My general rule for estimating how long a project or an experiment will take to complete in science is to estimate, then double the estimate, then say to myself “really? it can’t possibly take that long!”, and then double the estimate again.

@mxosborn @DeeSTEM_Teach If you add the video inside Google Slides, it will not play an ad. Unfortunately this does not work for 100% of videos.

The goal for this year is 1,000 fully stuffed backpacks and as many pairs of sneakers we can get.

It cost $25 to donate a fully stuffed backpack to a local kid.

@heymrsbond Lots of good recos. My personal preference from the below list is the Uni Alpha Gel. Refills are available in blue-black and more. Alternatively, if you like how stick pens write but not the feel, try the Paperlike pencil grips.

@danacoledares In my NJ experience, auto shop seems to be outlasting wood shop, which funny enough, outlasted metal shop.
I suspect district re-investment in vo-techs is part of the reason, and national social devaluing of trades is most of the rest. Plus liability!

[Mx. Terry Manning @TechManning]

@danacoledares I understand the origin of STEM. I’m a proponent of STEAM. Without The Arts (including language arts), you end up with technologists and engineers that don’t understand or care enough about human solutions. Dr. Raven the Science Maven is a great example of STEAM goals.

Unofficial Computer Science Praxis score is a pass!

Did you know you can derive all of these area formulas just by knowing the area formula of a rectangle? Here's how! (Part 1)

@ravenscimaven If you are in NJ, you can reply “living the dream” which is the socially acceptable way to say you aren’t okay but nothing to be done.

@b_roxanne_ Late to the game, but could you serve as her “peer” for the purpose of the activity, at least to start?

[Mx. Terry Manning @TechManning]

@b_roxanne_ It’s a good start that she is at least getting interviews. Does your area include demo lessons in its process?

Just like in industry, job listings are not as “sure” as they seem. The situation may change with say, enrollment, and they no longer need a new staff member.

@DeeSTEM_Teach I might grab these, but also, DJ is a fantastic artist!

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

Making sense of the problem before going straight to the formula can save time

@BriaFilms Yes, I learned about 3D modeling for failure analysis, anechoic chambers, and met Judy Bloom (in the building where they film Severance, no less)

Currently struggling with this, from a shop safety perspective. One person’s antics risks everyone’s well-being.
Welcoming suggestions, can send details in DM.

@MsPinkBehavior This^
Also, organizational IT often has the power to only permit certain users to even use the feature at all, especially with mailing lists

@heymrsbond Thank you for this reminder! I have an idea for my comp apps class with formatting especially
