My time is precious so it is very important to me that the tech tools I use are efficient. I can find my students’ results easily in @wayground.bsky.social by going to the My Reports area. I can sort by status, resource type, class, date - it’s very helpful! @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway

Good use of a tank.

@wayground.bsky.social is a fabulous tool to reinforce what you are doing as a group or teacher-led in the classroom! And there is a library of resources shared that you can use if you are pressed for time.
In a rush but want to use @wayground.bsky.social to support your students’ learning? Check out the library of public activities that other teachers have shared! Here is an example for French:

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

One of the cruelest things about mental illness is that it can isolate very loving, empathetic people from the most intimate relationships. I wrote this poem when I was in a psych ward, thinking about others—known and unknown—who have carried life this way. 🖤

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Republicans are for “state’s rights” when that means promoting segregation and tormenting LGBTQ folks.

When state’s rights means feeding your state’s residents, they are all in for the federal government ensuring starvation.
