THIS says so much to me:
📝a good teacher never stops giving their best
📝even at the end, they are still making impacts

Find yourself an edtech leader who believes teachers are capable, not one who diminishes or degrades teachers' knowledge or skills. Teachers can do anything; it's about whether the time and PD support are dedicated by schools to make changes happen.
“Please just let me teach!”
School leaders need to recognize and appreciate this passionate plea that is felt by so many conscientious educators. And they should never stop exploring ways to minimize and streamline the extra paperwork.
Irish battle day challenge #3: @gimkit Musical desks. The students started a gimkit game on their computer. When I played the music they got up and walked around. Music stopped, they went to the closest computer and continued the game there. #xplap#Gamemyclass
