Like many of you, I'm teaching block periods this yr & trying to figure out what that looks like online (and during a pandemic). đ€

Key takeaways:
1. Everything takes 3x longer.
2. Tech is not a silver bullet.
3. 1:5 = instructional min. : min. prep
4. Kids are more polite than adults w/tech snafus.
5. Use two screens.
6. Expect the unexpected.
7. Swear in your head.
Did you know you could LOCK the screen on @PearDeck? Great use for a math lesson where you allow Ss to try a problem and then pause for real time feedback.

You want to know the greatest disincentive to work? It is taxing capital gains at a much lower rate than work income, and it is allowing people to inherit millions and millions of dollars and encouraging generations of folks not to work.

Everyone who faces adversity with arrogance is made worse.
— Dan Rockwell (@Leadershipfreak) August 8, 2020
The frailty of arrogance is inflexibility.
The drive to serve compels humility to adapt.https://t.co/qq6jyFkC53#leadership#LFreakpost pic.twitter.com/Wp8l1af8qY
Say what you mean. Say what you see. Make a photograph, if you can, for the reader.

what genius - with 10% unemployment and 160,000 dead Trump does presser from this exclusive club surrounded by rich, white men. $600 is too much for UI! No more food stamps! Biden's camp must be howling with delight.

There’s a crucial distinction between being open and being vulnerable — but people often confuse the two.
— David Perell (@david_perell) August 8, 2020
There’s no need to share everything, but being open about one topic is very useful. Vulnerability is difficult, uncomfortable, and hardly synonymous with selective openness. pic.twitter.com/pO3SvjjJue

Here is the audio of a very drunk Jerry Falwell, Jr. calling into a *morning* radio show to explain (unintentionally) why he looked like a drunk, unzipped mess on his yacht. He had posted this photo on Instagram, which would have gotten a student kicked out of his own @LibertyU. pic.twitter.com/ouzZIZ5c07
