A3: Flexible seating! Students can get up and move when they need. Put yourself in the situation where you are going to get your best work done #DedhamPSEdTech

A4: Just finished a fiction writing unit that encouraged Ss to "write the story they think should be in the world". Their personal connection with the work brought their best work and great engagement #DedhamPSEdTech

A6: Playlists and hyperdocs hit the sweet spot! Can be self-paced, keep Ss engaged and supplement what you teach in so many valuable ways #DedhamPSEdTech

This is how I’ve returned to school every year of my career

Hyperdocs and Slide Decks have changed my teaching (thanks Dr. Catlin Tucker !). I’m trying to identify what units I teach can be converted and be impactful for my students. Just switched my short story unit into one #FuseMA #blendedlearning

Staff ID badge came in today. Great news is that if any Guns ‘N Roses cover band needs an emergency fill in, I can step in!

A big congrats to my good friend and college teammate. You got a good one Wheaton!

It might not be how I imagined my return to the classroom but counting my blessings today as I get back in here

There’s lots of challenges this year including switching rooms while teaching. But taking a moment and appreciating a beautiful fall view from the science classroom i wouldn’t have ever gotten a chance to appreciate otherwise

We’re celebrating our return to full in-person learning today by ditching our chromebooks and answering the question posed by Mary Oliver in “The Summer Day”: Tell me, what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?

This morning we’re discussing the importance of clear communication in our book group discussions using Nate Bargatze iced coffee debacles @NatelandPodcast
