Seven tiny little glow in the dark aliens in various positions lying on a desk. They are no larger than an inch tall.
Day two of hiding little glow in the dark aliens in my classroom for students to find. (I am perpetuating the lore about Greg the alien who used to live in my broken ceiling tile.)
The covers of "Teacher Clarity" and "Clarity for Learning" (both with lightbulbs on the cover) on an abstract blue-green swirling background.
What's the best #ProfessionalDevelopment book you've read lately? I just picked up "Teacher Clarity" and "Clarity for Learning."

Food for thought! Classrooms have changed dramatically in the last five years. As someone considering a terminal degree, I have to ask, what is going to best benefit the students in our schools?
A thread with food for thought:

These first two sentences got me hooked.
I want people to slow down and consider.
What are we willingly turning over, and how does that affect the rest of the world? Thank you @cartermoulton.bsky.social

Should we even be concerned with this number? I feel like 40% feeling somewhat prepared is a decent result. No need for panic.
"Just 3% of Gen Z middle and high school students feel extremely prepared to use AI in their future jobs, with 37% feeling somewhat prepared."

I usually take the URL to an archive site (.org or .is) and see if they have an archived copy to read.
"Accessibility should not be an afterthought–rather, it should be a key component that is integrated into the design of every CS lesson, tool, and platform from the very beginning."

A message in seven different “cute” fonts that many teachers like to use. The message says “If you are having a hard time reading all of these fonts, imagine you had a reading disability and this was your classroom. (Just something to think about as you go back to school)” The logo of “Rebekah Poe Teaching” is at the bottom center.
Clean and readable is key to accessibility in your instructional materials!
