It's official. The Word Mapping Project website is up, and the curriculum is now available for purchase. A big thank you to everyone who supported me during this process. Let's do right by kids. wordmappingproject.com

In Arcade you can convert lesson plans and worksheets into playable games in minutes! Upload a PDF, select the game you want, share with your students, and watch their scores roll in.

@dailystem Best line, "Stop thinking about what you don't have, start thinking about what you do have for the kids!" Thanks for the reminder as I just returned home from CUE2026 & STEAM Symposium.

The biggest education conference in the state was two blocks away from my school… but I had to miss out on being there, and it was still inspiring! #NewSchoolCulture

Give teachers 4 dominoes, 1 ping pong ball, & a cup & tell the “make a Rube Goldberg machine” Then they’ll go back to their classroom & get kids making them & learning the science!

Forget “satisfying videos” Get your kids designing & creating with a Cricut… our classroom was filled with the real satisfying peel of the cardstock

In high school, I didn't realize we could actually use difference of two squares to help us with mental math. Here's how we can apply this.

@howie_hua Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for to help my struggling students with division. Can't wait to share it with them!

Just in case anyone wants to understand what's happening in the long division algorithm, here's a <2 minute explainer.

@XpatEducator Thank you for sharing! I'd would enjoy a copy.

Nearly 1000 pounds on a popsicle bridge built by students! A structure made from popsicle sticks just carried nearly half a ton of weight without collapsing. This bridge was carefully engineered, not improvised. Civil engineering students applied the same principles used in real-world bridges, load distribution, triangulation, compression vs. tension, and material efficiency, scaled down to wood sticks and adhesive. By arranging the sticks into truss patterns, each piece shares the load instead of bearing it alone. Weight is redirected through the structure, spreading force outward and downward rather than concentrating it at a single failure point. The result is a lightweight model that behaves like a full-scale bridge. Strong geometry, precise joints, and disciplined construction allowed it to withstand 947 pounds before breaking. This is why engineering is not about materials alone. It is about how intelligently those materials are used.

Retrieval practice is a powerful tool but it's rapidly becoming a lethal mutation. Here are five principles to think about when trying to apply it more effectively.

HUGE HUGE announcement! I am so excited that all the accommodations are now free forever. It makes my heart so happy that more and more students will be able to access this now. 🩷🥳 #edtech #edchat #teachers #letsfindaway #wayground #quizizz #teachertwitter
