When water vapor first deposits onto the edge of a growing snowflake, it has the potential to make the crystal grow either upward or outward. Which growth pattern happens largely depends on temperature, one theory suggests. https://t.co/thivxWujVV

"Right now, I'm scared," warns @CDCDirector on press call, emotion in her voice: 10% increase in cases over last week; deaths rising to 1,000 per day. Warns of European trajectory. #COVID19.

Just finished a required #SAT proctor training at school. Let me get this straight; #CollegeBoard made over $1 billion last year, CEO makes over a million a year, and teachers are required to train then administer the test for free. What am I missing?

Temperatures in the single digits combined with low winds (for our standards) have led to excellent snowflake catching conditions! #snowflake #dendrites #stellars #snowshower #shsn #winter2021 #mwobs

To learn about forecasting join us for Science in the Mountains, tonight at 7PM

Old Grading Problems Worsen During the Pandemic: https://t.co/ADlBMISHYD "If kids can pass without doing their homework, how useful is the homework?...We’re failing them not because they haven’t learned, but because they aren’t compliant.”-@tguskey #TimeForChange @EdWeekOpinion

Photographer Nathan Myhrvold has captured the most detailed images of snowflakes on record thanks to a custom-built high-resolution cooled camera he made to specifically deal with the numerous challenges of photographing the delicate ice crystals https://t.co/AdIMsOlGrw

A theme has popped up in my reading from @tguskey and @DouglasReeves this week: We don’t wait for “buy in” for change. “Buy in” comes when people realize the benefits of the change. So, go get it done!

[Mike D'Ostilio @MikeDOstilio]

COVID-19 has shown the importance of best grading practices. Districts are all finally realizing that retakes, flexible deadlines, assessing for learning & not compliance, & the abolishing if the 100 pt scale is crucial to student success always @laurajlink @tguskey @rickwormeli2

I’m reading Get Set, Go! by Thomas Guskey, @tguskey. Excellent. Every school administrator and teacher should read this and his previous On Your Mark.
