It was a privilege to present yesterday at the NJ Science Convention and provide fellow educators with ways to incorporate programming into all academic disciplines. It was a great afternoon! Thanks for having me, NJSC! @NJSCNews#njsc#njsc2022
I always loved teaching about Johnny Appleseed Day. This year, I’m still bringing the excitement of the day to students, but this time to many more of them and through coding!🍎🍏 #scratchcoding#codingforkids#stemeducation
Having a little fun with @tinkercad to learn and bring strong elementary content to students everywhere! I’m first a learner, so I can understand where students might get stuck and how to explain these concepts in a simple, exciting way! #stemeducation#stemforelementary
It makes me sad when a teacher assistant says “I’m just a para” when they introduce themselves to me…we CANNOT do our jobs without support staff. They are the backbones of our schools. No one is “just” anything on your staff. Make sure your support staff feel encouraged & loved.
I've completed week 4 of the @FutureLearn course 'Teaching Programming in Primary Schools'! Always important to keep learning! https://t.co/NIi2ZM6kvW #RPiLearn

Thanks for visiting with us today @gordonkorman ! It was exciting for me, as a teacher, to meet the author of our whole-class book that we used to teach fiction. Our students had a wonderful time! 📚 #wearechesternj
