It has been my pride and joy to steward @edutopia.org's free tech newsletter, The Wired Classroom, w/ @tfberger.bsky.social:

This week we hit *60 thousand subscribers* 🥳

This newsletter would NOT go out every month without the hard work and dedication of each and every educator who writes for us.

Today marks 5 years of me working at @edutopia.org! 🤯

5 years of sharing what works in education. Could NOT do this without the help of so many extraordinary educators at all levels who give me their time & insights to blast out into the eduworld. Wish I could tag everyone.

Thank YOU most of all 🧡

When I met @alanawinnick.bsky.social last year, I *knew* she was a game changer! 💫

I've had the pleasure of working w/ her twice now as an editor at @edutopia.org: www.edutopia.org/profile/alan...

Today, I'm in Orlando for #FETC and get to see her kickoff the conference with a keynote!

Wanna shout out @marcusluther.bsky.social for jumping in and providing a great answer to my question! ⭐💡
Wondering how to create community with your students when your days are jam packed with lessons? Edutopia’s @tatertutt.bsky.social asked, “What are some small, unconventional things you do to build community with your students all-year round?”

When researching what can go wrong w/ #edtech integration (at the classroom/building/and district level), I found educators citing the exact same problems today that they flagged 10+ years ago.

I went out searching for guidance on carving a path forward.

I'd be curious to know what @marcusluther.bsky.social and @mrrablin.bsky.social would say to this question 👀
Some books don't just shape us as people—they transform how we show up in our classrooms.

Teachers, what book shaped you?

I'm a very sentimental person, so this was special. @cathleenbeachbd.bsky.social was the first teacher I *ever* interviewed at @edutopia.org four years ago.

An endless supply of positivity, ideas, and a bright guiding light in education. I was honored to finally meet her in person at #ISTElive

First day of #ISTELive was fabulous! Learning a lot! 📈

Went to an amazing session where I ran into @mrsuteachestech.bsky.social. Introduced a bunch of educators to @edutopia.org and met lots of Edutopia fans. Got to spend time w/ @mirplo.bsky.social, too.

Excited for what day 2 has in store!! 🤩

Please excuse my wrinkled comforter.. but I was TOO EXCITED to show off a bunch of other @edutopia.org bits and bobs I'm bringing with me to #ISTE25 😆

Pretty much what you see here is what I've got, supply is *limited* so those who find me first will be able to count themselves lucky. 🧡

Does your school have any engaging, unconventional afterschool clubs?

I'm not talking chess club... more like.. a cheese-tasting club or a group for kids who knit? 🧀🧶

Working on a story for @edutopia.org & would love to hear from ES, MS, & HS staff about unexpected clubs kids can’t get enough of.

Interested in writing for Edutopia, but haven't gotten the ball rolling? Look at Toby! 💡

He shared some great activities on his Bluesky. I reached out and said, "Hey, I'd love for you to write about these for us!"
