Momentum goes both ways.

Don’t move, feel sluggish. Start moving, feel like moving a little more.

Don’t talk, feel timid. Start chatting, conversation gets a little easier.

Don’t ship, feel stuck. Start creating, ideas begin to flow.

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

YES!!!!

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

Sometimes I think I'm bad at my job as an instructional tech coach when people are like, "How can I integrate technology into this activity more?" and I'm just like, "Maybe don't?"

Tech opens some really cool doors, but not all of those doors benefit focus or learning.

If a book sucks, stop reading it.

The best readers actually quit a lot of books. Life is too short to read books you don’t enjoy reading.

[Tony Vincent @tonyvincent]

Stir up curiosity and conversation with a "Baffling Blur." Blur parts of an image and invite students to make educated guesses about what has been blurred. 🧐 Keep the original image handy so you can reveal it.

You can use Canva to blur areas of an image.

@PearDeck Listening to an audiobook on the drive to work is my favorite, and therefore most essential, step in my morning routine!

@goguardian I love taking a long walk or getting dinner with friends to relax after a long day!

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

Love this idea to foster the home/school connection!

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Hear me out:

A show like “Shark Tank,” but instead of investors there are 5 teachers from different grades, subjects and backgrounds. And people are pitching the “newest” ED tech and teaching strategies, and the teachers have to agree if it is worth the time and money.

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

@heymrsbond I love this one from Amazon! I serve 6 buildings, but it's held up well! https://t.co/EQoIigWA8u

"The question is not: will today be a good day?

Every day is a good day.

The question is: how much good will you get out of today?"

If we want students to read for enjoyment, shouldn't we let them read what they enjoy? Reading is reading.

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

Great advice!

[Gretchen Rubin @gretchenrubin]

One common happiness stumbling block? Making a tough decision. To decide between apples and oranges, to weigh pros and cons…it’s difficult.

To navigate this issue in my own life, I consider these key questions. A thread.

Love these Keep hacks! Keep is one of the most under-appreciated tools in the Google Suite!

Loved @jmattmiller saying that #ChatGPT and #AI can be great tools for education but to be effective we must use them with a teacher brain and a teacher heart!

#AI is a great tool, but it can't replace our humanity!

@gretchenrubin "The Brutal Telling" By Louise Penny and "Wintering" by Katherine May

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

This holds students accountable AND supports those who might be struggling to grasp the concept!

[Celeste Joy @Celeste_EdTech]

Absolutely love this! If you work with seniors or college students, an opportunity like this is such a wonderful investment.

[Elizabeth Chapman Sun @lizmchapman]

I’ve always struggled with how to close up my time with my seniors, and I think I found something I like this year: an invitation to let me treat them to a coffee and catch up whenever (and if) they want.

I hope some of them will take me up on it!
