Hi Bluesky!
I'm excited to see so much of the old Twitter EDU community here! Hoping for that energy for learning and growth again!

Dear Weather Channel (weather.bsky.social)
A limerick:
Not a pro, but one of your cons
Is that no one is using neurons
To make this emoji.
Try math pedagogy
For all #snowflakesarehexagons
Honestly, I don't know which of these versions is worse, but each of them is quite upsetting. ❄️

I am here for all the ideas; big and little. That little thing you do that may just make sense to you may make a huge difference for me. So please share away!!
When I joined the social media platform that shall not be named I found Ts who shared freely & others who accepted that or moved on. Recently, no on moves on, they punch down on the share. We need more "this is for me!" or "This is what I've seen" and less "why would you share that" #slowpopupchat

Hot Take:
Numbers are taught as adjectives first and nouns second.
5 Apples: adj.
5 is half of 10: noun.
Lead students through acquiring the language of math!!

All of this!
I love teaching pre-service teachers while working with in-service teachers as well. There are so many amazing things evolving and working in our classrooms that the pre-service crew needs to be prepared to hit the ground running. #BridgeTheGap and tighten the web for all EDU's.
Let me shake the table:

When people have told me, "You've moved onto bigger and better things," I tell them, "No, I moved to something different and potentially as important."

The best professors have either extensive K-12 experience or enough humility to bridge the gap.

But power matters here.
(Also: while we are at it, can we eliminate the phrase “I’m leaving the classroom so I can impact more kids” from the discourse? Like, I get it, but let’s be honest: think about how that really sounds to those of us in the classroom.)

Be relevant. Be real. Learning is so deeply connected to joy and exploration. Find ways to connect to your students' joy and exploration.
