Math has always felt uncomfortable. Now I know why.

Keeping the mind occupied in productive ways is not easy especially when we are all reacting to trauma in different ways. Loss of jobs, loss of income, unstable housing situations, food insecurity, new care responsibilities, health concerns, and all of it taking place without being able to leave your home are overwhelming things when you deal with one of them. But experiencing many or all of them, well, that’s what this pandemic is doing.
If this virus outbreak doesn’t get schools to start teaching about the interconnectivity of the world, I don’t know what will. This post looks at five topics through the lens of Covid-19.
Education can transform the life of a girl. It can empower her to achieve her dreams. Girls who finish secondary school are more likely to marry at a later age. Find out why education for girls is critical for an equal society through Ilham’s story.

Janie reached out to me just before I launched the new version of the website, and I’m so glad she did. Her reflections on her journey as an educator and her decision to leave the classroom ring true for many of us. I’m so glad she is able to continue her work in education and reach many children around the world.
Sometimes you can’t do it all. I got punched in the face with that reality today, so I took a step back.
I have known Ilene for a few years now. We met through the ISTE Global Collaboration PLN, and she continues to impress me. I love this post she wrote because it demonstrates all the things I haven’t been in my life abroad, and I respect her so much for it. Her motivated curiosity is something we should all aspire to have. A big thank you to Ilene for showing us all that it’s possible to learn a language despite the struggles.
Ten years ago I began the decade in Australia. I was a third grade teacher in Kissimmee, Florida. Little did I know that 2010 would be the start of many new chapters and seemingly many lifetimes lived. Here’s my decade by the numbers.
