So excited to share that @GDEFinc is funding an @RobotifyLabs pilot program for Grade 6 next year. My current 5th graders had a sneak peek today and can’t wait to experience it!

Curiosity and perseverance for the win. Also, never too old to learn or try something new!
Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

@elinhilderbrand it’s not really July without your latest Summer read (but time to grab dinner - your food descriptions make me so hungry)!
Some WONDERful coding with LEGO tops happening in the Swallow Union Tech/Innovation Lab! #legoDASHup #coding #edtech #gdrsdchat
Swallow Union students were “treated” to a morning greeting from our tiger mascot on Spirit Day! @peter_myerson @SusanEWynn #gdrsdchat
After 2.5 decades as a “Specials” teacher, there have been times of feeling that many resources are best suited for classroom teachers. I’m excited to check out a book that can help me help my students succeed in our iLab!

@Verizon just spent 90 minutes total with two separate amazing service reps who went above and beyond with my phone upgrade and at-home FIOS issues. Very impressed with the level of personal communication!

I am totally fangirling over @KatieNovakUDL feature in @cultofpedagogy. Can't wait to dig into this!
This Kodable video was a nice way to introduce the concept of Pi Day (tomorrow!) to my 1st graders as we segue into our Coding Unit youtu.be/Cd4gI1Xsfpo
Sad that I won’t be able to experience the in-person excitement of MASSCUE, but it’s great to know I can watch sessions “On Demand” next week during the break! #MASSCUE
The 4th grade student equivalent of “If you give a Mouse a Cookie”. The simplest things spark so much joy and creativity in these kiddos! #gdrsdchat #lovemyjob
Would be lost without Screencastify this year. It's been so helpful in creating mini-lessons and tutorials for my hybrid and remote students to watch (and re-watch if needed)! #gdrsdchat #TopScreencaster
This year's #HourOfCode is about #CSforGood. I’m in! Are you? (Thanks @HenryRKravis for supporting @codeorg) hourofcode.com

So true! You are either part of the problem or, hopefully, part of the solution.
Carrying the banner for your school begins with loving your school, plain and simple. Do you exude a positive energy that shows you want to be there each day? We are in the kid business! Being educators shouldn’t be viewed as work. It’s a calling.
