For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We did it, @JoeBiden.

"It's easier to be a parent this morning, it's easier to be a dad. It's easier to tell your kids character matters, it matters. Telling the truth matters. Being a good person matters."

First woman of color as vice-president - ever! Herstory is made.

Academia is just saying “next week things should free up a little and not be so busy” over and over again.

@ChristinaNosek @zoom_us I’m so glad to hear! Since I’m currently both a student and a teacher I have definitely picked up on some zoom tricks!

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

@ChristinaNosek @zoom_us Yeah! Once you assign a cohost to a breakout room, they can enter that room, then jump around once inside! If the cohost exits back to the main room, they can only re-enter the last room they were in.

@chinaiyari Social media is such a great way to bring in literacies as well as make class more fun!!

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

@KelvinMakSTEP I love the idea of teaching argumentation instead of teaching skepticism!!

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

@twitt3racies I love the idea of outdoor activities!

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

@hannah_korslund Yes! Let’s teach programming sooner!

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

@colinlowyc Love this, Colin!

A3: I feel like my definition of literacies has expanded so much, and yet I feel like there’s still so much I don’t know! Literacies are everywhere, and we use them everyday. We must help our students expand their literacies and also learn to be critical of them. #schmiteracies

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

A2: Boyd’s thoughts on media literacy were so relevant to math, especially data science. Helping students become more data literate and better critical thinkers will translate to better media literacy as well! #schmiteracies

[Laurel @laurelsfishing]

A1: I think it’s important to lean on each other during this weird type of learning! I plan to have students work on problems together and learn to share their ideas and construct arguments #schmiteracies
