The Transformation Whenever I tell someone what I do, they look at me like they just ate thebarf jelly bean in the BeanboozledJelly Belly collection. How could you…why would you… I could never…. I get it. Teaching 8th graders can be brutal. Not many would tout their early teensyears as a time they…

Scroll With Purpose: Why the HPE Collective Should Be One of Your Daily Stops Let’s be real—we all scroll. It’s baked into our routine. Coffee. Email. Group text. Twitter (not so much anymore). Bluesky (not what we hoped it'd be… still time though!). TikTok. Scroll, scroll, scroll. So… why not…

"Teaching 8th graders can be brutal. Not many would tout their early teens years as a time they would ever want to go back to, so why have I chosen to walk side by side with 13 and 14 year olds for over two decades?" - Ann Hagedorn #microblog slowchathealth.com/2025/05/16/t...

Mourning the Athlete I Could Have Been—and Coaching the Next Generation of Women’s Sports to Be Unstoppable For years, I carried the weight of a dream that was never fully realized. Not because I lacked talent, drive, or love for the game, but because I let toxic male coaches take it away from me.…

Inspired! Thank you Matt. #EduSky

Why have none of you told me about Notebook LM? My head is spinning with ideas right now. I'd love to know some of the innovative ways that you are using it. I'm intrigued to create short podcasts for students to listen to (while walking) and then act upon question prompts. #EduSky

The way that the 2025 Best Practices in Health & PE Conference is starting to take shape...I can't wait to make announcements! Make sure to save the date! July 28-30 in Stevens Point, WI! If you want in on presenting, make sure you reach out! #PhysEd #HealthEd

🤯

Hearing crickets after asking if anyone has questions? Teachers share their solutions to a common classroom challenge. #EduSky

My weird/hot take is that using AI as a teacher leads to more human interactions with students because of the time saved doing tasks that can be automated quickly. Allowing more 1:1 touch points with students is a win for the classroom. #EduSkyAI #EduSky
