Michael Jordan is donating $10 million to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, in what the charity said is the largest donation from an individual in its 43-year history https://t.co/zJG1LXib4C

The CDC, along with several medical societies, has endorsed later start times. Yet far too many school districts are reluctant to make the change, whether for logistical, financial or cultural reasons. @sciam

@SarahRuggieroGC @IngoHelbig @JulieXXian @shridparth I'm so glad you wrote this. My son has the TRPM3 gene variant. One of the easiest articles to understand as a layperson. Even after genetic testing 4 years ago, we knew he had this, but at the time, there wasn't enough research. What you are doing to spread awareness is amazing.

Here's my workflow, so that you can do it too.

Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with an average of 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, & higher than the adult average of 52.7 Let children read comics, graphic novels, or whatever will get them reading!

I just noticed #Chrome now has a built in #QRCode creator located right next to the #SendThisPage button!
Use it to instantly generate a #QR code for any website and download it as an image🦖
A nice way to share links in #Slides.

Worried about evidence of Ss attendance for school funding??? No problem, it took me about 3min to schedule my weekly @Flipgrid attendance. I can insert attendance in required SIS & have a back-up security blanket of evidence. Plus, all videos are time stamped! #FlipgridForAll

@EllenMcW Way to go Dylan! @1040Griffs Making great use of our library's makerspace and resourses available to make us Buchtel/APS proud. What a great accomplishment!
