Want to level up student engagement? Take ideas from YouTube! 📺

"Top 10" videos are a classroom goldmine. Why? Because ranking = higher-order thinking. 🧠

Students can now record their own "Top 10" countdowns directly inside Google Slides! 🎤

Steps:
1️⃣ Build the slides.
2️⃣ Hit the "Record" icon.
3️⃣ Pause to gather thoughts (pro tip!).
4️⃣ Save to Drive & share.

Welcome to Prestonwood, Coach Wetzel! 🏈🦁🏈

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Gallup did a study where they asked people to identify the worst event in their life and the best event. They found an 80% correlation between the two events. So often the worst event leads to the best. Adversity is our partner in growth. It’s not easy going through it but it makes us stronger, wiser and better.
