What the fuck is wrong with our country and the arch of history. I pray for you educations who must talk and listen deeply to students who are processing this: #MLKDay Gun Rally: Thousands Of Gun Owners Converge On Virginia Capitol On MLK Day https://t.co/73BteMaH5c

The only thing that rivals talking to #educations is talking to #artists. ...at Google. I'm on YouTube with @freestylelove at @talksatgoogle - humbled to get into the details of their craft and where they were with Lin long before #Hamilton. #freestyle

[Freestyle Love Supreme @freestylelove]

Google Talks? Check it. Some of our crew stopped by @TalksAtGoogle to talk about #FreestyleLoveSupreme on Broadway and the future of the #FLSAcademy! 🎤 https://t.co/8uJlNv6oBT

@freestylelove @talksatgoogle Woot woot!

In news apps and aggregates, it drive me crazy that #Education and #Environment are not a top line headings. Yes, is a long game and not a 24-hour cycle. But nothing has greater impact. #news @NPR @npr_ed

@karenvaites Thank you Karen. Just finished this thread. Given how much teachers give, I find offering this kind of feedback personally challenging. But knowing how much of that time is wasted in ineffective strategies provides motivation for having the conversation, regardles. #ThanksVaites

[Brad Kemp @brdkmp]

Following. Tech replaces pencils, not teachers.

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Worrisome, given the resources we pour into #edtech in elementary grades.

A related observation: none of the high-quality K–5 ELA curricula have significant tech components. None. #JustSaying

@karenvaites Eek. 💔

Excellent. Search "Hard Words, Why aren't kids being taught to read?" to find the article. #literacy #EarlyChildhood

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Surprising Exactly No One:

‘Hard Words’ takes home a big prize at #EWA19, and @ehanford is inspiring in her acceptance speech. ❤️

While boarding @united in @ORD they tell us we'll sit there for 1 hour before take off. Why did you board is if you already knew? There has to be a better way. Are airports just too big to disrupt?

Do a quick Google search to give you your polling location and opening/closing time in an instant w/no gov't websites. In NY you are allowed by law 2 hours paid hours to vote.

@irvspanish @alicekeeler My next Q is how's did you address/guide next steps? Did you contact the T w/questions? Did you coach S on engaging T in challenging, respectful dialog (w/o saying "it's too hard")? Did kids ban together to figure it out? What happened next? The suspense is killing me 🤔😬😳

[Brad Kemp @brdkmp]

@irvspanish @alicekeeler OR: Maybe frustration tolerance was the point & not the answer? Maybe an almost unsolvable problem can be fun? What's missing from this thread is an inquiry about the intended learning objective/alignment. My critique is the lack of intrigue in the story design. Why these clues?
