This is a film worth seeing! So good! A little of everything in it that makes it full of substance: action, suspense, romance, humor, adorable animals, good vs evil, life lessons, and good music!
I hope you enjoy our film. #Superman is in theaters today.

Sharing for anyone else who believes in science. I remember interviewing my Grandfather for a college assignment. He was born in 1909. When I interviewed him he told how prior to vaccines so many people would die.

This popped up in my FB memories from 8 yrs ago.It made me think about how we, as educators, have to evolve with the times to engage students.The world changes, but often what happens in classrooms remains stagnant.This activity isn’t even relevant anymore. But my kids loved it at the time! #edchat

Currently my desire to be well informed is at odds with my desire to remain sane. Anyone else out there feeling this?

As someone who enjoys being right, I’ve never wanted to be so wrong. I hope I’m very wrong and that many folks will be able to say to me, “I told you so,” when this is over.

If we want students who are thinkers and problem solvers we need to give them meaningful assignments in school. Recreating a renaissance art piece in World History class is not going to help a student understand more about history. It’s busy work.

So apparently the act of sending loved ones little videos and cute pictures and funny things throughout the day is called "Pebbling" because there's a species of penguin that likes to leave pebbles in their partners' nests to show they care, and this is my happy thing for today

Interesting read. I have a hs freshman who did this because of being on an advanced track, and my kid wants nothing to do with math or a math related career…. He used to love math. My other child we pulled from the advanced track and he is loving normal middle school math.
One state tried algebra for all eighth graders. It hasn’t gone well.

This state tried enrolling all eighth graders in algebra. It hasn't gone well.
The goal of universal early algebra is to get more students to take calculus in high school. Minnesota has tried it for years — with less-than-promising results.

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Conviction is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for reflecting deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

I’ve heard his voters say they voted for him “for the safety of” their kids. Not everyone will feel or be safer in our schools come January…
Trump’s back — and so, too, is the president-elect’s influence on policies that affect the safety and well-being of America’s students
