Forget fun facts! Educator @kyleniemis.bsky.social‬ keeps things interesting by inviting Ss to a snoozefest. 😴
"Instead of asking students to share a 'fun fact' about themselves, I ask them to share a 'boring fact.' As someone who made the switch a few years back, I can tell you that it results in many more 'fun' facts and a whole lot less anxiety for students." —Educator Kyle Niemis

Think of the last PD you attended—what was it about?

1. Pedagogical Approaches
2. EdTech Tools & Platforms
3. Content-Specific Training
4. Other?
