If your class is struggling with academic discussions, I would highly recommend using a hexagonal thinking activity to get the conversation flowing. Here's a dive into what it is: cultofpedagogy.com/hexagonal-thin… Here's a blank template that I use: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Change will only occur when we realize that we have let assigning tasks and marking them replace the actual work of teaching. Via @Dean_of_math #CodeBreaker 🦾

@blacklionking73 @pattonoswalt This really is a great book. “The AC hadn’t so much conditioned the air as suggested it might want to cool down. He sprawled across the sofa. The duct tape on the armrest snagged a few of the hairs on his forearm.” I could feel that AC, and I was on that sofa. Love it!!

I absolutely LOVE this spinner wheel and if you don't know about @shapegrams yet you definitely need to check them out. Super fun, ready to use digital art lessons for all ages. So fun. So many ways to incorporate them into your lesson plans! Shapegrams.com ❤️🎨

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said." We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized. Credit: Ira Byock.

It is reckless and a complete lie to blame President Biden for this. The $6 billion that the U.S. provided to Iran to return innocent U.S. civilians was in the form of aid, food, & resources for people on the ground, NOT for military support, weapons, or direct cash. Full stop.

This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth. Without it earth would most likely be uninhabitable for humans. Mad respect for Jupiter.
