@JoeBiden If he’s a cheerleader, he’s a slutty one who didn’t learn the routines, cheated his way through school, and only tried out to show off and prove he’s “popular.”
@Jeremybballer If only we had consistent PD that actually made me feel like I WAS learning something. Sadly it has been sparse at best and the wasted time has made me dread most PD sessions. When the PD is thought-provoking and applicable I’m all over it.
50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and I launched into space on a mission of enormous importance. God bless the 400,000 Americans who helped us get to the moon and back. Together, we Americans can do anything! Never forget July 16, 1969! #Apollo50

@kjsain@BVSDEdTech@BVSDInnovation@BVSDcolorado@todd_burleson I love letting students figure out their own best way to show that they read and understood a novel. Could be a video, a website, a speech, a song, a poem, a game, an annotated map...
@FlagstaffLmc@BVSDEdTech I agree with time being an obstacle. Part of that is that students need to feel safe and comfortable before they can unleash their creativity— and that takes purposeful planning and time.
@BVSDEdTech@BVSDInnovation@BVSDcolorado@todd_burleson I think great things come from collaboration. That said, building relationships that foster thoughtful collaboration takes TIME. One or two meetings with people I’ve never met might be sharing, but it’s not collaboration.
