Absolute pleasure to chat with @cultofpedagogy about class jobs! Check out the blog post & podcast linked in her tweet :)
Thanks to @GibsonEdu for sharing his enthusiasm and convincing me that now is a great time to implement a classroom jobs program—mid-year, mid-remote learning, all that mess. Ideas worth checking out! cultofpedagogy.com/classroom…
It's Creator Friday at @ConvertKit today!
Here's what I'm working on:
Every few months here at ConvertKit, we have a Creator Friday.
It’s a day where everyone on the team can tap into their creator side.
→ work on their side hustle
→ build something
→ write music
etc.
We’ll be sharing what some folks on the team are doing today.
We’d love to see what creative work you’re doing!
Quote tweet this along with a picture of what you’re creating today.

Having a class job of ‘celebration coordinator’ who would would make or bring a small gift for anyone who had a birthday that week and lead in singing happy birthday.
They had a list of everyone’s birthday they referenced every week.
Such a great feeling when you do a Google Search on a former student from years ago and see they're doing really well.
Searched a 5th grade student of mine from 2013 and he's started his own business 👍
This is my most common advice to teachers who struggle with classroom management.
Find a teacher with a reputation of a positive classroom culture.
Tell them what you’re struggling with and get their feedback.
They know your school culture better than anyone.

Arranging your classroom so you can see what everyone is working on and who is on or off task (or as best you can if you’ve got an awkwardly shaped room) is such a simple & effective classroom management strategy.
👩🏼🏫 #ClassroomManagement is still vitally important in a #BlendedLearning environment.
Learn how to handle unproductive behaviors once you’ve made the switch to #StudentLed.

I'm huge on reflecting & journaling as well as goal setting...but I just can't even approach the 'where do you want to be in 10 years' question.
Almost seems silly to try.
Y'all even had the same timeline of Texas!
So awesome 🤖🧮📈

This is wild. Watch the first couple min of this.
Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

The last YouTube video I uploaded to my edu-channel was Sept 2021.
Had about 11k subscribers at the time.
Since then several of my classroom management videos have taken off.
I just hit 30,000 subscribers.
Pretty crazy to watch it passively grow from videos I made years ago!
Hey @DavidErickRamos, if you haven't heard this episode of @20korg you'll clearly enjoy it - 20k.org/episodes/zeldabeep
Also, @20korg, David's career started with uploading a video of him playing Ocarina of Time on an ocarina on YouTube in 2006 - youtu.be/Nad5AJaIcBI
Here's part 2 of the episode - 20k.org/episodes/zeldatones
Well the time has come to move the little ones to their own room.
Which means my office / studio is going to be migrating downstairs into the smaller room.
End of an era.

Threads, Instagram’s Twitter competitor, is expected to launch THIS WEEK 👀🫢💭
According to the App Store, Threads is coming sooner than we all thought.
Is it because of the dumpster fire that Twitter *continues* to become? Probably.
But it has been in the works for a while and some of what we know so far is…
💫 previously known as Barcelona/P92, now ‘Threads’
💫 it’s a text-based conversation app
💫 you can keep your IG username
💫 you can follow the same accounts you do on IG
💫 you can upload links, images and videos
💫 maximum length of posts, allegedly, 500 characters
And I, for one, am excited to see how this all plays out 😌
