@F1FantasyHub Aston Martin an obvious budget pick, but it looks like constructor points have been significantly buffed. What are your thoughts on two premium constructors? (Like both RB/Ferrari)

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

@F1FantasyTips I think MAG is a liability at this point of the season. Negative points are becoming the norm, and LAT/ALB will at least get you something, even if they finish last

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

@F1FantasyHub What’s the last race you can use Mega Driver this half? Considering RBs straight line speed, could be ideal race to use MD token on Max.

@F1FantasyTips Not sure about Alonso being 3 stars...What's your thinking on him?

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

@F1FantasyTips Curious to know your thoughts on swapping Ferrari for Alfa Romeo as they have been the best valued pick thus far this season at only 8.4m.

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

@F1FantasyTips Can prices change after qualifying and before a race? Won't everyone be "locked in"...and won't be able to make change? Thanks for your help!

@NOberkramer @PearDeck Peardeck student paced has been perfect for hybrid teaching this year. IPads with pencils help as well as Ss can show all their work for me when they are both at home or In person.

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

Looking forward to learning alongside our Ss this year as we seek to use a critical lens as we explore our past/present. What assumptions do we make? Whose story is not being told? How did we get to where we are today? I love using photos to introduce these questions #DMSLeads

Athletes using their platform to fight for equality isn't new, but public response has certainly changed. Making history relevant for our students isn't easy, but this year is ripe with opportunity. Australian in Olympics protest gets apology https://t.co/LKUPeWLnpU #DMSLeads

Best part of WEB Leader Training today was when the teachers took a break from their planning to walk through the spread out students and talk/laugh/connect/bump elbows with the reason why we do what we do! We ALL needed this sweet moment together right now. #DMSLeads #DMSWEB

https://t.co/gIQqEuhY6P History teachers looking to start the essential conversations, why not give Ss this map with no title and let them dig through it. Let them know that you 1) are comfortable asking the uncomfortable and 2) will seek to connect your content to their reality.

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

Even though we are still a few weeks out, I'm excited to be spending part of my day teaching U.S. History again! So many important conversations happening in 2020, and I'm excited to help our Ss navigate those conversations through a historical lens. #DMSLeads

@BethWhitaker2 @Flipgrid Yes! I’m not sure why it took virtual learning to get me to try it, but it’s usefulness is obvious for any class. At the moment, getting students to explain there understanding of a problem, rather than just showing their work, is gold!

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

My biggest struggle with virtual learning is authentically assessing where my students are in their learning. I want to see and hear from Ss, not just collect work.....@flipgrid might be perfect! Ss made videos finding the volume of household objects. Super impressed! #DMSLeads

Today's #FamilyFirst idea: Coaches, band/choir directors, drama teachers, all these mentors are hurting right now with cancellations. Check in on that person who has poured so many hours into growing you. Let them know how you are doing, how practice is. They miss you! #DMSLeads

[Dr. April Adams @AAdamsEML]

Yesterday on GMA psychologist advised parents about boredom and our children. Encouraged parents to not panic or worry when our children say they are bored. Let it happen. Said...That’s when creativity will show a resuragence. #CreativityOnAComeBack

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

Today's #FamilyFirst idea: I'm a big fan of board games! Great way to unplug and enjoy a challenge with friends/family. These weeks at home are the perfect time to get out an old board game, or better yet ask me for a suggestion for a new one to buy!#DMSLeads #InThisTogetherLPS

[Michael Brandt @MBrandt_LP40u]

Today's #FamilyFirst idea: Going on walks with my family each day has been a great way to get out of the house and enjoy the Spring weather! Invite everyone you live with on a walk one day this weekend! Bring a frisbee/football for some added fun! #DMSLeads #InThisTogetherLPS

So after making several videos for my students this week, it's become very apparent that I have no idea how to end a recording of myself. Okay Byeeeee?! That's all folks?! Catch you on the flippity flip?.....I seriously freeze up every time.
