Starting my last class at @ACEedu for my principal preparation certificate! Excited to have it accomplished in just ten weeks. Anyone go through the program and have an insights to share on that last class?

Ya'll remember how fun Twitter Chats used to be at the height of #EduTwitter? I miss those times. #waledchat #122edchat #tlap #teachbetter #masterychat

If you aren't using @magicschoolai, I cannot recommend enough how much of a gamechanger and support it has been for me in the classroom. We are doing a Presidential Roundtable Discussion that I worked through and had MagicSchool help me chunk!

Starting my penultimate course for my Principal Prep Certificate. Balancing coursework with teaching new preps and having a newborn has been BUSY, but it has definitely really impacted my understanding of school operations and leadership in a positive way!

@hubbardbradford Bradford rules!!!

Just got this on LinkedIn from a former student who is crushing it and now in his 4th year of medical school. Super proud of him and so grateful for this message…my heart is full. #makeitmatter

I know Raina at @magicschoolai has helped me plan quite a bit with my new preps the last two years!

@ACEedu Ty! Enjoyed getting my master’s through ACE years ago, glad to get my principal cert through ACE now! Even brought a friend into the program with me!

Halfway done 👏 That’s huge! Some advice we hear often from admins is to lean into relationships, lead with listening and never stop learning! Leadership isn’t about having all the answers – it’s about creating a culture where everyone thrives. 😌 We know your future school is lucky already! #YouGotThis

I’m over halfway done my principal certificate program through @ACEedu. Current admin, what words of wisdom do you have for someone who is going to start looking for their first admin position?

Look Mom, I’m famous. 🤣 Seriously can’t say enough good about magic School does to complement and enhance the work of educators seeking to help the next generation find new ways to succeed and innovate! #MadeWithMagic

When you make it on the @magicschoolai Facebook page! 🔥🔥🔥 love the product and always love when I get to help promote it!!

. @Google said the quiet part out loud in recently revealed internal documents. They imagine a future where: “Parents ask their children, ‘Why aren’t you watching more YouTube?’” “School administrators shift budgets from textbooks to YouTube subscriptions.” I don’t know a single parent or school asking for this. Real technology literacy means students understand that platforms like YouTube and Google make money through ads and by maximizing time on platform. It means understanding how algorithms are designed to capture attention and drive revenue, often at the expense of depth, focus, and well-being. I’d prefer students spend less time on screens and more time engaging with trusted teachers, classmates, family, and the world around them. At @magicschoolai, we believe technology can be a powerful learning tool for students when used purposefully and aligned to clear learning outcomes. That’s not to say Google hasn’t done good work for schools. It has, and there are many mission-driven people there working hard to support student learning. But when children’s learning environments are shaped by ad-driven incentives, something fundamental is off. Full story in the comments.

Having my students do a contract negotiation for Managers v. Workers in the Progressive Era. Had @magicschoolai help me divide up the days and am using a custom chatbot to help them prep for the negotiation. I'm excited for this!! @DGrahamLCPS @Shaffer_LCPS @ERobbPrincipal

Great day getting to learn more of the admin ropes at @RBMS_Official and see some of my former students!! Thanks to @Shaffer_LCPS for letting me come in and learn!

As always, @magicschoolai is on the cutting edge! Cosmetics included!! Love the fresh design @adeelorama

My professional hot take. I don’t find 6-7 annoying. In fact I use it regularly with my students and see them cringe as I make reference to it. 🤣

after driving for 10ish hours with a 5 year old and a 2 year old that corporate America could have some sympathy on an exhausted father who was trying to get home to teach on Monday.)

On the drive home and I couldn’t afford to book another room so we had to drive six more hours to get home. @Expedia’s app was what worked in a pinch and the hotel won’t consider an honest human mistake that was made (I understand policy, but was hoping…

Anyone have a hotel chain they like? Used to use @HiltonHotels as a @HiltonHonors member, but when we booked a room and the date was different than what I had requested I didn’t see until after I booked while with my crying kids and my wife at 8:55pm trying to find a place …
