That's a wrap! Today was our last day of Spanish 202. Said "hasta luego" to my AMAZING class of seniors. We will all will be "graduating” this year!
Thrilled to share that I will be the next Director of Educational Technology & Innovation at @BinghamtonCSD. 1/2

Had to re-activate to get something done. The relief that I feel when I see this screen is wonderful.

This was a good thing to read today. Teachers are still recovering from the school year, and we NEED at least a week or two with no commitments, no emails, and not having to do anything but sit on the couch, guilt-free. It’s the only way to recover from burnout.

Just wrapped up the last class of the year with a thank you to my students for their tenacity. What a difficult year. We did it. At times it seemed like we weren’t going to make it, ¡pero lo hicimos! ✅ 💪 🇪🇸

My colleague just made the best Desmos activity to help our students navigate the changes in Schoology vs. Google Classroom. I am SO lucky to have such proactive colleagues to help turnkey things like this to our Ss and other Ts. Thank you @math4love!!
