We need some fun in our lives to get us to spring break!

Almost all digital math platforms I have seen do NOT have students engage in the 8 mathematical practices. Every lesson, students should be engaging in at least ONE of these practices. Does the EdTech being sold to you weave these in? Be skeptical of programs that don't. #MathChat #iTeachMath #MathTeacher #TeacherTech

It has been a great week!

I didn't take many pictures WOW did I need #IDEAcon. Here's to presenting to a full room, having the best assistant to the president ever, being gifted the coolest jacket from an even cooler human, loving a keynote so much it moved me to tears, and so much more.

I've been following @MarcusLuther6 for years. I. Can't. Wait. To meet him! #ideacon

Listening to #ideacon Tuesday keynote Ted Neitzke on the That's the IDEA podcast. Everything he's saying is resonating with me. I can't wait to meet him!

@InnovatewithAsh @BytesNBookmarks @WickedEdTech @ManyEdventures @FeketeEDU @chanatown @farmerfaubs @manuelherrera33 @GeekTalkTeacher @educatoralex There's an app! Search IDEA IL in your app store! #IDEAcon

@BytesNBookmarks @WickedEdTech @ManyEdventures @FeketeEDU @chanatown @farmerfaubs @tsuejohnson @manuelherrera33 @GeekTalkTeacher @educatoralex I just went through the tough website and made a Google doc with a table with days, times, rooms, and the sessions I want to see. Way easier to wrap my head around then!

In less than one week, I'll be back in Schaumburg setting up for IDEAcon. If you know me, you know I love questions, so I have one for you all today. What presenters/sessions would you recommend to a friend? Why? #ideacon #edtech #education ideaillinois.org/IDEAcon

Ready or not, here we go! #IDEAcon bound bright and early this morning!

Headed to #IDEAcon next week? Check out the podcast! Stefanie and Don sat down with many of our featured speakers to learn their stories. I'm currently listening to Kunal Dalal talk about AI in education. I have the honor of introducing him Monday! So pumped.

There's still time to register to see MEEEE present at #IDEAcon. The learning. The vibes. The connections. It's the best conference to attend! web.cvent.com/event/7eae65c8…

Learning about @Scrible tonight in the @ideaillinois board meeting tonight. Wow! It makes the writing process visible, which is not only good teaching, but also a great way to combat AI academic dishonesty!

Teachers... is there a water bottle filling station at your school? Use it for the numbers: -is the # even or odd? -is the # divisible by 3? -what is the avg water bottles per day? -what’s the increase from yesterday? -can we graph the data?

I got asked to teach another college class last minute! Help! It's 2nd semester college comp (Eng 102), and the book is already picked out: #TheAnxiousGeneration. Any resources would be appreciated! #englishteachers #collegecomp #teachwriting #ncte #aplit #aplang #teachertwitter

My socks tell the story... I have barely left the house in two weeks! Today is going to be a rough adjustment for my senses...

@RobinhoodApp Sad. Crashed. I got a black screen with two lines.
