When I talked to Joel Levin abt our #armmewith games list, we had a fascinating conversation about the need for a nuanced discussion about #videogames. The letter he wrote for our resource is an insightful #SundayMorning read for those interested in #kids #screentime #EdTech

Earlier this year, I was asked to give a @Ted_ed Educator Talk. It was just posted! I talk about some of my first experiences using Minecraft at school from almost 10(!) years ago. #TedTalk #TED youtube.com/watch?v=cdVLFD… Hope you like it!

I'm really sad Adobe Flash Platform is going away. Look at all these beautiful, original games that will be lost to time. Who will play them? Who will remember them? Try them before they are gone: ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

Thinking about the work of @remikalir and AnterO))) Garcia today in a PD about Executive Functioning. Biggest advice for educators of learners with lagging-EF skills: Take pics of model examples of HW/backpack/desk/etc and #annotate them to help kids be able to visualize the steps.

That one time I got a bad haircut and then gave a TED Talk... Fun fact: You can see my kids in the video right when I say "one of my daughters". (although now they are out as non-binary!)
