My daughter is a junior in HS, gets great grades in her advanced classes, and is interested in jobs involving space. She has no idea what universities to apply to, what programs to look for, or what questions to ask. I don’t know how to help her . #helpless @elonmusk @NASA

@TracyCarroll10 @RemindHQ @LizBiddle88 @mac42366 @CyndiNickel I remember meeting the team at a edTech conference when they were just starting out.. LOVE that they’re still going strong!

You guys I am OBSESSED!! Here is a sneak peek of a little project I’m working on!! #SocialDistancing #distancelearning #DontRushChallenge #YesWeCan @montclair_elem @Parks_AS @Edukatemm

We’re asking students, parents, and teachers to try new things.. at least think about changing this too!

[Thomas Guskey @tguskey]

If there was ever a time to abandon percentage grades, it is now. Universities have gone to satisfactory/incomplete grades, recognizing the impossible task of faculty distinguishing 5 categories of performance. Can we expect HS teachers to accurately distinguish 100 categories?

Calling all @Taylor_Schools & @TaylorGriffins @taylorgriffins followers.. today is the last day to sign up for a chromebook! #MiTeamTaylor https://t.co/ai54zncZIG

This nails it!! When you put students (AND TEACHERS) from a traditional class to a non traditional class you go through THE 8 STAGES OF GRIEF!!! Where are you and your students on this continuum? #remotelearning

Jamie Dimon, in closing: "While I have a deep and abiding faith in the USA and its extraordinary resiliency and capabilities, we do not have a divine right to success. Our challenges are significant, and we should not assume they will take care of themselves."

Just when we get the least techie teachers online and trying new things..

@jmontiel6741 I’ll be honest, didn’t check in on Twitter much this summer and missed this.. added you(:

[Derek Kaunelis @busy_daddy]

I'm looking to create a list of 4th Grade teachers as a PLN #4thgrade #iteach4th #4thchat

[Derek Kaunelis @busy_daddy]

Looking for any upperclassman or parents of @CHS_Chargers that drive. My freshman daughter needs a ride home daily. 5 minute drive = gas money

Taking my son to the Big House to see @D_DeGea #onceinalifetime

[Derek Kaunelis @busy_daddy]

Any Ts able to recommend a headphone/mic that has lasted with heavy Ss use? #edtech #teched

[Derek Kaunelis @busy_daddy]

@ManUtd I’m confused as to why you don’t sell @D_DeGea youth sized keeper jerseys in your store. My 10yo plays keeper but can’t order his idol’s jersey. #wtf

[Derek Kaunelis @busy_daddy]

@ManUtd My 10yo son plays keeper and wants a @D_DeGea @ManUtd keeper jersey for Christmas but I can’t find one): Any ideas?
