@Talkatone Talkatone hasn't worked for me and it's been 6 days. Are there any updates? Is the business folding? Do I need to seek an alternative for a number I've had for years?

Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time.

One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is:

‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’.

Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is.

The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%?

Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball.

The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇

@ronniecharrier Oh? Maybe I’ll see you then!

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Simply put:
When I plan to teach, I'm focused on what I will be saying, instructing, assigning, & assessing.

But when I design for learning, I'm focused on what learners will be discussing, engaging with, creating evidence for, self-assessing.

Learning isn't about me.

Norm #3 (phone free schools) is happening at lightning speed.

Norm #1 (no smartphones until age 14) is happening too, as parents and school districts take collective action. Great example in the UK:

Excellent read.

If smartphones and social media are so safe for our kids, then why do tech company leaders work so hard to protect their own children from a phone-based childhood?

@wellnerj @ronniecharrier @YondrOver Phone free in the middle school here!

Such a clear discussion of why we need to regulate. If we care about young people and their future, we need to act now. #socialmedia #phonefree

Australia will lead the world in setting a minimum age for social media, finally requiring the companies to take responsibility for age verification.

Here South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas explains why and how they are taking action:
