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

Movies would be much more enjoyable if the filmmakers would use blue filters for nighttime scenes so that we could actually see what's happening on screen.

Recognising that this is a general address in a #GeneralConference, I am still sad that there has been no acknowledgement of infertility as a reason that a couple, such as my wife and I, may not have children. It hurts when people assume our child-less status is selfishness.

Petition to change the words from "we thank thee, O God, for a prophet" to "we thank thee, O God, for our prophets" (and make the necessary adjustments throughout). #generalconference

They could not sound any more different, but the spirit and passion are the same! Elder Holland knows his why! https://t.co/IjnZpiOAF4 #generalconference

Is Elder Jaggi wearing a light purple shirt or is it just the lighting? #GeneralConference

After a certain wealthy individual bought this site/app/company, I lost a lot of connections with fellow educators I'd made over the many years I have been here. One connection who has stayed here with me is my friend, @VictoriaTheTech, who is celebrating her birthday today!

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

Just dropped episode 11 with our buddy Alex Valencic. He shares his views on professional learning and how he entered this challenging profession. @cm7teach @alextvalencic https://t.co/RcGRRdyGlv

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 https://t.co/67IYnnfUKf

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.
