Mr Orens: “You turned south instead of north” Bronze Group: “yeah, we thought it would be ok but now we get it!” Experiential learning at its very best. #checkyourmaps @ISB_Bronze_IA @ISB_MS #getoutside #mslearns #outdoored

Can you tell we’re excited to finally hold an in-person @ISB_MS Club Infinity session? It was the perfect opportunity to play with some recently rediscovered paper folding puzzles. Colour puzzle by @scottekim. Crazy Eights puzzle shared via @mathequalslove. #mslearns #mathclub

This may well be the most important book of the decade on teaching. Opening chapters lay out the kind of thinking that might get me back here more often to talk about learning.

I miss being able to hand out #mathgame boards and pieces to #clubinfinity students - but, this slides version was the next best thing. And yes, when I play against a student, I play to win. :) Get a copy to play with your students: bit.ly/9MensMorrisDG #mathed

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

Don’t Work on Vacation. Seriously. "Spending weekends or holidays working undermines one of the most important factors that determines whether people persist in their work: intrinsic motivation. " hbr.org/2020/07/dont-work-on… #wellbeing #edchat #cpchat #edtech #COVID

In their spare time, a team of ISB employees, in collaboration with @sjis, have been making 3D printed Face Shields and donating them to people who need to protect themselves from #Covid19 the most. 👏 #ThisIsISB #DistanceLearning #Brussels #together t.ly/EHGy
