New year, new view. I made it to a mapping quadrant called Roraima. It’s named after the northern-most state of Brazil and Mount Roraima. The terrain in the Roraima region on Earth is similar to this area on Mars – flat-topped hills and some steep slopes. go.nasa.gov/3HAdjQZ

I made a thing. I am quite proud of it. Retrieval practice excel spreadsheet that supports pictures. Ideal for physics and other subjects that are picture heavy. Retrieval practice tweeps please rt and share widely. drive.google.com/uc?export=down…

A patient pulled their mask down and coughed on me today when I told them they should be tested for Covid. Most of my family thinks this isn't real. The government has just given up. I have $96k invested in a career that's given me severe depression. I just give up. I'm done.

43 of my 149 were gone today. This is the 4th straight day of with 40 or more gone. I'm trying my best to give the best possible instruction, feedback, while trying to catch people up or provide opportunities while they are at home. It is beyond hard. I am failing.

Here's the public comment (that, along with 14 others, Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) board Angelica Infante decided to hear & then not address tonight). TY to all who continue to speak up for our students, teachers and families. We all deserve better.

Thankful for this snow day for so many reasons. Above all, I’m thankful I was able to see my son’s first steps. Absolute joy this morning. #WeAreTriton

My boyfriend asked me what the pinnacle of success in education is. The best I could come up with is Teacher of the Year. Today an old friend won an Emmy. I’m looking at it in amazement, but also wondering.. what do I have to show for my career? How are we teachers celebrated?

I want to see your Wordle as much as I want to see your morning run and what you had for dinner last night.

NOW is the time to get excited about increasing daylight. I always caution people that yes the solstice marks the low point, but much of January is slow to gain. February however we gain 1 hour, 18 mins: 3 minutes per day by late in the month! ☀️

Groundhog Day is this week! 🎉🎉🎉 Here is a NEW choice board...Let's Learn About Groundhog Day and a super fun #STEAM project from our friends at 3Duxdesign 💡 buff.ly/3FEphYf #STEM #tlchat #futurereadylibs #edchat #edtech #ISTElib

I never want to hear the term “burn out” again. Teachers are not passively burnt out, it’s not a natural disaster that can’t be prevented. We are purposefully beat down. And when we leave, it’s survival. We can’t - and shouldn’t have to - take constant intentional beating.

Life doesn't have a remote. You have to get up and change the channel.

My new favorite thing! #WeAreTriton
