oof sorry, unfollowing now. really enjoyed his wine, had no idea he lured a man into the catacombs on the promise of a fine vintage and bricked him up in the wall

@emilyvalenza This is amazing! If you have a chance, I’d love one, but no worries since you’ve had so many requests! Your work is fantastic! My faves colors are all the greens (reminds me of Ireland ☘️)!!

Well well well if it isn't the consequences (getting bricked up in the wine cellar) of my own actions (following a guy into the wine cellar)

Back in my day we didn't have "Google." If you wanted to know where the ducks go during the winter you had to ask a cab driver and just hope to God he had the answer.

My 9th graders are taking a quiz. @Edulastic allows me to watch how they're doing. I was able to message "black car" on @GoogleMeet2 who is a distance learner, and visit "grey camera" at their desk to give them a little nudge. I looked at Q4 to see what might be confusing them.

This article in the NY Times offers LOTS of handy examples.

(I don't usually think much of the NYT psychology coverage, but this article is an exception...)

Many applications for students!
