@TylerNToney hey man, a kid in my class is writing a biography about you. He thinks you are awesome. He needs to know your mum’s name, your favourite food and if you would ever come to New Zealand. He says you can stay at his house. #teacherlife

@elonmusk hi from Oropi School! Can you come to our class in New Zealand so we can interview you? From Zoe (10) and Anna (10)

[MrMac @MrMacsBooks]

If a kid can’t read a whole book, how can you expect them to stay in one app? We need to teach our kids to focus on one thing at a time and BOOKS do that.

Question from my class: if a T-Rex is related to chickens and they lay eggs, did they sit on the eggs and wait for them to hatch?

Honestly it’s an amazing question and I’ll never look at a T-Rex the same again. @PaleoSoc can you help?

My two year old just called a sword a knight knife… I’ll never call it a sword again.

Today I was asking a senior class to support a junior class with their #behaviour. It was purposeful. It was going good.

Then a FLY literally flew into my eye and got stuck there. I’d like to thank the fly for being the only thing the kids remember about my chat. #ed #teacher

#TeachingThroughInquiry is to #TeachingThroughPlay what choreographed dancing is to dancing free at a festival. Both are good, but who doesn’t love dancing at a festival?

I’m home with my sick son today and we’ve watched a lot of Foreman Sam. Don’t hate me, but Fireman Sam is definitely Norman Price’s father…
1. Red hair
2. Single mother
3. Norman is desperate for FMS’s attention…

What advice would you give your 11 year old self? #advice I’m looking at you @richroll (PS. You are the man)

[MrMac @MrMacsBooks]

Writing is hard. You spend your time writing and writing and then you read it back and think, what the hell is this, crap. Then you sit and doubt yourself for a while and then you write a tweet because you love @elonmusk and you think he might see it and retweet it.
