@Jaclyntravels Love this so much!

In @EASTinitiative, we use advanced #technology to solve problems in our #community that my Ss care about. We would love it if you could help us prepare to be #changemakers this year! #clearthelist #servicelearning #clearthelist2023

Apparently everyone thought since the girls are covering a ballgame at Bentonville tonight, the boys should go have some fun…sheesh! I’ve never seen so many people. @defyrogers @6thdimension_nwa @ Rogers, Arkansas https://t.co/piMVTza8cW

@Jaclyntravels Me too! This made me happy in the group chat today @FayGore

[Derek Ratchford @derek_ratchford]

@abrownlee79 can we connect about @CoSpaces_Edu? I would love to learn more…strongly considering a pro+merge option.

[Derek Ratchford @derek_ratchford]

@jamesmccrary can you tell me more about the incredible things happening over at @CoSpaces_Edu. Really loving the platform and strongly considering the pro + merge option for my students here in Arkansas.

Truest meaning of explorer mindset… “are we really just going to throw it in there and see what happens?” “Why wouldn’t we? Let’s see what’s under there!” I love watching them work! @NatGeoEducation @NatGeo #GeographyAwarenessWeek

[Derek Ratchford @derek_ratchford]

Love seeing my students apply core content learning in a meaningful way. They might not ever get the county to redo the bridge to help with debris but that won’t ever take away the learning of 360 photography with a @GoPro Max & CAD design with @ARCHICAD. #GeographyAwarenessWeek

#Geography opens the door for our #youth to better understand our interconnected world.

👇Awesome resources from @NatGeoEducation to celebrate #GeographyAwarenessWeek! 👏 https://t.co/uepiGR0NCo

[Derek Ratchford @derek_ratchford]

From tortoises to penguins to blue-footed boobies, it’s been an incredible expedition with @lindbladexp & @natgeoeducation. The things I experienced, the people I met, the world I explored as a #GTF will definitely guide me on my journey as an educator. #ExplorerMindset @FayGore
