@FredBramante Hello, I was reading your review of the NHSAA Ed306. I appreciate your work on this, but I was wondering what your statement “… New Hampshire does not properly fund education.” is based on? It’s probably something I missed, thank you!

Make every decision based on your best teachers and you will seldom make a bad decision. #ElemAPNetwork

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

If teachers go into each other’s classrooms in non judgemental, non evaluative ways all of the teachers will become like the best teachers. No one steals a worse idea. #ElemAPNetwork

[Jon Rourke @MrRourkeSHS]

YES!

Thinking of the Spaulding graduates today. Congratulations! I wish I could be with you all.

To our amazing teachers...

[Jon Rourke @MrRourkeSHS]

Big thanks to @TurtleBeach for making gaming headsets that have clear mics that allow me to teach remote more effectively.

[Jon Rourke @MrRourkeSHS]

@Alex_Bisson Haha, sure!

[Jon Rourke @MrRourkeSHS]

Thank you @stickermule for my free face stickers. My students will be so pumped about these!

Read Romeo and Juliet as a class via Google Meet today. It was really awesome and the closest thing to normal my class and I have experienced all week. This is going to be great!

[Jon Rourke @MrRourkeSHS]

@GoogleForEdu thank you for all of your support throughout this difficult time for teachers and students. Are there any known issues right now causing students to not be able to access documents through classroom? Several of my coworkers are having a hard time with this.
