@mpershan One of my all-time favorite games.

Rush Hour remains my favorite kid game for the way it thwarts attempts to get closer to your goal in the most obvious ways.

Just finished reading The Revenge of Power, and I now have a much better understanding of how Trump's rise to power was just one example of how autocratic leaders are all using the same playbook. h/t @pescami amazon.com/Revenge-Power-…

Just finished reading "Watergate: A New History," by Garrett Graff, and it was outstanding. My only previous source of info on it was "All the President's Men," and this adds a lot of great perspective. h/t @pescami amazon.com/Watergate-Hist…

@DrLindsayLewis @LCBledsoe Looks interesting. (I notice it pre-dates Trump's presidency.)

@bledsoe @LCBledsoe You two may also enjoy “A First-Rate Madness.” It’s non-fiction, which I usually prefer. Lindsay/Lance/Lisa book club? 📚 💃🏻

“Across the sea, fat kings watched and were gleeful that something begun so well had now gone off the rails, and if it went off the rails, so went the whole kit, forever. And if someone ever thought to start it up again, well, it would be said: the rabble cannot manage itself.”

@TheHell_Podcast @pescami Dave, we should totally start a "Bledsoe's Who Listen to The Gist" group.

@axlotl @pescami Same.

This is a suck up tweet, but @pescami deserves it. I missed The Gist so much. And it’s a joy to listen to it again as I walk to Krogers or wherever the fuck. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@sophgermain I had no idea this was a thing.

@CmonMattTHINK Is it the same as why it's still useful to memorize times tables even though we have calculators? Because it's useful to be able to bring certain facts immediately into your brain (and even calculators/computers are too slow for that)?

Sketching trig graphs by hand. Why do we still do it, when Desmos exists? Genuine question. Not saying we shouldn’t.

"I just want to learn." School-age refugees have been forced to give up so much already, they shouldn't have to give up their right to an education. Read UNHCR High Profile Supporter @johngreen's op-ed on #RefugeeEducation. bit.ly/2YBMlqY

@BoondockPels Thanks!

GREAT hands @bledsoe

I recently finished reading "Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe," by Steven Strogatz. It's really good and I highly recommend it, even if you're not a mathy type. amazon.com/Infinite-Power…

Ooh, boy, we are killing a lot of kittens on this trig identity quiz today.

Join us for #CoachWeek! @KathyPerret and I are presenting a keynote on Thriving through Disruption and a workshop on Coaching through School Culture Challenges! Register here: constructivelearningdesign.org/coachweek/. #educoach #compassionatecoaching

@kennycmckee I'm reading Infinite Powers, by Steven Strogatz. The subtitle is "How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe." Really well-written, and remarkably accessible, even for non-math folks.

I have been working on my goal of reading 30 books this year, and this is #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek! Anyone want to share what they have been reading? #educoach

.@mpeacepumo Sometimes I feel like just getting thru the day is my biggest contribution. #educoach

.@KathyPerret A2 I love seeing teachers do things they never thought they could do. #educoach

@amgonza Same here, I love getting to visit other teacher's classrooms. #educoach

A1: I left the classroom so I could get into more classrooms and reach more students. And I love collaborating! I certainly was not meant to be a silo. #educoach

.@KathyPerret A1 I became a coach because I'm fascinated by powerful teaching and learning, and I want everyone to experience it. #educoach
