@MissLyons28 Thanks so much for sharing! My students were so excited to understand more about the process of voting and choosing candidates! #sharingiscaring

This past month, my fifths have been learning about all things voting! I am so proud of what they have accomplished. They have learned about political positions, parties, and current candidates running. Check out their work! #shinebrightedison

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement: obama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

Does anyone have suggestions for really helpful chromebook extensions for students to use during remote learning? So far I have Dualless, @Screencastify Loom, @googlehangouts_ , emoji keyboard, and Mote.

@Wonderopolis and @Flipgrid have teamed up! You can now post a ‘Wonder of the Day’ on flipgrid using their Discovery option. Thanks @Flipgrid for all the cool updates! youtu.be/9U5cE7WPtUk

@GovMurphy If you want to protect the public’s health, then schools shouldn’t be opening.. teachers are people too.

Bars and patrons need to get on the same page. Quickly. I’m going to give everyone a chance to do the right thing. But if we have to shut places down to protect public health, then we will. Consider this your warning before you go out drinking this weekend.

@Mrs_WestcottMon I’ve adopted a few with my class from the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary. They send you an adoption card and information about all of the elephants. My students really loved it!

What an amazing idea, to adopt an elephant for a class. Something bright to add to this crazy, unknown school year!!

@TechEChemChic @Flipgrid @quizizz @edpuzzle I would love a copy or a sneak peek when you Are finished!

So I’m considering creating a google classroom scavenger hunt to help new students get acclimated. Any suggestions/ideas?? I plan to infuse other apps too @Flipgrid @quizizz @edpuzzle

@erinentrada Tootsie! Like my pup

39-year-old Fabiana Pierre-Louis is making judicial history as the first black woman to be nominated to the New Jersey's Supreme Court!

Just ended my zoom meeting with my class where we had one of the most important discussions of the year. I spoke about protests and #BlackLivesMattters and shared @CNN #SesameStreet video. @JMDragons5 cnn.com/videos/us/2020…

As has always been true at key moments in history, it’s going to depend on young people to go out there and rewrite what is possible. I couldn’t be prouder of all the young people leading that change right now. Here’s my advice for the Class of 2020: obama.org/updates/presid…

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. @BarackObama/how-to-make-this-moment-the-turning-point-for-real-change-9fa209806067" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@BarackObama/h…
