Update!

One year ago we went live. We have revamped our vision and are excited to share new content and ideas soon. Here’s the story that initially inspired Give Ear.

We’d love if you follow along! 🙂 https://t.co/r9VBG0ORQR

Here are a few stories that have less to do with the very real medical or economic aspects of this crisis, and more with how we take care of each other as a human family during all crises:

I have had plenty of great experiences over the years at Special Olympics events. I wrote about 7 different amazing things I’ve witnessed from the Special Olympics here. I hope you read it and share it. https://t.co/Efy9zsxika

A powerful message from a dedicated #educator:
“Every day, students enter your classroom whose parents trusted you would meet them with the best care possible, the care they deserve. Remind yourself why you got into this work and allow yourself to be refreshed.” - @cj_williams13

[Chris Williams @cj_williams13]

This is my charge to every educator. It is an amazing profession but can take its toll on you. Some days are crushing.

Bring yourself back to a place of wonder. Remember your journey. These words were for me today. I hope they help someone else too!

My new column for @ColumbusAlive has me going in on school conditions. The way we treat our students is trifling.

[Chris Williams @cj_williams13]

Wow. A sobering look at the city of Columbus in just a few words. While we find our name near the top of “cities you must visit around the world,” lists, our schools are literally falling apart. This makes me excited to get back to work tomorrow. https://t.co/1Yr24EwNqG

“What teachers really teach is themselves — their contagious passion for their subjects & students.. children learn from people they love, & that love in this context means willing the good of another, & offering active care for the whole person.” https://t.co/AhwAILhOjT

Down the Rabbit Hole: Where Social Media Can Take Us

Most of us remember Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, or Alice Through the Looking Glass, but how many of us can say we’ve felt like Alice? Most of us, if I had to guess, thanks to modern social media...

I’d like you to see me, and I’d love to see you. So when you need me you can come to my door and I’ll always open it. Or, you can message me on Facebook. I’ll open that too.
