Instead of a picture of me for this one, I had some assistance from AI. Fun to create a snow globe for Day Ten of #AdobeForEdu #12DaysofChristmas with @AdobeExpress.adobe.com Two more days to go.

I am a peppermint gal! One of my favorite things about winter is that it is peppermint season. Naturally, it made sense that my Day Nine #AdobeForEdu #12DaysofCreativity with @AdobeExpress.adobe.com be related to peppermint.

Continuing the #AdobeForEdu #12DaysofCreativity using @AdobeExpress.adobe.com with Day Six. I couldn't thinking of a place I wanted to go at the moment, but the North Pole seemed appropriate for this time of the year🎅

I can confidently say this is one of more unusual things I've ever created😂 . Day 5 of #AdobeForEdu #12DaysofCreativity w @AdobeExpress.adobe.com - a dancing snack. Now I want some chips and queso. What snack would you make dance?

What if an ugly sweater could prove real learning? 👚🎄
Ss can design content-based sweaters & then justify every symbol, color, & pattern with evidence. Science, math, ELA, history & digital citizenship all fit.

This is a great post from @ditchthattextbook.com for finding the "minimum effective dose" to keep your workload manageable. This is so important for teachers avoiding burnout especially during the Disillusionment Phase for new educators. #EduSky #NTChat
