There's little difference between a sinking ship...and a ship on fire, headed no place nice, and full of screaming lunatics :)

VIRTUAL TEACHERS NEEDED: If you're ready to switch to online teaching, my district is hiring. This is my 2nd year working from home and I still love it. There's openings at my high school & the new middle school- just search for 'virtual' or 'iSVA'

Virtual school is different than traditional brick and mortar school, but we can still make a difference in our students' lives. Making connections online is difficult, but not impossible. Here's some positive feedback from last year's students...
Bonus feature of TCEA Convention being virtual this year: you can learn in your jammies, sandals, robe, or whatever housewear makes you most comfy.
Also you can bring your dog or cat :)

@smpattenaude@TCEA I love that we both chose the same quote about teaching (Shows why we're both awesome educators)
But your Twitter banner looks classier than my Harry Potter meme
Also check out this website called "Quote Investigator"- it's like snopes for quotations: https://t.co/0PrkFiCHQt

Memes: Using the Language of the Internet to Connect with Students
#EDUmemes@TCEA#IDEAcon#memes#LaughAndLearn
Apparently, my students don't think I'm that funny- they were surprised that I've done improv comedy
They discussed why I'd be a good kid party magician (never done that) and why I wouldn't be a delivery driver (I drove for Conan's Pizza in Austin my junior & senior year at UT)
You have chosen wisely @TCEA- the proposals y'all accepted are timely and engaging
But.. it would have been fun to explore student collaboration online. Anyone can use Google apps to turn in work, but what about using it to help students LEARN TOGETHER? #edumemes#edutwitter
My 23rd year of teaching will be online. I left a school I loved to teach from a virtual charter school. I know most districts are starting online, but who knows when we'll be back on campus? Did anyone else feel like they had to leave a great campus this year? #LastClassroom
WOW: I was moved by this video of SST San Antonio's STEM+ festival. Science experiments, tech projects, visitors from NASA, physics demonstrations, lighting things on fire, dancing, Baby Yoda, and most importantly- HAPPY STUDENTS!

I dressed up for Star Wars Day, but it slipped my mind to post here on #edutwitter. Why did I forget it until today? I don't know, maybe it was the #RevengeOfTheFifth

Right now, I'm less concerned with test scores & learning objectives as I am with students' overall well-being. The results of this question made me smile, knowing that kids at home are accomplishing things & learning new skills on their own

Abracadabra! My students have an 'Online Portal' with everything they need on one screen: links to the school website, their Google Classrooms, my Zoom schedule, links to their other classes, Covid info & more. All their online stuff is in one place #SSTfamily#AnySuggestions
My coworkers & my home office: Stella is the wise and tenured doggo, Mabel is the plucky new intern, and Sharkus Maximus (Sharkey to his friends) is obviously the boss of all of us. I miss my students and colleagues, but this isn't bad either. #SpringBreak2020#HappyHealthyHome
Last Friday, a group of teachers from SST got together to experiment with Zoom. Since some of us will be using it next week, we all shared what we know about it while learning new things, too. This is us introducing our cats and dogs to each other. #zoom#BabySimba@SSTmaincampus
