Our #NCTE2024 from “Humor In and Across Learning Spaces”! Great conversations about integrating humor as a critical practice in learning spaces. The group weathered our technical problems with good humor 😉

Alethea Madonad (@uhleetheeuh) is dropping tons of gems on writing strategies today at #Ncte24. I love the teacher input happening in this session. That's why we call it #MakersintheMiddle. The teachers engage in these sessions!

Linda Coombs said she's told that Indigenous people have "creation myths". She said, "No, we have creation histories" and I'm now realizing that I'm gonna need to take notes. #NCTE #MakersintheMiddle

Listening to Linda Coombs talks about TEK - Traditional Ecological Knowledge - and Indigenous ways of life. Excited to read her new book, Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. #NCTE24 #NCTE #makersinthemiddle
