Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Research shows the brain is far more active when we write by hand than when we type. Despite this, local authorities are spending millions on iPads for every pupil—a reckless decision amid declining literacy rates and other urgent pressures. Handwriting matters; we must not

Checking in at 8:45p.m. here in Latvia. The time difference plays a role. As does having a two year old :P #pubpdasia

#pubpdasia A1: At the beginning of the G6 year we have a parent night to introduce the parents to MS. We talk about screentime during this to set the stage for it the year. Having a town hall with the parent community may also be a good way to engage this stakeholder.

#pubpdasia A2: In terms of teen development, games offer a ton of potential benefits. The challenge is creating those games to work within the MYP Framework as well as meeting standards (as is my case), so the contrast of planning time vs effectiveness is a challenge.

#pubpdasia A3: Showing students how well they learn using prob. solving the "old way" is key. AI probably won't help with understanding if we rely on it. Teach them how to do both. Empower and give them options to honor their learning needs while helping with understandings.

#pubpdasia A4: Every student is diff. and learns in diff. ways. Some learners like paper , others devices, others audio. By adapting our planning to meet all students' we can best meet them. When I give students options in math, most choose paper, which can be surprising.

OMG, this is hilarious! Jeffries: America elected trump House MAGA: Raucous cheers Jeffries: Thank you for that applause. It's OK, there are no election deniers on our side 💀💀💀

Dear Apple Beats by Dre why do you make products that break in warranty and as soon as they’re out of warranty, need replacing? Seems like a massive scam. $300 for headphones, they should last longer than 2 1/2 years. Over $100/yr? Come on. I thought you were better than that.

I am a supporter of free trade and encouraging people to have their voices heard. One of the ways we can do that is what we purchase. As a result, I encourage everyone to stop purchasing anything made in the USA. There are always alternatives and most are far better.

Why does Trump feel like putting Tariffs on the EU: "They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products, they take almost nothing and we take everything from them. Millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products," he told journalists. Take a clue dummy!

So, USA, you’re good with full on dictatorship now? I mean seriously. No actions taken to stop him really. So, you’re, like, good with this?

Good to have you back.

Hey WestJet any possibility of continung the direct flights from YYT to anywhere in Europe for the Xmas season? We want to come home for Xmas but Air Canada is unafforable. Aer Lingus heard you might be doing something up on this front. Let's repost to get their attention.

Are we cooked? 😂

Hey Fantasy Footballers Mike Wright Might be starting my own Dynasty League for this upcoming season with some friends. I got the basics (roster size, using Sleeper, bench size, etc), but I keep hearing things about bylaws. What does this mean? And what's a Taxi Squad?

Whats people’s opinions of Little Bill (Croskey-Merrit)? Worth dropping Warren to pick him up on my bench? Full PPR dynasty. Fantasy Footballers @andyholloway Mike Wright Joshua Cho Matthew Betz

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this
