It's not too soon to get ready for #NaNoWriMo! Any of my edutweeps doing #NaNoWriMoYWP with their classes this year? I've already got a handful of students chomping at the bit.

As schools begin to go remote again, it's worth paying more attention to trauma-informed teaching practices, esp. around #edutech use. Here's a resource-laden infographic I made last year w/our school counselor. tinyurl.com/TIPTechnology #dtk12chat #edtech207 #edchatme #edtechchat

Nothing like a suitcase full of random junk kits for a #MakerEd workshop! Looking forward to talking #makerspaces and maker moments, and running a Random Materials Flash Lab! Hope to see some of my Maine edumaker folk at UMF tomorrow! #makerspace #edchatme #edtech207 #dtk12chat

When you run a #makerspace, and your own children know it, it's really hard to get away from making the costumes they really, really want. #startrektos #spock #makered #halloweencostume

6th grade junk band project in the #MakerSpace. I love my job so much. (For context, this project was mostly student-done. I helped with the engineering and trickier glue bits, but it was his design and vision!) #makered #notjunkifyouuseit

My students wrote over 40K words last night during our #NaNoWriMo write-in. Also, they kept sneakily adding dares every time I wasn't looking. Every time they did a dare, they put their name down (student names redacted for privacy). #nanowrimoywp

It is never too early to prep for #NaNoWriMo - I've already had students asking me about it! This is year 12, and I can't wait!! I've already put way too much time into this year's bulletin board. #CantStopWontStop #nanowrimoywp #RealVikingsWriteNovels

Aaaaand this year's #nanowrimoywp bulletin board is complete! Hand lettering drives me crazy, but as my #makerspace kids constantly point out, gotta let go of perfectionism! #nanowrimo #makered #goodenoughforabulletinboard

Struggling w/ #nanowrimo this year: can't seem to settle, no story feels exciting, everything I write feels like trash. This AM, one of my veteran student #nanowrimoywp #wrimos reminded me that 'bad words are better than no words' and my heart grew three sizes. #kidsarealright

Almost 10K total words in two and a half hours, and I'm not even writing! (managing too many new 6th grade writers--their first #NaNoWriMo Write-In is a big deal!). #nanowrimoywp #TheKidsAreAllWrite

Closing in on 8:30pm, 25 students still at the Write-In. Cumulatively, they've written over 35K just tonight! Highlights include seniors leading 6th graders in an outdoor yelling/jumping jack break. Also, some sweet #NaNoWriMo prizes await (fish not included) #nanowrimoywp

While we missed most of #CSEdweek (closed due to rampant flu! ugh!), we're so, SO excited to be one of 102 schools in the U.S. named a #CSLeader and awarded $10,000 by Code.org to expand computer science at our school. We'll be doing a CS Week Redux in January to celebrate.
