It's been a loooong time since I posted here—but if you want to find me, I'm going to make an effort to post over here a wee bit more: bsky.app/profile/video-amy.b…

I was truly moved by the voices of all the educators who called in when @edutopia opened our phone lines and asked about this last school year. We made this piece to share their stories. Highly recommend turning the sound on!

With spring on the way, many schools are considering outdoor learning labs for safer in-person instruction. We worked with @outteach_ncsc to share tips for getting started on a budget of just $2500. #outdoorlearning

I love seeing schools we've covered in the past share how they've translated their practices for Covid! Collaboration & group-work, adapted for a hybrid model.
Thanks @edutopia for sharing - here is an example of what collaboration (making learning social) looks like with @MPOWERingEDU during COVID @Design39Campus - youtu.be/2JvnreXs5BI

<3 @nicolecardoza in @antiracismdly: “Moving thru #BlackHistoryMonth2021 like it’s merely a learning opportunity misses the mark. This is a year for making the history books, not only for re-reading them. Education is essential, but we have to also take targeted actions...”

My girls and I are getting ready to watch!
Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster are helping kids stand up to racism. Join @SesameStreet and CNN for Coming Together: Standing Up to Racism, a town hall for kids and families, this morning at 10 a.m. ET on CNN and streaming on CNN.com and CNNgo apps
So proud to see our team on the front lines, capturing what’s happening in schools. Go @NoraFleming1!
Out filming the return of some special education and alternative education students to Marin County, California schools for @edutopia . Excited to be back in the field even if we’re all wearing masks.

RIP @TheAtlantic video team. As you may have heard, we were among the 68 folks laid off today. After 3 years, I'm very sad to be leaving, but very proud of the work we have done together bringing urgent stories to light and giving platforms to underrepresented voices. (THREAD)
