I’m so grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on students/athletes and inspire them to change the world!

I'm also thankful for my family that helps make the hard times easier.

Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely adding it to my list. One of the books will help me further my coaching philosophy, and the other one has been perfect for my classroom. Oh, and I just finished listening to the audiobook for The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl. It was so good! #edusky

Both of them are fantastic! Listened to Sold a Story after reading The Knowledge Gap!

One that I have enjoyed is The Six Shifts podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Thank you for sharing! That would be great to hear from someone else! We started with spaghetti towers, then went to a small lesson on catapults, then to cars powered by different energy sources. We are on 3D print now in collaboration with our visitor's center.

Definitely agree with this! We played Yahtzee! Created the term Yaht Club then tried to recruit others to join us!

A great reminder on the true importance of how to use technology meaningfully. Also learned that Jake Miller was a #Stem educator! #EduSky

I would agree! It reminds of some of book The Knowledge Gap talks about by Natalie Wexler.

I'm thinking of starting off with a design your name. Then creation with Play-Doh! Then a small thinking challenge where they work together in teams.

This was a great book by John Spencer to start reading with the new year coming! Lots of great reminders that isn't it the fancy tools the students will remember, but the experiences that you create!
