I’m not sure I have the organizational capacity to be good at Twitter. It’s not that I’m too “in the moment.” It’s that I don’t realize there is a moment.

The flu took us out of participating in the annual Burns Supper Scottish festivities with our Robertson clan in the Hocking Hills, but we still Zoomed our portion of the entertainment from our flu-ridden house. ☺️ https://t.co/yxmV9EuSMs @MikeRobertsonEd

Surprise greeting from my 11 year old as I walked out the door early this morning. ❤️ Apparently, she was unsure if I’d be up and awake before noon. 😂

@Doug_Lemov I like to call this “lecture madlibs.” I think some teachers have been so put off direct instruction they try to turn lecture into “discussion” by asking questions that just serve to get the thing the teacher was going to said by someone else.

Thanks for a wonderful birthday @MsRobSTEM

Thank you to @HMSBears students and staff and especially to @MeganRLippert for organizing a truly special principals day tribute. I’ve got a lot of reading to do. (And I wish my hair and beard were that cool).

Since school went online in March I have been taking student requests on a song to sing as a part of our video announcements. I did it every day last year and once a week this year. Here is a compilation of all of them so far. https://t.co/UMUS7L3hr2

4 quarters doesn’t always equal a dollar. We always lose things we don’t anticipate when we isolate a sub skill from a larger skill and the sub skill we isolate may not transfer as a result. Focusing on quick feedback loops doing the actual thing can help offset this.

Happy Voting Day

Thank you @MsRobSTEM for yet another amazing spooky dinner!

My wife is better at twitter than me. Thank you @MeganRLippert and @HMSBears

[Jodi Robertson @MsRobEdu]

Thank you @HMSBears and @MeganRLippert for the 40th birthday drive by for @MikeRobertsonEd! That was so thoughtful and lovely!

Dear #apple. I am never trying to type “woth” in a text or email.

I think of this a lot as a metaphor for how taking the wrong approach to understanding something can lead you to something that looks a whole lot like the right answer but isn’t at all. https://t.co/yr0f97Oew5

It’s a good example of the opportunity cost of change and the locking in aspects of the network effect in economics!

The QWERTY layout is not the lost efficient keyboard. That honor belongs to the Dvorak keyboard which has a better prioritized home row and increasing hand alteration.

Here's an example where wrong answers are more useful for learning than right ones.

Incidentally early pianoforte had smaller ranges. When Beethoven got a piano with expanded range in 1803 you can hear him playing with the new notes. https://t.co/ZwpCwif55d

The piano is a shortened from its original name, the pianoforte from the Italian for soft and loud. It distinguished from the harpsichord, which makes sound at one volume through plucking the string, in its ability to play loud and soft through the use of hammers.
