    7 CREATIVE TOOLS That I'm Using with My ELEMENTARY DESIGN STUDENTS

    If you’re teaching in similar spaces, here is a list of tools, design challenges, and creative tasks that I’ve tried and recommend (I have no affiliation with any of these brands, products, or sites).

    This ONE THING Will DESTROY Your CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

    This ONE THING Will DESTROY Your CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

    I will never forget one of my high school science teachers.

    He was a good man. A decent person. His instructional practices weren’t exactly progressive, but he meant well.

    The biggest problem for him was that he had a very short fuse.

    Get under his skin, and things could really unravel. He would raise his voice. His skin would start changing colors. He would throw chalk at students. He would smash his speaking podium on the floor.
