I am reaching out to my network for helping me find some examples of scams like the ones on this post. I'm organizing a presentation for the senior citizens in my neighborhood to help them avoid scams. Visuals are important so any examples would help. #DigitalCitizenship #OnlineSafety #AvoidingScams

Awesome resource from #NYCC. These are comic books for Social Studies and Civics in tons of grade levels and units.
They were giving out free printed copies but they said all the comic books are free in their digital library for all. So check it out.

Books should open minds, not close them. Yes, some content isn’t for every age but banning books altogether? That’s not protection, that’s censorship.

Remember there are organizations trying to help bring banned books to students everywhere. Here are public libraries that are offering free digital access to all young adults (age restrictions apply) even if you don't live in their city. #BooksUnbanned #CensorshipIsSo1984

Jane Goodall's legacy goes far beyond the forest. She’s a tireless advocate for conservation, climate action, and youth empowerment. Her life is an example of purpose-driven leadership. She may no longer be with us, but her legacy will live on.

I grew up in New York, about 35 miles from the Twin Towers. On September 11th, we could see the smoke from our town on Long Island. Even now, 24 years later, the memories of that day remain vivid. We still carry the weight of that day and honor the friends and family we lost. #September11th

Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. However, it's more than just a celebration of summer. In 1894, Congress passed an act to declare the first Monday in September as Labor Day, with President Grover Cleveland signing it into law. Honoring those that literally built this country.

One of my sayings in education is FAIL: First Attempt In Learning. So this quote from Richard Branson makes a lot of sense. You can't learn and grow if you've never struggled.

Remember when Dollar Tree used to joke about price checking since everything was $1. Not anymore. First everything went up to $1.25 and now it depends on the item.

Sometimes we shed things we thought we needed. That’s not weakness. It’s the quiet power of patience. Holding space for growth even when it’s not visible yet.

If you haven't tried these before, Dr. Grip has been my favorite for years. I still have my original set including mechanical pencil version (no longer sold). The grips were originally designed for people with arthritis, but they’re wonderful for folks with motor skill needs or in my case… lefty!

I kind of went fangirl last month at the #PilotPen booth. The guy gave me a new Dr. Grip (my favorite pen) and his business card. I reached out to thank him and also made a punny joke that I would love to pilot their new line of pens he mentioned coming soon. Today, I got a box full of pens.

I've never heard of Banzai before, but I did a double take when I walked past their booth last week during #ISTE2025. Check out this sticker, it perfectly describes why my handle is Making CENTS... It started as a couponing blog that’s since closed shop, but the name stuck.

Your last mistake isn’t the headline. It’s your next move that shapes the story. Getting better isn’t about being perfect, it’s about persistence, presence, and the courage to course-correct.

Imagine if social media existed in 1776. We’d probably be lighting fireworks on July 2nd instead. John Adams thought that would be the day remembered as Independence Day.
