@arealmofwonder My favorite lines:
How lovely it is to be at home
Like an insect in the grass
Letting life pass!

In this NWP Radio episode we are joined by @hickstro and @jrunstrom of the @chippewariverwp as they discuss their new book, Literacies Before Technologies: Making Digital Tools Matter for Middle Grades Learners. #nwpwritenow Watch/Listen: https://t.co/RJmdUvqoQ0

[Troy Hicks @hickstro]

In a rare moment in my work as a teacher-writer, as I am honored to share two books that both arrived on my doorstep last week. With @jrunstrom "Literacies Before Technologies" @ncte and with @drjennparker @K_Grunow "Making the Move with Ed Tech" @SolutionTree Thank you all.

@OfficialJLD Michigan resident just donated. Thanks for matching.

@MrAustinA2 My thought, as an English teacher, is why would I give an assessment that requires monitoring? Give students a way that they can demonstrate mastery of the content that allows them to use all the resources available to them. Isn’t that how we work in real life?

We need a better analysis of and vocabulary for orchestrated mass delusion than we currently have.

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@andreapitzer Most incredible student name was many years ago: Gordon Gordon Gordon. No joke—the kids nicknamed him G-cubed!

I finished a book that I chose to read that was not part of any teacher-approved list tonight.

👉Does my learning count since it won't be tested?
👉How do I know if I "got it" since no one was reading the exact same thing at the exact same time?
👉Will I get a zero for this?

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@MrAustinA2 .I love how @MrAustinA2 pushes the paradigm -- forcing us to examine those time-honored "school" reasons for reading. They just look and sound ridiculous, don't they? Oh, and congrats for finding time to read for joy. #readingisfun

As I am about to open my Zoom room and welcome my students back to school, from my home office, I had to pause and snap this surreal setting. Let’s do this @A2schools @SkylineHighA2 So proud to teach here!!

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@A2schools @SkylineHighA2 Skyline administration is making our student and the whole family feel welcome! We are off to a great start. Thank-you A2 schools!

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@MsAnnaGonzalez I feel your pain. Add two ridiculously full email inboxes to this sinking feeling and that’s me. I can’t even sustain registering the KALPA numbers for this many days. We need to pool our $ and hire an assistant. 😂

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@PawlowskiA2 @Teacher_Anton @MsAnnaGonzalez The process work is fascinating. It was very relaxing. #NerdWork

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

My multipurpose barn building is DONE! 5 nets, a whole bunch of tape, and I am proud of my work. #MSSummerChallenges @Teacher_Anton @PawlowskiA2 @MsAnnaGonzalez

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@PawlowskiA2 @A2schools @Teacher_Anton Aww! That’s so nice. My vote is for @Teacher_Anton. She rocks! I am working on my barn. It’s going to be epic. 😂

[Jill Runstrom @jrunstrom]

@biblio_phile The last piece of your thread painfully hit it for me. I have work to do. Thank you for putting words to it.

I taught TKAM this year and it felt wrong to me. This post explains why. Let’s Stop Pretending To Kill a Mockingbird Is Progressive on Race https://t.co/2jyOBP3ZIb
