By day, navigating the world of ed tech, harnessing the power of digital tools in the classroom. By night, a podcaster training a legion of snails, while delving into the depths of obscure eldritch lore. Always on the lookout for a D&D game.
If you are at the #EdGrowth conference today at Teachers College of San Joaquin come by and visit these amazing people at the #CCCUE booth to learn about a great group of educators supporting each other and the use of technology to support learning and students.

How to play Call of Cthulhu.

Spend two hours creating a character who will probably die the first session. The GM spends the entire session carefully tiptoeing around period racism/misogyny. Some unpronounceable eats everyone or drives them crazy.

Also: candles.

Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, here’s how you can absolutely wreck a 5th level party with just one earth elemental.

The earth elemental might look like a brute, relying on its physical prowess to harm foes, but it’s actually a skirmisher.

A slew of discriminatory anti-voter bills have been introduced or enacted to restrict access to the ballot box, but we can hold elected officials accountable and advocate for legislation that would secure & expand access to the ballot box for all U.S. citizens.

"I want to switch over to Bluesky, but I just don't get the kind of engagement I get on Twitter."

Wow, you mean your strategy of following 18 people here and showing up once every three weeks to complain about how quiet it is hasn't paid off? Surprising!
