tomorrow. I went to our library, borrowed a copy of my book, and found it!

Some conversation starters for ELA or Psych…. LOL.

Love my daily chuckle.

The kids blew me away today. Learning about fairy/folk tales as examples of nationalism -students created &shared their own tales. Some are too personal to share.The topics they decided tackle gives a powerful window into their world. I am so proud of them.I laughed & cried today. It was a good day.

So much to be upset about - I wanted to do something to feel empowered. I attended a meeting tonight at Arcadia University (I received my BA History degree and teaching cert there) where I will be a mentor for a group of current students. I am excited to get started!

This week’s messon. Music from @PublicEnemyFTP @MrChuckD @LostCauze , comics from Kyle Baker. Connections on what is left out of history textbooks and why, methods of genocide and dehumanization, Tuskegee experiments, racial justice today. Full lesson in my book. #TeachingWithComics

Every time, I will turn to whoever is in my car and say - Stay on target… stay on target…. 😆

Yo!!!!! Oh wow. I have been missing out - just had my mind blown! How did I not know this existed before today? Now I’ve got to watch the anime…. Also wish I had a PS3 to play the game…

Our lesson was highlighted in the district newsletter today!

An amazingly powerful book. My wife and I were honored to create this guide - showcasing the power of visual literacy.

Perfect Halloween season reading! Always love hooking kids on reading by connecting literature to their favorite shows! @getunderlined #GetUnderlinedPartner - thank you for the perfect bookmail! Can’t wait to share with my students.

We are all teachers of reading. Reading builds literacy - it’s that simple. www.leeandlow.com/wp-content/u...

Love!

Just watched and loved Aztec Batman. The documentary on the historical research on the DVD alone is great to show in class. Currently lesson planning around this….

All of this!

Mikey and I agree - it all counts as reading.

For those keeping count - that’s two governments toppled by Gen Z as we continue to talk about the connection to One Piece…. Students are very interested in discussion the role of youth and change.

You say toys… I say educational research materials. Pop culture has always been influenced by the world around us.

Cannot wait to bring this to school for my World History course.

Wow. Oh wow!
