Here's the video you didn't know you needed to watch today. But you did. A lynx napping in a tree. Cool stuff! bangordailynews.com/2021/03/10/out…

Apparently these four raccoons and these four deer know where to find a nice woodland breakfast. Together. Trail cam gem! bangordailynews.com/2021/04/01/out…

While in college I applied for a summer internship at the Washington Post. The reply: "Thank you for applying for our internship in newswriting. We regret to inform you that we rejected candidates with superior qualifications to yours." (Ouch. Still hurts)

Today's column: All I've ever known, professionally, is a career in journalism. And now I'm stepping away from that in order to become a high school English teacher. Wish me luck. bangordailynews.com/2021/04/30/out…

How does Dick Fosbury have only 2,400 Twitter followers? C’mon! He only invented the method that virtually all high jumpers have used for the past 50 years. An American icon. Period. (For the record, all of my jumpers know his name ... I think ... quiz before tomorrow’s meet)

As a student teacher just embarking on my second career, I just sat through my first PD in-service. We had hundreds of options, and I enjoyed the ones I sat in on ... some longtime pros in attendance at my school did seem to share a "been there, done that" vibe, though. #edchat

As an older-than-typical first-time student teacher focusing on high school ELA (after spending 28 years as a journalist), I'm really interested in hearing new ways to engage students through digital storytelling. I'm all ears! Help! #AppleEDULeaderChat

Not to send things off the well-defined rails of this chat, but as a beginning teacher I'm curious what your top three digital media platforms (for classroom use) would be. #AppleEDULeaderChat
