One thing I'm still learning (and need to remind myself of often) is this: b/c the Bluesky algorithm isn't capitalism focused, engagement here doesn't work the same way it does in other spaces. We must actually REPOST content to boost it. Likes are lovely, but don't affect visibility. #tlsky #edusky

Thankful for the time I spent in Boston w/my #ncte #nwp #alan colleagues over the last week for giving me hope & renewed energy for the work we do.
Thankful to return home to my family, friends, & students.
Also thankful for the break to recharge & reflect before diving back into it all next week.

Not thinking I do anything out of the ordinary, but keeping track of where each of my classes are, what they need to do that day, and who needs what remedie reminders/help and when…it’s a lot to even give the short version to someone who has kindly agreed to step in for you for the day. 2/2

Mind boggling how much I do when I put it in sub plans… Just getting home at 7:30 pm after finally printing sub plans & arranging them on my desk…and I still need to put assignments into Canvas. I know #NCTE24 and #ALAN24 will be worth it, but goodness are sub plans exhausting… 1/2

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline (but remember to include alt text).

I don’t know what I want or need here just yet. I am, however, going in with the awareness that this platform is free (“If you aren’t paying for it, you are the product.”) and that what’s posted on it is public. Maybe I’ve done too much AI PD, but are we making a new training dataset for AI?

In the meantime, I’m excited to be heading to Boston this week for #NCTE24 and #ALAN24 Hoping to find my actual voice again before then. (Laringitis) Looking forward to seeing friends in person. ❤️

I’m realizing that I’ve largely turned into my mom on social media over the last several years. Lurk. Like. Occasionally DM. Promote projects (mostly theater stuff I’ve been involved with). Occasionally brag about my kid. Not sure I’ll come out of my shell yet, but I’m hanging out here.

I guess with the flight of nerdy friends heading here, I’ll dust this off and try to use it.
