Forget fun facts! Educator @kyleniemis.bsky.social‬ keeps things interesting by inviting Ss to a snoozefest. 😴

"Instead of asking students to share a 'fun fact' about themselves, I ask them to share a 'boring fact.' As someone who made the switch a few years back, I can tell you that it results in many more 'fun' facts and a whole lot less anxiety for students." —Educator Kyle Niemis
