Copies of Teaching for a #LivingDemocracy are about to be (temporarily) sold out on Amazon. Another good reason to get it from @TCPress or your local independent bookstore! Hoping that reading about students doing profound things will help some educators during this *&!!* year

Hello @diigo? Are you there? Site has been down all day.

[Joshua Block @jhblock]

@diigo Are you still supporting your product? Clicking on tags in my account hasn't worked for nearly a week. I have used Diigo in my classroom for years but may need to make a change if there is no tech support.

@TimothyMBoyle @HFTRR Sounds amazing.

SLA 11th Graders became Modern Day de Tocquevilles! Learn about the true state of Democracy in America, watch videos of student-written plays, and more. Their insights and creativity are something to behold!

Neighbor hit by a car at 48th and Kingsessing where there is no crosswalk painted and no traffic calming. Been a dangerous spot for years. Totally preventable. ⁦@CouncilmemberJG⁩ ⁦@PhillyOTIS⁩ #westphilly
