Hi , I'm at #ISTELIVE in Philadelphia this week presenting student-centered strategies that improve learning, which is my PASSION! One tool I am using while I present is called Merlyn Mind. Have you heard of Merlyn Mind? Merlyn frees teachers to focus on students, instead of standing near your computer.

🎆July 4th is coming quickly. Check out my July 4th challenges. What are your plans? ✅Check in and let me know how things are going with you this summer and what you are looking forward to in the fall.
