SALUDO PO KAMI SA INYO! 🫡

In times of calamity, we express our deepest gratitude to rescuers, volunteers, doctors, nurses, journalists, and fast food and grocery employees, as they continue performing their respective duties despite the dangers they might encounter.

The Most Wuthering Heights Day is the most bizarre yet wholesome thing I've learned about today. Cultural phenomenon are amazing.

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

Still so surreal, but I'm so grateful that I get to be a part of this community of incredible changemakers and have the opportunity to build bridges with them 🌟 #ADE2023

(Also, thank you @jimtuscano for the write-up, and for nudging me in this direction)

Yes! Video games are such powerful tools that, if utilized correctly and effectively, could be total game-changers in the classroom 👾

Looking to learn more about implementing effective differentiation and scaffolding in your classroom? Try looking at video games. 🎮

@a_mcgovern This is both interesting and disheartening. Could the spike (partially) be because kids are more open about having conversations about mental health now whereas it was kind of stigmatized before?

Heads up, GBL enthusiasts!!

@ClassDojo has launched Dojo Islands Beta – think Animal Crossing/Metaverse for your class! Students can safely interact with each other in this virtual space (great for online days) and imagine + build together in the sandbox area.

@EstherLipsy I love what you're doing though! 🌟 I'm looking into exploring TeachableMachine more because of your demo of it!

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

Honestly, the imposter syndrome hit hard these past 3 days – being surrounded by so many amazingly passionate educators leading change in their communities had me pausing a couple of times to think "why am I here?" My little splashes paled in comparison to their big waves.

Didn't get to take one last photo of the Australian sunrise this morning (because I woke up late for the 6am airport shuttle lol) so this meme will have to do for now.

I'm back in your humid embrace, Philippines 🇵🇭

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

@beatlesyeong I'm glad you enjoyed it! Let me know how it goes 🌟 I'll post more recommendations when I can

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

I did a thing ✨ (and by thing, I mean an unconference session about game-based learning for #ADE2023 Institute)

Love sharing resources!
I can hook you up with more, guys 👀

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

@sjeeves And you're even more so! It was so great meeting you, Steve✨ (and I'm so glad I didn't get thrown into that pool 😂)

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

@a_mcgovern Hope you have a safe flight back to Japan, Andy!

[Selene Estaris @MSelene_Estaris]

@mdm_shu @rappin01 Yup! We just got back and I can already feel the stickiness coming back 😂
