@KurtBenkert @SCHEELS @ShopTheDimeLab This is my nephew!!! Way to go!

Really cool story: 1. @SCHEELS employees are so pleasant. Welcoming and friendly and you can feel the culture of the company everywhere throughout the store 2. The young gentleman on the left walked up to me and asked me if I had checked out @ShopTheDimeLab footballs before. He picks a pink one up and says “man this is my favorite, if you haven’t felt one of these you gotta feel the grip, it’s crazy”. I’m laughing inside and play along and follow up by saying “you’re doing an incredible job selling me this football” and he says something along the lines of “well it has been selling like crazy and personally it’s my favorite football we have — here, feel it” and tosses me the ball. So I catch the football and say “man - you’re good at this, it is crazy grippy…. you might not know this but I co-founded the company” He stops in his tracks and says “wait! You’re Kurt Benkert - dude this is crazy” Long story short we circle back before I leave to get some pictures and what not but the coolest part was that he truly wasn’t trying to “sell” me the football - he was coming by because he saw me looking at them and wanted to tell me how cool they were and that they were flying off the shelves. Very very cool moment and I really am thankful for all of the things happening right now

@WerderEdNFL @ShopTheDimeLab @SCHEELS That’s my nephew ❤️❤️

The associates at @SCHEELS are tremendous.

On Day 2 of the Children's Cabinet retreat, we made site visits and learned from our local providers. The Early Childhood group went to the YMCA of the Northern Sky Best in Class, the Peace Academy Fargo and comprehensive Head Start and child care programing provided by Mayville State University Child Development Programs. We learned about the importance of family engagement and parent education, supporting young children as they learn and develop through play-based environments, and the powerful impacts of quality programs for ages 0-5 that support working families in our state. @Hunt_Institute

Productive and energetic North Dakota Children's Cabinet retreat in Fargo. Representatives from across State government joined Pritha Gopalan and Michelle Fockler from the @Hunt_Institute to discuss early childhood best practices. We split the state into regions and have dedicated meetings learning the unique strengths and opportunities for growth in each area. This work moves us forward as we continue to engage communities and focus on our mission of the Children’s Cabinet: to drive towards a seamless network of services and supports that meet the needs of every child and family.

More evidence that the global decline in test scores that began after 2012 is linked to the proliferation of smartphones and computers in class: The slide was bigger in countries where students began spending more time on devices (for leisure) generationtechblog.com/p/phones-at-sc…

To be clear: there are some educational uses; schools should have a computer room. But the 1:1 mission has backfired. Devices should not be on each student's desk. This is why so many Silicon Valley parents choose schools with zero tech in the classroom: theguardian.com/teacher-networ…
