Great line. Nice contrast w/ Dylan Thomas: "Dark is a way and light is a place, / Heaven that never was / Nor will be ever is always true." https://t.co/YHV2Nh5yUT

Nice article. But I would've preferred a video clip lol. I enjoy reading, but we should ask whether the medium > the message. https://t.co/TXuGLVa6sz

And on a macroscopic level, the author's argument mirrors complaints from many adjunct faculty members that likewise seek such stability. https://t.co/4386IWwhSd

Bunch of great resources here. Also reminds us that Ts must be excellent communicators with so many various audiences/collaborators. https://t.co/q4zuWRz6Sh

@DionneMCustis you know how they say most of our fears are just in our head? I think in a few weeks reality is actually gonna be worse. 😔

[Matthew Hidinger @mrhidinger]

Good point. Easy to feel the need while teaching to fill any moment of silence--to always elicit speech and noise. Good to resist that urge. https://t.co/pMA5VBotQy

Pause here, take a deep breath, and read slowly. We will all be better for the gift of silence.

@DionneMCustis nice--a sequel?! Also enjoy stuff from Keiko Kasza like "My Lucky Day." Can be kinda tricky picking for both age groups lol.

[Matthew Hidinger @mrhidinger]

@DionneMCustis "The Day the Crayons Quit" was a hit with my 4 and 7 year old. Very clever approach.

@Jennifer_Hogan Totally agree; I've taught in classrooms w/couches instead of desks & ambiance improves significantly. Good advice for Ts!
