Me too! Have a wonderful Valentines Day.

I know! Isn’t it great and the lessons are completely doable. I wish there were more.

❤ Thank you.

Thank you! Happy early Valentines Day Kelly.

I want to but haven’t had time. I would love to hear what everyone else is using. I have an assignment set up to use but don’t know where to start even though there has been great course material here in the ACUE courses. I have not done the workshop you mentioned in the Learning Lab so maybe that will help to inspire me.

This was eye opening for me. I loved this. I will be trying this soon.

Yes, I have never heard of Perplexity or Ideogram. I am on Canva and my district is getting me the Adobe Suite package. Ideogram sounds fun and I have used Padlet and love the idea of putting their work on the collaborative board for all to see. Of course I will have to do one of me too. They will love that.

I think I will have to watch this more than once. It was so full of ideas! Love the portfolio information too. Thank you so much Kelly.

Thank you for sharing Kelly. I can’t wait to take a look at it.

Of course with all technology we are somewhat hesitant. I love that you are using it with your students. I want to learn more about it to be honest; before I dive in with students. I have had to resist using it for my college class but I know it would be very helpful for some students.

I could sometimes do without the stress of email. lol But…

Thank you for mentioning the international students. I love all the ideas I can get to help them out. I currently have a student from Vietnam and she is wonderful! I also have two students from Mexico and they do not speak any English. Today, it was so sweet that one of them came to me and asked how to pronounce thread. He got so excited when…

I have not used AI for any of my classroom activities or assignments. I was just learning about AI-Resistant Learning and it was very interesting. I am looking at using it in the future and of course don’t know where to start. I am thinking of using it with some of my college test questions to make sure that they are equitable and make my…

I feel like Spring has it’s own set of challenges. Right now the weather is already impacting attendance. For my college students I feel like Spring is challenging because there are so many distractions. For example, I just love going outside and it is hard to be inside studying when you want to be outside playing. For my High School students…

Hi Mary Kate,

I love your description of ACUE! I guess it depends on what and how you are teaching online and face to face. ACUE has great online learning tips in their classes. I love my online classes but the content was created by someone else. This makes it hard to make changes but fortunately my dean has been wonderful in letting me add…

Jorge we had the same but not the MDC online. What is that if you don’t mind me asking?

Jorge, I agree with you on the learning technology side of things. I was blessed when Covid hit because one of my co-workers and I decided to go to any and every training our campus had before Covid. At the time I taught HS and they were going to give every student a Chromebook. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to keep up with our…

I have to say that my focus is really on my students and getting to know them. I, through a tragic accident have had this focus for the last 5 years. I of course placed family first as they did me. So many things we focus on or buy are just not important. Living to fulfill a life that wants to learn from you through your practice is…

Thank you so much. I am truly shocked and blessed. Thank you everyone for great conversations. Congratulations to everyone who won.

I hope everyone gets some well deserved rest during your break if you get one. Have a wonderful Christmas Holiday and New Year too.

This sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing.

I love cornbread dressing!

Thank you.

🧘‍♀️❤

Thank you. I will look at that now.

Awe, I am so sorry about your dad. My dad loved to drink Sangria. There is not a recipe that I know of. What is your favorite gingerbread cookie? Mom and I love the Pepperidge Farm cookies and use to make them until we started making gingersnaps.

Yummy! I always use candy canes and stir until they completely dissolve.

I love these. I agree Easter Eggs at Easter and Christmas trees at Christmas but I need pumpkins at Halloween and hearts for Valentines Day and Flags for Fourth of July too!

Awe, thank you so much. Now to figure out where to put it. 🙂

Cookies and tea for sure! Thank you.

Hi! And that sounds fun! Thank you.

Okay, and I wish I could remember what I said in my survey. Can you see what I posted there? Sorry, it was a long couple of days the last two days. Almost over and break is near! lol

My favorite cookie and holiday tradition for our family is candy cane cookies. They are a shortbread cookie and I don’t like shortbread cookies but I love these. When it is cold I love any flavor hot tea or a hot toddy and a cookie.

BTW: PIcs below. Last night I won first place in a dessert contest for my school district! I made a Raspberry…

Count me in but is there a way to get a head start on the readings? I am taking a class in January along with VASE competition starting too.

True, I just need to go for it and do it. Thank you.

True and I think I just want to make it interesting so I don’t want to talk a lot and I am a talker unfortunately.

That is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

This would be great! Sign me up for that!

Wow!!! I can’t believe I got that right!

I am never in my chair or this might be very useful. I guess there is standing yoga. lol

There are many programs out there but the only one I truly use is Kagan so maybe but I know they are expensive. All the wonderful things we are being taught in these classes run right along with their practices so a lot of it is repeated. I have been through many different trainings through the years and Kagan and Capturing Kids Hearts are…

Haha Uncle Google. Well, I have no idea either. That would be hard to capture even with todays cameras it takes the right timing.

Oh wow! We are close in our answers.

Adrienne, I am with you. I am thinking late 1800s. Maybe 1885ish? No idea of course but that would be my best guess.
