Our space soil and bacteria are aboard the ISS right now! Hey #cmtc22 #nhcmtc attendees, come visit my students and I at 8:30 today in the Dartmouth room to hear all about it and get ideas about how partnerships can help your classroom blast off! @nhcmtc

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

My class has been working with UNH Manchester for a year and a half on a space soil project. Saturday, Nov. 26 is the launch! Come see us at @nhcmtc on Tuesday and we'll tell you all about it. Watch the launch here with coverage starting at 2 EST. #CMTC22 https://t.co/voU36Jp5On

@spencerideas Same. In fact I'd take a combination of Fran Drescher, Gilbert Gottfried, and Ben Stein over Joe Buck any day.

@spencerideas You lost me at ... "not a fan of their music" regarding The Black Keys.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

@H1story_7eacher Would it be extreme to instantly resign? Maybe, but that's what I would do without hesitation. Lots of openings elsewhere.

@spencerideas Your son is right and double right that they are way better than the Giants' unis.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

@cgasper @AllStarGame Agreed. ...in the stadium and in front offices, managing clubs, and so on.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

Thanks for spreading the news, @SenatorShaheen! Our class is super excited about our soil heading to the ISS.

[Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen]

Almost ready for lift off! Great work by Newington Public School and UNH Manchester students. Can’t wait to see the experiment’s results following this fall’s launch to the International Space Station.

Our class podcast, NPS Peas in a Podcast, is back! New season, new intro song, fresh student voices. We are sending a sample of our soil to space. To SPACE! Check it out.

@AudreyVenner Yes! Sounds great. Let's set it up via DM.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

@CelesteCasoEDU @MrNerone Yes. Definitely. How does the week of Feb. 21st sound? Feel free to send me a DM to schedule.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

@RobertsShawndra @TG2Chat I'm sure this is on your radar already, but @Seesaw is a nice tool to communicate progress with families while fostering student self-reflection. I'm pretty sure other #tg2chat folks could do it better justice than me, but holler if you want a rundown of how I use it.

@MrsScissons Hi @MrsScissons. We are a 5th and 6th grade class too and would love to do a #mysteryskype with you.

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

@LoriStuever Our 5th and 6th grade class in NH would be interested if you're still up for it. Looking for this week or next before the 23rd.

[NHCMTC @nhcmtc]

Happening now - 🔥 participants are learning why grading makes more sense for something that goes on your grill rather than the learning that takes place in your classroom. 🔥

#NHCMTC is next week. There's still time to register, teacher friends. Come to my session "Scholars Not Steaks," about grading less and focusing on feedback. It's gonna be awesome! You'll even get to see this report card from 1931. @TG2Chat @nhcmtc

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

Getting stoked for the Christa McAuliffe #nhcmtc conference in 2 weeks. Details at https://t.co/4W7XM50SOm. Come see my session on Wed. 12/1 so we can chat about why grades fine for something that goes on your grill but not for the scholars in your classroom. #tg2chat

[Nels Tooker (he/him/dude) @nelstooker]

NH pals, check out this year's #NHCMTC and be sure to come "meat" me at my concurrent session Wednesday at 10am "Scholars not Steaks: How to grade less & focus on feedback."

[NHCMTC @nhcmtc]

The Christa McAuliffe Transforming Teaching Technology Conference for 2021 has a lot of opportunities for you to learn and connect. Go register now for #NHCMTC at https://t.co/CFgskk9GFJ - we can't wait to see you! #nhed
