For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Now that the campaign is over—what is the people’s will? What is our mandate?

I believe it is this: Americans have called on us to marshal the forces of decency and the forces of fairness. To marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time.

Centering equity as we move forward is not a condition of 2020, it's a condition of this system itself in order to perfect our union." -- @DAdams_SEL at #GreatExchangeEdu Here here!

Museum of Me is a #gamebasedlearning curriculum for HS English classes that takes teens on an exploration of self using the video game, #WhatRemainsofEdithFinch.

Use the free unit to bring #SEL, deep learning and meaningful play into your #classroom: https://t.co/KlhZv5kpJb #edu

[Susan Rivers @susanerivers]

@iThriveGames Excited to connect with teachers at iThrive's Lounge next week. Join us to explore self-awareness in the classroom.

[iThrive Games @iThriveGames]

Emotional awareness. How do you practice it at home and w/ your students?

We created The Lounge, a virtual lounge where #teachers can share practices that support them as humans and #edu navigating uncharted waters. Join us there on 9/30! https://t.co/jXhaVTjwgi #SEL #edchat

To all: Pls submit an abstract by Oct 19! #SEL #womeninSTEM #videogames

[iThrive Games @iThriveGames]

It’s easy to make up stories when we have limited info. Are they harmful or helpful?

Sam’s Journey invites HS students to explore this question while playing @normallostphone, the #videogame at the center of the unit.

[iThrive Games @iThriveGames]

#Games, with their ability to evoke emotion, offer a student-centered method for transformation when used in a #virtualclassroom.
