#heyswansons my little Meyer lemon tree was thriving all spring and early summer, but my growing buds are turning yellow and falling off. Any advice?

@OneNoteEDU Can a student write using a pen in Japanese and use ink to text to display Japanese characters?

Apparently my idea of a fun birthday weekend was taking a test, but this sweet badge was worth it! @microsoftEDU #MicrosoftCertifiedEducator

Student: "Ms. B! I found an ANCIENT calculator on your desk! It's at least 100 years old!"
Me, age 27, still a really hip cat: "What evidence do you have that it's 100 years old?"
S: "...obviously because it uses the sun for power." 🌞

10 young ladies from my Grade 3 class decided to have lunch with @CressidaCowell. They were too invested in her story to leave! Thanks for inspiring a generation of female authors! @MicrosoftEDU #skype2learn #SkypeClassroom

The anticipation! @CressidaCowell #skype2learn #skypeclassroom

Planning a @Flipgrid staff training with @PickeringK5. Any suggestions for igniting some serious #FlipgridFever in some amazing @TheBSD405 elementary teachers? 🔥 #ShowcaseSchool #flagshipschool

Taking a break from my usual edu content for this very important Uplift. Counting the days until I can get my little Canadian on the ice.

I mic'd up my 4 year old at Timbits Hockey so I could finally understand what the heck he was doing out there. It was.... Interesting

@PPCAcademic @AdGrocott @OneNoteEDU Yes, the Lenovo ThinkPads! They are used throughout our district @TheBSD405. I personally think they have been great for students, particularly because they provide such flexibility to be used as a tablet or laptop.

[Kate Barratt @edukateb]

Why do my students love #OneNote? It makes for engaging and fun math extensions! “Ms. Barratt, can I make MORE rows so I can do this longer?” Yes, my friend. Yes you can! #Onederful🎉💜

Going through Beyond Diversity with Shomari and the Equity Department at @TheBSD405 was easily the most impactful PD I’ve been to. If you aren’t one of the lucky people that can walk next door and talk to this incredible leader (or even if you are), READ.

[Education Week @educationweek]

Leader To Learn From Shomari Jones advocates for low-income students and students of color whose needs are often obscured by the high-achieving, mostly affluent school system. https://t.co/upwMoqJj4a #LeadersToLearnFrom

“Go see Ms. Barratt. She’ll buy all your extra @girlscouts cookies.” -all of third grade, probably. #teacherproblems
