Had fun with 5th graders this week. We coded Ozobots to orbit the Earth like the moon & we launched paper rockets in the sunshine.

Author & illustrator @peterbrownstudio.com is not only talented, he’s one of the kindest people. He spoke to thousands of kids at UA Schools today. I’ve never planned a field trip author visit, but my librarian team pulled it off! Many thanks to the UA Public Library for making this possible.

I had fun sharing at an Ohio ADE Spotlight virtual event with Liz Meredith. I shared some creative activities about visual storytelling that integrate technology and literacy. #AppleEduSky #AppleEducationCommunity
