Do you prefer your own company? You're not alone. Watch Susan Cain's classic TED Talk about why we should celebrate the talents and abilities of introverts: t.ted.com/ayIUUAi #WorldIntrovertDay

It's been a challenging year. Wishing all of you a #HappyNewYear & a much better #2021. Words by @neilhimself, art by me, from the print available here at neverwear.net

1) Have pride. (Work hard at everything you do.) 2) Be Kind. (You never know when your words or actions can lift the spirit of another.) 3) Do the right thing. (Be a person of integrity.) This is what I talked to our students about today. These are our expectations.

Portland, MAINE right now. Chanting for #BreonnaTaylor, on her birthday. Just stunning.

Emergency remote teaching vs. #onlinelearning... interesting insight from the post-secondary realm. Thanks @addieloy for the thought-provoking read. #upei21c2069 bit.ly/3dbjqfL

Every kid you teach loves something. They are interested in something. They are nervous about something. They are good at something. I wonder what that something is.

@hkanabar Such a beautiful idea! Best wishes to @SISGeckos as you get ready to re-open!

As we get ready to finally open our doors to students after 13 weeks online, our colleagues and friends, who are unable to return, are dearly missed. This gesture made us feel sad and happy all at the same time. Thank You #sisrocks #issedu

@1hightechteach Well said, Jen! Thank you for all that you're doing for our team! 💐

Remember to give grace to all during this period, including admin, IT, support personnel, etc. We all are coping in different ways and have different trials in our lives.

Pure, chill-inducing beauty - one of my favourite songs of all time, now more meaningful than ever. #StrongerTogether #Covid19 #TogetherAtHome @BlueRodeo youtube.com/watch?v=63a3h9…

A friend said it feels like Mother Nature told us to go to our rooms & think about what we've done! If we use #COVID19 to re-establish parts of our lives we've been forced to adjust & keep the good (more home cooking, reading & walks, less cars) that would be a #silverlining.

I've just hit publish on a MEGA guide to teaching online due to #schoolclosures #COVIDー19 So many examples, tips, + tools. Plus a checklist to help plan for a school closure. Please share with anyone who may find it helpful! theedublogger.com/teaching-onlin… #onlinelearning #edtech

Big laugh to release some tension while doing #research:
