It was a blessing and an honor to speak at SXSW EDU 2025.
I spent so much time preparing for this moment, and overcoming the personal and professional challenges that came with it, that now, after the experience, I’m left with the most important question:

Honestly, it’s moments like this that make teaching worth it. Let your students choose how they use their time—you might just get a classroom full of readers. Who knew?

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the lyrics to Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot as a poem by William Shakespeare. The result did not disappoint.

Vacation day 2 started with a nice walk up to Cerro de la Cruz and a continued walk around Antigua, Guatemala. I've been lucky to live here for twelve years, but it never gets old.

Throwback to almost a year ago when we drove 10 hours from Manila, hiked through a ravine and up a mountain to get traditional tattoos from the 106 year old legend, Apo Whang-od

Have any other teachers had the pleasure of getting showered in vomit by a student in their first year? Good times 😑

Emphasizing creation through fantasy and D&D role play has been one of my best classroom strategies. I don't know who is having more fun in the classroom, but I don't think that matters!
