Things I never thought I would have to say “I know it’s a creative writing task, but I will not accept it if it has more than 3 skibidis” #middleschool

Did I just find the computer games of my childhood? Yes. Have I lost time playing 8bit and 64bit Aldo, PacMan, and Pinball? Also yes. retrogames.cz

I just got a sneak preview of the latest from Diffit and I love how much can be customized (and saved as a personal template) to best align with my own students.

While I’m gushing over Diffit, I want to thank them for acknowledging how challenging teaching is, especially the first year. First year teachers can utilize Diffit for FREE web.diffit.me/first-year-tea…

Just put the finishing touches on two PD presentations for next week about Diffit and digital design. Note to future self: just one proposal is enough.

I've decided to use a Digital Teacher Planner this year. Of course I found inspiration on SlidesMania 💛. I just changed the color scheme and customized the lesson plan layout to include a section for assignments and Canvas Announcements.

I started using kiva.org when teaching about microloans in Geography class. Now I let my daughter re-invest the credits kiva.org/invitedby/lisa… #microloan #kivalove

After an increase in students who choose to not do anything, I used Canva Education to design some new classroom posters. I needed something to frame the learning as lessons offered (aka taught), but students have to be willing to engage and try.

I have things I need to do to feel prepared to start the school year, but I need my class roster first and the shell for Canvas LMS, both are outside my control.

I thought just having a cycling migraine for 80 days was bad, but it’s gotten worse. Two consecutive nights of the pillow causing shooting pain and visual auras. So now I’m beyond exhausted from not sleeping and have a migraine.

Birthdays are different as an adult. I was excited to spend my birthday attending a conference about AI (and also present about Diffit Wayground (formerly Quizizz) and Brisk Teaching). It took a couple days, but now processing some of the ideas and tools I learned about.

Reflecting on which tools I will use as a teacher this school year. Still formulating the plan for the go-to student resources this year.
