Great day with @BeekmantownCSD 6th graders! Took a few to visit @ChamplainEdu's Game Studio. Learned all about the various jobs/majors in the video game industry and got to play test student projects. #BMSthePlace2B
Had a great idea for a #PBL project for my @PLTWorg Ss. Create a treat dispenser for our wonderful therapy dog Laci Mae. Some came out working quite well! Others...didn't survive Laci's curiosity... #BMSthePlace2B @BeekmantownCSD
My daughter and I just test built @kiwico_inc's levitating lantern! The S's at @BrilliantCFES/@BeekmantownCSD's STEM camp are going to love it! Learning about circuits and tensegrity in one cool project! #STEM #BMSthePlace2B
My #computerscience students: "Mr. Y can we talk about Doritos for 5 minutes and time how long it takes for us to get targeted ads on our devices?" Me (thinking of ways to justify it's educational value):
Fun and inspiring day at @BeekmantownCSD thanks to @ShineOnGirls and @zomicamax. What an experience for our Ss speaking with @NASA astronauts currently on the Int'l Space Station! Kudos to the 8th graders who presented to thousands of other kids! #BMSThePlace2B.
So excited! @PLTWorg Ss in 6th starting a project in collaboration w/The Game Studio at @ChamplainEdu and @BrilliantCFES. Creating a board game based on a theme learned in any other class. Learning design process, modern game design, and more! #STEAM #BMSthePlace2B
Loving the new #techcoach side of my job! #CHESWeAreTheBest
Mr Yonteff teaching my 4th grade class some interesting features in Google Slides. He returns on Tuesday to help implement these features in the students book reports. Thank you! @DYonteff @StoutengerCHES @BeekmantownCSD @MannixDan @SJPaquetteEdu @MBishopCHES
My 6th grade @PLTWorg Ss really knocked out out if the park designing therapeutic toys for their engineering final. Super proud! #BMSthePlace2B
Yesterday my daughter brought home more candy and treats than she did for Halloween from her classes "card exchange". Has Valentine's day just become Pink Halloween?
Sportball of any kind means extremely little to me in my day to day life, but I love that @Google allows you to search for "superb owl" and will give you a relevant result!

Proud to be part of the newest corporate video from @westelmarketing youtu.be/r-Vx8lnEHRA Nicely done!
Just got my jab. Quick, easy, and (mostly) painless! No lollipop or sticker though #kidatheart. Thank you to @ClintonCountyHD and all workers for the amazing job you're doing!
An email from one of my @PLTWorg 6th graders today opened with asking how my day was, then continued with "My day has been like an eggshell in your eggs"! Never heard a frustrating day described so well! Good thing he was just angry at a project partner. #BMSthePlace2B
A recently former student got an Atari 2600 for his mother as a b-day gift. Explaining how this works was so alien to him yet so nostalgic to me! #oldtech #lifelonggamer
My heart is sick. This is not the America I love, or the one I want my daughter growing up in. Stop this. Peace. Now.
I love @gimkit, but this new Trust No One mode is
even more awesome! All my Among Us obsessed @PLTWorg Ss were heavily engaged and reinforcing their measuring skills. Now we just need to get their debate skills past the "X is sus!" "No I'm not!" point...

"Hey Mr. Yonteff, I'm done with my @PLTWorg assignment. What should I do?"
"I dunno Makenna, how about build #BabyYoda in @tinkercad?"
Ask and ye shall receive. Perfect way to celebrate season 2!
#STEM #TheMandalorian #BMSthePlace2B
How do you get your @PLTWorg #DM class to go from hyper to hyper engaged? Start with a @gimkit all about @tinkercad! The Humans vs. Zombies element didn't hurt either... #STEM #BMSthePlace2B
