Filling my cup with a @teachbetterteam.bsky.social Ambassador Hangout 🥰

So excited to share the Grid love with @teachbetterteam.bsky.social Ambassadors tonight!

we should teach English like books mean things

People of Bluesky, let's get to know each other better. What is your all-time favorite TV show? Quote share your answer in gif form.

Don't mind me, over here, doing a @quizizz.bsky.social ELA innovator micro-course over my lunch break and freaking the heck out at all the things I didn't know quizizz could do 🤯

I'd forgotten the chaos that erupts when a class spies flurries out the window... #FirstSnowfall

Thank you everyone for making our first #EduSkyChat a success!

A3: I think Brisk is my Ed tech try. I have a school Google for Edu account that won’t run it, so I need the time and mental bandwidth to play with it on my personal account. #EduSkyChat

A2: New favorite Edtech tool is probably quizizz. Same kinds of gamification as other sites but less head-to-head competition (not as ruthless) AND an option for mastery learning. #EduSkyChat

A1: Classic Ed tech tool I rely on is Google Forms, especially the branching forms. Great for so many contexts. #EduSkyChat

Megan, middle school English teacher a little late to the #EduSkyChat party!

A1: My grading philosophy is grounded in feedback feedback feedback. The point should be, by the time we do something that "counts", you've had lots of practice and feedback from me. All my kids have As? Excellent! Means they know the material. #UngradingChat

Are you looking for other literacy leaders (department chairs, coaches, supervisors, directors, or state-level coordinators) to connect with? Check out our ELA & Literacy Leader Starter Pack. Respond to this post or the quoted post if you're a literacy leader. Repost if able. go.bsky.app/7Wwr27e

A3: I'm hesitant about getting back into running. I fell a few weeks back during my long run and ended up in the ER. I'm set to run my first marathon in January, so I need to run, but I have a trauma reaction that didn't exist before. #PopUpChat

Process > Product

A2: I don't feel like I have a secret hack, but I for sure am going to steal some of these 😁 #PopUpChat

A1: I am intentionally not following some accounts (for the sake of my mental health), but I love Derek Guy. Fashion is a thing all in itself. #PopUpChat

Megan Balduf, middle school ELA teacher, definitely Team No Glitter, as pretty as it is. #PopUpChat

For quite a while, my #edutwitter feed has been filled with hard politics and snark, and while education is inherently political, I want to get back to where I can share ideas and learn from others. Excited about the possibilities of #edusky
