@jonathanspike Oooh, this is SUCH a cool concept!! I tell students all the time that phones are addictive. This would be a fun way to explore that idea without screentime. (Plus fun to include in a unit on the human brain :) )

So.. we figured a montage video was of some need. Amazing how this simple staircase brought so many together! Thank you @ideaillinois for yet another great IDEAcon! We loved to again showcase & meet in-person. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! #Rival5 @ #IDEAcon

@MsNyreeClark @ideaillinois Hahaha, I like this variation too! 😂 #StairChallenge #MsClarkEdition

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Headed out early due to weather, but did manage to snag a photo at the stairs before I went! (Though I didn't quite get the pose 😂) Thank you #IDEAcon for all of the fun and inspiration!!

I LOVE this statement!!!! #IDEAcon #MorethanPeach

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

@RinkelJeremy @MrsCford_tweets @jencarlson1 Yes! 😂 We were in deep game mode! Bahaha

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Huge shoutout to @MrsCford_tweets! We found the treasure and escaped in 80 minutes! 10/10 reccommend!! #IDEAcon #escaperoom #ExitTheGame

@SJEducate @MsMagiera @ideaillinois I'm a first time pregnant mama and seeing her take the stage with her baby and absolutely rock it got me so excited!! 🤩 Making space for motherhood and proving it doesn't have to be some kind of hindrance to your profession. You can do both!! 🙌🏻💕

@jencarlson1 and @teachamongtrees and I made some new name tags at #IDEAcon

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Picked up this new read by @KatCho at #IDEAcon!! Who doesn't love a YA book with action, mythological creatures, and some romance? It was my jam in HS and still is today 😂

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

@SturmDon @padlet @ideaillinois That's a big OOF from #TeamAutomobile

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

@jonathanspike @mariagalanis @GameStormEDU @ideaillinois This looks awesome!! Is it too late to snag a card?

“I can’t come in the way you want me to be, I’m coming in the way I am.” @PrincipalKafele talking about how we have to meet our students where they are and as they are, not where we want them to be. #IDEAcon

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Kicking off my first ever #ideacon with some inspiration & food for thought from Principal Kafele! Then met 3 lovely counseling dogs, and learned about some games I cannot WAIT to take back to the classroom with @MrsCford_tweets 🙌🏻

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Woot woot! 🥳 We made it!

[Jennifer Carlson @jencarlson1]

We are on our way! #IDEAcon Teach me more!! @ideaillinois

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Love the class going from groaning when I introduce a new review game to them loudly pleading for another round each time we finish 😂 #QuizletLive for the win 🙌🏻 @quizlet

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

Getting the sub plans together, and getting more and more excited for #IDEAcon!! So ready to meet other educators and get inspired 🙌 #myIDEAcon @ideaillinois

[Nora M @teachamongtrees]

We started our mini @makeymakey unit in robotics today! There were some very creative ways to connect to ground... including using a ring and a makeshift earring 😂 #7thgrade
