Spent a fascinating day in Columbus with Lori, meeting with the State Teachers Retirement System and exploring the possibilities ahead. 34 years in education--27 in the classroom as a 7th grade ELA teacher and 8 as Director of Innovation and Instruction. This is not an announcement. 💪

3 of 5: Positivity is paramount. From my podcast to my writings & speaking, even my leadership philosophy, positivity is the KEY for me. My contributions to BlueSky will be to grow positivity and be solution focused, not a place to blame, vent, argue, complain nor gossip. I am following positivity.

2 of 5: I have always benefited from having “spaces” to share ideas and get feedback. I think BlueSky is perfect for that. Even if no one else sees it, it is so good to post and reflect.

1 of 5: I’ve been very slow to begin posting on BlueSky for so many reasons, but taking a bigger step tonight and really try it out. I have always believed IMPACT is NOT about BIG numbers, but I’ve allowing that to keep me from posting here. Shame on me. Already learned from so many.

How people respond to you when good things happen to you, is a declaration of the level of their friendship. If you love others you are genuinely happy for them. Cheer for others. Be an encourager. Celebrate others.

Had a blast today sharing my Apple Education Community forum post on how to improve student wellness & achievement with Apple settings & apps. We had an international audience. Ireland. I want people to see devices as tools for creation & learn how to use Apple settings to improve self regulation.
