My #APLang students on 🔥 🔥 today—using @padlet to organize text evidence that best supports the claims they generated about the rhetorical choices in Obama’s “First Inaugural Speech.” #virtuallearning #winning

Having students imitate the New York Times "My Ten" column would be a good way for teachers to learn about their new students---and for students to learn about one another: https://t.co/YCI6krKUwY And, of course, the teacher should write one, too.

Hallmarks of a lifelong learner:

Showing less interest in defending your beliefs than exploring your beliefs

Being less concerned about rationalizing your decisions than growing from your mistakes

Paying as much attention to where your critics are right as why they're wrong

I was today years old when I learned that #PowerPoint slides can be a background in Zoom *and* you can move thru the slides.

Note - you can download #GoogleSlides as PPT files to do this!

Michelle and I want to do our part to give all you parents a break today, so we’re reading “The Word Collector” for @chipublib. It’s a fun book that vividly illustrates the transformative power of words––and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread)

Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

[Hinsdale Central HS @ThisIsHCHS]

We will not let a RLD school environment prevent us from celebrating Ss. Today @PrncplW delivered Sawyer the English Department Student of the Quarter Award.

Estragon: I can't go on like this.
Vladimir: That's what you think.

L. R. Knost: Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break, and all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
