Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

All this #edtech stuff is fine, but what I really want is to be able to mark my students classwork as submitted on Google classroom.

That feeling when you're planning out a new unit and you know the students you'll be teaching and it's gonna be so fun! (Also any suggestions for post-colonial texts ex-Things Fall Apart greatly appreciated 👍🏼)

Rewatching the Good Place. The real trolley problem episode is inspired. I love this show.

Just began reading Philip Roth's *The Plot Against America* (@nytimes 100 books of the 21c.) 2004 with very 2024 vibes. 😬.

I've been on BS for about two days and already got so many ideas for units, assessments and lessons. Thanks #edusky

Why do I always get sick after school trips?

Last day of grade 11 field trip to Berlin. What did we learn? Without phones, humans can have deep and interesting conversations at dinner; teach each other cards, create battleships from paper. 🦖 🦕 are awesome; two hour walking tours can get chilly. I am so proud of our kids.

Up there with the best films of all time. Fact.
