So my students had to take a test today.

I won’t go into too much detail, but I’ll say that if you need to do an impromptu meditation activity to calm your class down before they can begin a test, you might question who is actually benefitting from the experience.

I like the interaction where a kid says "what is 23 + 19" and you say "what is 23 + 20" and they say "what does that have to do with anything" and then they say "42."

Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and others were inducted into the Hall of Fame this past weekend.

The part you didn't know?

A former car salesman that has never played in, coached, or broadcasted a single NBA game was also inducted.

This is his incredible story 👇👇👇

Accessibility isn’t more work, you were just cutting corners before. The work was incomplete.

We mourn the passing of Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who piloted humanity’s first voyage to the surface of another world. An advocate for exploration, @AstroMCollins inspired generations and his legacy propels us further into the cosmos: https://t.co/47by569R56

Today, one of our guys had a throw that was recorded incorrectly, put him in 1st Place for the meet. Went and reported the error to the judges on his own, gave his 1st place medal to the right guy. Very proud of him, and the culture we have on this team.

What does fluency look like for elementary students? In this week’s featured blog post, IM CEO Bill McCallum explores critical aspects of fluency, and how IM K–5 Math supports student development. https://t.co/RcV5o6Z7cZ #LearnWithIM

They gave the teachers identical writing — but in one the students brother was named “Dashawn” in the story he wrote about, and in the other the student’s brother was named “Connor”. Guess who got the better grade?

Just heard a great term in my evaluation doctorate class - SOLUTIONITIS. Meaning, when educators are too obsessed with proposing solutions as opposed to understanding the problem fully first. #edchat #edtechchat

This paragraph though.

Hi, it's me, your neighborhood reasonable adult. I heard Dr. Seuss books were "banned" in a Virginia school district, which surprised me! So, I did what any reasonable adult would do with internet access: I looked it up to get official details. (thread)

[Daniel Carlson @pythagitup]

Great thread.

If you click on the "obstacles" and press backspace in a @Desmos Marbleslides, they'll get deleted. Even if the equations are in a hidden folder. Possible workaround for this?? #mtbos #iteachmath
