Unbelievable!
Not only will Florida subsidize your Disney family vacation if you homeschool (the irony), you can also buy a big screen television, a trampoline, and a kayak while Florida’s public schools are among the worst-funded in the country

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to perform with @choirchoirchoir live at @LincolnCenter for the Performing Arts in New York City, so of course I had to sing my all-time favorite song. C'mon, sing along with me! You know the words... 🪕 🌈

Wow! Just what I needed even though I “dinna” know it.
What you need right now is an incredibly talented woman in a fantastic dress playing jazz on the bagpipes, you do
This is gorgeous, and perhaps a harbinger of good times ahead.

Finally got to enjoy my Christmas present from Roger Ballard. Here I am at a falconer’s workshop up close and personal with Banshee, a Peregrine Falcon, and Spike, a Harris Hawk. Incredible day!

Just saw a link to this in #AASL SmartBrief @JPhillipsVT gives the *best* description of how SL’s help learners to curate. Love it! youtube.com/watch?v=a3zNNZym…
THIS man is a shining example of what is meant when the term ”presidential” is used. Happy Birthday, Mr. President - and many more!
No president has ever lived so long, or used his years so honorably, as Jimmy Carter, who today turns 96.

So true! Kuhlthau’s work represents the headwater for so much of the theoretical base, and this is an important new work that takes the field to another level. #ISP
An impressive number of research studies have drawn on Kuhlthau's pioneering study, & the research stream anchored by her ISP is unprecedented in the school library literature...Kuhlthau's research has contributed many insights to our...knowledge of learning from information.
