Teach 8th grade World Geography, gamify curriculum, travel the world. The Goal: Teach my students the importance of awe, empathy & finding beauty in brokenness.

Way to punch down, Mr. Walsh. I feel I speak for many in the #Sweetbabygang when I request a formal and public apology regarding your spatula-phobic comment.

Sources: The Internet - so I know it’s true.

@MattWalshBlog You clearly did not do your research on the spatula before you casually used it as a frivolous, sarcastic example of “racism” in your last show.

OBVIOUSLY the most seriously serious hugest offense in the history of all huge offenses.

I am disgusted that you would so casually bandy about the invention of a man victimized throughout his life: a Polish (non-white) immigrant to America and member of the limb difference community attacked by a German (read: Nazi white supremecist) who ultimately died in obscurity.

@MysterY186 Hmmmm. Well, the slide revision history would tell you who added what, if you wanted to go back and look at that.

Could you give each student a specific color and then they could pick any “shape” and just make sure they always fill it in with their color?

[Lauren Waymire @WaymireL]

@MysterY186 I got you! (Hopefully you can see the screencast gif!)

Quick Steps:
-Create your template on a regular slide.
-Copy it all.
-Paste it to a Master Slide.
-Insert the new slide as a “canvas” for students to add to!

Have fun breaking ice!

@transformtulsa …Late to the party but the message on 2.14 ?!?

*jaw drops in awe*

Printing this out and posting it everywhere.

2021.
Drop the anchor.
It’s the year of no drift.

[Lauren Waymire @WaymireL]

@rsolervo Until then, I plan on sparkling water and plastic champagne flutes. ;)

[Lauren Waymire @WaymireL]

I’ll be honest. If I ever have the privilege to meet the incredible @marissa_meyer in person, I fully expect her to sound exactly like narrator-extraordinare @rsolervo. ;)

Hashtag binge-listening to Marissa Meyer’s audiobooks (INCLUDING THE JUST-RECEIVED INSTANT KARMA)

[Lauren Waymire @WaymireL]

@rsolervo Hahaha! You’re so fun!

They were STOKED to see your tweet. And I told them that these were the instructions from Ms. Soler herself so OF COURSE we’ll just have to keep meeting until they’re old enough to add the wine to the cheese.

Twitterverse: Looking for the best platform to use when following and participating in live twitter discussions. I currently use TweetDeck but hoping there’s a better option. #XPLAP #EduTwitter #teacherstable #EdTech #EdTechChat

“Mystery has the ability to draw our students in.” ALL. THE. YES.

LOVE this #GameMyClass community! A fun, uplifting, brilliant, optimistic, PHENOMENAL group of educators. When 2020 discouraged so many, this team NEVER stopped giving kids their all.

You’re my tribe and I treasure y’all. High-fives for days!
