Thank you! This is great. Just shared it with our teachers. I'm sure they will appreciate it as they prepare for whatever tomorrow holds. Additional questions to predict - will we have a snow day? remote learning day? or hybrid day? #DENStar #WardTechPD

Thank you @swbsls and @amlibraries! It’s an honor to have been recognized.
Trying my hand at brass and solder construction by following @jipraus excellent instructable autode.sk/2PCVLty and I thought I could make an LED spinning top. It worked! Also bonus aloof cat in the background.

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.
