For those who are wondering, here was my solution to homework that let students and families decide what learning at home would look like. Always read (that's your drink at the restaurant) and then pick something else. That's all. #satchat

Is anyone else disappointed that @MonsterEnergy didn't sell the Ultra Red, White, and Blue pack this year?

Professional pet peeve: referring to things outside of the academic setting as "the real world," as if the experiences that children and young adults have within classrooms are fake. #edchat

The Cebrin Goodman Teen Institute is a youth leadership conference I've been part of for over 25 years! Can you help us clear our list? #EdChat #Prevention #Leadership.

Declaring that we should *not* be teaching about sex and sexuality in schools while simultaneously declaring the Ten Commandments *should* be posted and taught in schools is an odd contradiction.

And to be clear, I'm not saying people in other fields shouldn't be discussing education. I'm saying that a discussion on education ought to include at least one educator who *is* an expert on the topic!.

I'm disappointed that @RonSteslow chose to have a @PoliticologyPod episode about public education without talking to an educator. With a host of education researchers, why not talk to one of them? (Props to @lucymcaldwell for acknowledging she's *not* an education expert!).

Listening to a podcast and heard someone with advanced degrees in education say, "I have kind of an intuitive sense of what number sense is, that it means kind of the sense that students have about numbers."

Easter Sunday will be April 5 next year. Will we have #GeneralConference that weekend or will we adjust the Conference schedule so that we can continue with the practice of having a worship service on Easter without any other meetings?.

I very much appreciate the gentle correction to the mythical version of the Sweetwater Rescue that has been told in #GeneralConference in the past.

Third strike? Sending a calendar invite for a demo and then telling me I can reschedule if that time doesn't work. Nope. Not only will I not reschedule, I'm not going to respond to your emails or take your phone calls. No means "no," not "maybe" and definitely not "yes." 3/3.

If I then say, "I'm sorry, there is literally a fight going on outside my door, I have to let you go," and they try to continue the conversation, that's two strikes. 2/3.

I'll take a cold call from a vendor. It may be annoying, but I recognise it is part of their job. However, if I tell them we already looked at the product and decided to go a different direction, I'm going to be particularly irked if they keep trying to set up a demo anyway. 1/3.

What is your most boring take that is somehow still controversial? Here's mine: "handwriting" and "cursive" are not the same thing. #edchat

Day two's learning included enhancing learning opportunities for ALL students, intentional planning that ties vision, strategy, and community needs, and increasing student engagement through games, authentic tasks, and a healthy dose of whimsy. #IDEAcon2025
