If you’re looking for a coding platform for kids, I highly recommend BSD Education. They’ve partnered with me to develop our programming projects for Design Technology. My students have loved learning about app development, wearable technology, and game development! #lifeatICS

What?! This is both scary and super cool! LOL 😂

Let's practice unequivocal responses to racism in colleagues, family, friends, and ourselves, online or not, so that they are at our mental fingertips in the moment of their need: Specific, Candid, and Helpful Responses to Expressions of Racism and Bias: amle.org/BrowsebyTopic/…

“We must ask ourselves: How am I complicit? How can I grapple with my own racist behaviors and beliefs? How can I further educate myself on this global phenomenon? How can I do better?”

White people: We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time. Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change. 👇🏽

I’ve officially started my new role as Director of Teaching & Learning. While things look really different right now, I’m SUPER excited to learn, grow, and serve the ICS Community! #lifeatICS

Today grade 5 had a challenge. If you had one Tweet that the entire world could read, what would you say? This thread shows those tweets! I don't think everyone in the world will read them, but with some retweets maybe a large number will?

Here’s my advice as a tech coach: Stop. Trying. All. The. Things. And if anyone makes you feel otherwise, stop taking advice from them. Focus on pedagogy and the student experience. The tools are going to change tomorrow. Good pedagogy won’t.

There’s a big difference✨

This got me - can’t stop laughing! 😂
