Still thinking about @chrisemdin and his “Pentecostal Pedagogy.” Thank you for setting my educator heart on fire yesterday! 🔥 “Education is not memorization. It is the activation of the imagination and a path towards liberation.” 🙌

Had the best time studying Kentucky’s 1861 secession decision at the Old State Capitol in Frankfort courtesy of @TeachAmHistory this weekend! Who doesn’t love a good rock paper scissors duel? 🪨📄✂️

This moment. Taps. 103 year old N Texan Vernon Mitchell, among the group of 68 WW2 heroes paying tribute to the fallen on Omaha beach today. Seeing it all through his eyes, his grandson Adam. Living history. #Normandy #DDay80

So similar to my own grandfather’s story. He landed at Utah beach a little over a month after D-Day, and fought across France & Germany before being wounded in Berlin on April 21, 1945.

WW2 vet Walter Stitt waits his turn to board a bus from Paris to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Stitt, a tank soldier, landed at Omaha Beach a month after D-Day and fought across France and Germany, wounded twice in combat. ⁦

You spend hours marking and commenting on student work, and then they don't even read your feedback. The solution is all in how you time it. sbee.link/xrhcvne6wt via @cultofpedagogy #teaching #educoach
