A shout out to my Windy Hill Elem. math team and our current growth in unit math assessments (nearing 20%) by embracing more collaboration and engagement with hands-on and visual learning opportunities before diving into the abstract math realm. Students are leveling up with a foundation to succeed!

Bluesky reaching these new heights is truly impressive. And after a social media break, I'm excited to see these new connections! A bit about me lately: I've been serving as a math coach at a Title I elementary school here in Jacksonville this school year helping to support some fantastic teachers.

A quick look at a Duval County elementary class gaining STEAM experience and seeing new vocabulary come to life with this Minecraft Education world. Students investigated and created their own animation 'magic'. It was a joy supporting this first grade classroom - way to go!

I hope not to butcher these sessions too bad 😜

The awesome part of my job: Providing model math lessons either in-class or in our district's Minecraft Lab to these 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders! Here's a glimpse into some recent elementary lessons that help students become engaged and immersed in learning fun - #EDUsky

As a 1st timer, I'm excited to keep learning from this amazing edtech community. Oh, and a special shout-out to our doggo Bowie for supporting my work and not being too upset when we leave the house in the mornings 😆 #EDUsky

After learning about UDL choice boards, I whipped up this example in Canva. Then I realized their Translate app can automatically create versions in other languages! And pair these with OneNote to give students the tools and space needed to show their learning with flexibility. @edusky.bsky.social

Great teachers…

What would you add?

We're adding finishing touches on our U.L.T.R.A. conference for 300 Duval County educators. Making learning engaging and accessible with edtech & Minecraft is our goal. Thanks to @themerrillsedu.bsky.social, @mtholfsen.bsky.social Microsoft, Discovery Edu, Guy Harvey, and more for support! #EDUsky

Here's some great digital math tools that #teachers can use anytime their curriculum leaves us feeling like we need something else to reach and engage all our students. What are your go-to math resources? #edtech

Happy Birthday, USA! Even though full of flaws, there’s always the promise of a more perfect union for all. Celebrating with a couple of great American rock ‘n’ roll legends, and later a little fun with friends.
