Rank order tasks always bring about some of the most interesting thought processes. I love hearing and watching students' conceptual understanding evolve as they go through the process. Socially constructing our way into thinking about HS for G8 advisory!

Always fun getting to know kids at the beginning of the year. Their competitive spirit has been evident from the beginning, but I love their honesty! It's gonna be a fun year. #RVISionaries #ISSedu

Beginning of the year is always an exciting time with so many ideas flying around. I've been wrapping my head around the hybrid model for this year and how to continue the work of scientific communication and discussion! Thanks @blackburnbeat88 for the share and inspiration!

"A search engine is the most valuable tool to confirm any bias you have." We have to teach students to evaluate their sources and prioritize! #startalk #sciencePD

@blackburnbeat88 Suspense in science education through story telling! It's like using discrepant events in a new capacity. Love it. My brain is flowing with ideas...

[Jacob M LaPlante @JacobMLaPlante1]

@blackburnbeat88 Massively agreed my friend!
