I love seeing that orange "Best Seller" flag!

New resource alert! Hey #EduSky friends- New fun & unique podcast launching soon 4 any age & will be an awesome listen for ur students on history facts u may not know! bit.ly/RHistory25 #TeachingHistory #UDL @techmia.bsky.social

Completely agree and noted in every rating & feedback form I made positive comments if they used comments (or tried to but Internet woes prohibited them) and direct constructive criticism if they didn't. Some people forget, but some know and choose not to-the latter I don't get. #Captions #ATIA2025

What a great week of learning and community building! This situational extrovert is beyond tired but grateful for every greeting and hug. These people get me and that's a gift. #ATIA2025 #CommunAT

🌟📚 Success in literacy for learners with complex needs isn't the exception - it should be the expectation.

Thanks @bthily.bsky.social and @wernedat.bsky.social for suggestions to add to my Bluesky for Teachers guide.

It now includes the important detail that your posts are public (no private accounts). It also encourages CamelCase for hashtags. 👍 #EduSky

Absolutely love the idea of GREEN flags ... So often we focus on what we don't want/don't have versus the people who energize and support and make you a better human. We need more better humans in our world. So be someone who supports others; not competes with them! #ATchat #EduSky #CommunAT

Yes yes, keep 'em coming! My BlueSky game is still in progress and I'm getting used to it all so I definitely didn't slight anyone on purpose. #EduSky #CommunAT

@techmia.bsky.social I'm the same way, I am still getting used to all the usernames and know I miss things, @bethposs.bsky.social and @cast-udl.bsky.social are certainly on my list as are @michelleeduc8.bsky.social and @attipscast.bsky.social. All the #CommunAT!

My core #CommunAT @cfrost-at.bsky.social @techmia.bsky.social @ksuding.bsky.social @mmatp.bsky.social @techmia.bsky.social @ldichiara.bsky.social @lessonpix.bsky.social @hillary-atp.bsky.social and Judie and Rachel who are not over here YET. I could not do the work I do without my #CommunAT.

Tools and Resources I’m thankful for Part 4-truly & honestly what drew me to this work, & what keeps me afloat when it’s hard work, is the #CommunAT of people who know the joy/hard of this profession and can be encouragers and truth bringers when needed. Tag your go to people #EduSky & #ATchat!

Tips for those #EduSky friends that are interested in joining the #AltTextChallenge
And don't know where to start.
Be not afraid!
Starting is better than not doing at all.
We are all only temporarily abled.
