This is a cool opportunity for middle and high school students: 2025 Congressional App Challenge

One might argue there are, ahem, issues with our current state of government. Great way to build for change!

Took students to the MLK Memorial in DC. Our students witnessed MAGA wearing teens spitting on the monument. When confronted, the adults did not apologize or appear embarrassed. Racism is taught. #antiracist #edusky #historymatters

It may be Monday, but my mind is already looking forward to the weekend, because I'll be at #TCEA sharing my love of all things #FigJam and how educators can use it to build community and collaboration with their students!

If you'll be there, come say hi and "Get Figgy With It" πŸͺ©

Dark blue background with quoted text: β€œPlants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.” ― Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

Today brings a juxtaposition of emotions: hope as I reflect on MLK, Jr. and his dream for our country - and fear as I see the direction our country is formally handing power to.

So with that, I share a quote I plan to come back to often over the coming years when I can't seem to find the light.

Recuperating from the chaos of the past week with some sleepy pups and LEGOs.

At least until the chaos begins again in a few days when family comes to visit (good chaos, but chaos nonetheless).

Calling all teachers πŸ“£
I want to design some FigJam templates to help students with project planning (thinking goal setting, backwards mapping, keeping track of tasks, etc.).

What would you want to see in these? What would help your Ss develop their self-directed learning skills?

TY!

I use it to get ideas for activities to extend my lessons and add variety as well. The suggestions definitely need revising, but they get my gears turning and help inspire some new ways of thinking.

I’m a fan of FigJam if folks can adapt to the infinite whiteboard environment. Otherwise, Padlet Sandbox is closest (but not free for edu like FigJam is).
