High School Math teacher and Fuse RI fellow. Obsessed with building playlists that allow my students to learn at their own pace and in their own way.

I can’t believe we are getting the band back together tomorrow! #FuseRI Reunion at the @GirlScoutsofSNE offices in Warwick! More than 60% of our Fuse Fellows will be there. We can’t wait to share @HighlanderInst updates & hear about our fellows incredible work all over RI.

Recently received 2 unsolicited, handwritten sticky notes. One was attached to a box of homemade cookies, the other to the windshield of my car. I feel like this pair sums up this school year rather well, but I don’t know why.

@numberellaworld Not exactly. Our union lawyer used a Google Form that was restricted to our domain and she verified the eligibility of voters. So it wasn’t perfectly anonymous, but got the job done.

Anyone know a good tool to run a secure, electronic election? Need: 1 vote per person, only union members able to vote, open for a specific time window, must be anonymous, doesn't have to be free. TIA!

Follow up. Took 3 days of refreshing and a stupid early wake up this morning but I got my ticket, front row center. J & J single dose vaccine tomorrow afternoon!!!

[Jason Appel @Jason_appel]

Grateful @CVS is now allowing K12 Ts to get vaccine, but there must be a better system than one resembling trying to get tickets to a T Swift concert. Already juggling 1/2 class in person and 1/2 on Zoom. Now I need another tab open to CVS that I refresh every 15 minutes!? Ugh.

@ShawnCRubin @maevefmurray @deb_ramm @LisaPas220 @davejose @LennonCorey @jessiebutash @ReneRosivach @LearnLeonhardt @MrsCastro2 @DerekMSamuelson I’m super excited, but isn’t it at 5?

[Jason Appel @Jason_appel]

So the NYC DOE is calling their hybrid in-person/DL model “Blended Learning?” Do they not know that name is already taken? #icant

@celia_bedelia_ @lkbivona @bps_ri @TeachPlusRI @RIDeptEd Excited to get to know him this year and have some fun with Algebra 2!

@lkbivona @bps_ri @TeachPlusRI @RIDeptEd Awe shucks! Thanks for the shoutout @lkbivona. Hope all is well with you!

[Jason Appel @Jason_appel]

Tomorrow is my first day teaching with students physically in front of me in 6 months. Excited/anxious to begin a professional challenge like no other I've experienced. Super excited to see my Ss in person!

@ri_iste Virtual Summer Institute opens its registration TODAY! Sessions run July 22-24. Visit https://t.co/grPLZbzY1d for more information!

@edtechSAE @ChristinaNosek I used @mixamprint. Looks like they do books too. Good luck! https://t.co/0tmC5IBDSG

@EricButash @zoom_us Not wanting Ss to create their own meetings makes sense (although I suppose we can’t stop them from making accounts?) I just want to be able to pre-assign breakout rooms which I thought could only be done if Ss had accounts?

[Jason Appel @Jason_appel]

Some great tips to stay safe here (especially from the 1 and only ⁦@EricButash⁩!) but man, don’t we have enough on our plates already?
