Can you see the red lights flashing and hear the alarms blaring? If not, look and listen more closely. Maybe the efforts of some to ban books, control curriculum and force students to conform are a bit misguided and not helping learning? k12dive.com/news/NAEP-readin…

Great news for our region! ECE will be reaching ALL of its members in the coming years beginning with builds in parts of Kanabec, Isanti and Pine counties this Summer.
When is blazing fast fiber internet coming to your area? The level of interest from each neighborhood could impact our construction schedule and allow us to get to certain areas sooner, so SHARE this and tell your family and friends to do the same! ecefiber.com/

School folks, pass this opportunity around. A super inexpensive day of learning about all things related to school security (with lunch included!)

Always so great to hear from our future leaders, the students, who remind us why we do the work we do! Thank you @PoplarTreeES Tech Ambassadors! #setda #PawTechSquad
Minnesota is one of the states that does NOT have dedicated education technology leadership. We need to change this!
Replying to @SETDA
Key Finding: States vary greatly in how they are organized to support edtech, with only 55% of states reporting that they have a dedicated office for educational technology.

Proud to serve with Steve Fenske, @brjoselyn @TeddyBekele and others on the MN Broadband Task Force and be present today as @GovTimWalz signed legislation providing historic investments in broadband in the coming months and years. #mnbroadband #ECMECC #mnleg

What if, instead of moments of silence, we had months of action in response to the tragedies we saw today, experienced two years ago in Minneapolis and have happened way too many times in the past couple of decades across our country?

On accessibility in education, @erinmote of @InnovateEDUNYC says, "In a snowstorm where you want to get students into the building, you can either shovel the steps or shovel the ramp" Let's #shoveltheramp so EVERYONE can participate!

Fantastic session @SETDA Leadership forum today with rockstars from national Ed Tech organizations like @ISTE @COSN and more talking about what state leadership in #EdTech should look like. Minnesota needs to hear these ideas! #METN #ECMECC

I’m joining with broadband champions from across the state to learn about and move forward broadband access and use in Minnesota. Join me! bit.ly/3D9RK7B
Hey @UPS it's great when you "innovate" by working with @USPS but it's not great when you lose my order and then an hour with an inept customer service rep goes nowhere and the promise of a call from a supervisor goes unmet. #ups you need to do much better.

Who will be #SuperBowl MVP? #Brady or #Gronk or could it be a first ever dual award to #bronk?
#bronk for the clutch first down will the be a TD number 3 before the half? #SuperBowl
