Kobe Bryant didn’t just play basketball; he studied it like a language. His legacy is a reminder that anything worth mastering begins with curiosity and ends with unrelenting pursuit.

Five years on, the world hasn’t felt the same. A reminder that his impact transcended the game, reshaping how we define greatness and perseverance.

Forever in our thoughts, Mamba 🐍

In honor of JRR Tolkien’s birthday, I again share my mantra for 2025…

[NASA @NASA]

We're all on this rock together, starting a new orbit around the Sun. Here's to new opportunities, discoveries, and moments of joy in 2025!

Happy New Year from all of us at NASA 💫

[Tim Smyth @historycomics]

My mantra for 2025 and I’ll be sharing it often. We’ve been here before and can make progress if we work together. I refuse to give in.

Less is more.

The less “new” that comes our way in education, the “more” likely it is that we can create exceptional learning experiences for every single learner. When we are thoughtful of what we add, and subtract, this creates a space for staff to develop knowledge, opportunities for application, and ultimately, expertise.

When many talk about the idea of innovation in education, it is often focused on doing “new things” but it should be on doing “better” things. How can we ever become good at something if we have no time to practice or deepen our knowledge?

Many organizations (including education) are always touting being on the “cutting edge” as they are embracing the “latest and greatest” technologies or even perhaps strategies. 

The problem with this focus is that if you are consistently focused on doing the “new” thing, you probably never had a chance to get good at the last item or initiative.  It is a cycle that continues over and over again.

Being “future ready” does not disregard important strategies from the past. They are viewed as foundations to be built upon.

There will always be new opportunities available in education, and also things that we should no longer do. New does not equal “good” and “traditional” does not equal bad. It is about what serves learners, no matter the time that the practice originated.

But, if you believe that something is imperative to add on to an already full plate of educators, you don’t simply ask for a bigger plate–you look at what can be removed.

Less is more.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, one of the most exciting all-around players in the history of our sport.

Mays was a two-time MVP, 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In commemoration of "The Catch" as perhaps the most famous play in the history of the Fall Classic, the World Series MVP Award was named in his honor in 2017.

Mays was 93 years old.
