I told my students they're allowed to be creative and don't have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like "what if I don't have roommates or what if I don't have hobbies" and I'm like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won't fact check you!
So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud
Crash Course by Complexly is a great resource of subject area specific YouTube videos: https://complexly.com/shows/crash-course/
and Khan Academy is another great resource of k-12+ educational videos and lessons in all subjects: https://www.khanacademy.org
also Autodesk Instructables has some great STEM lessons, but can be a bit confusing to navigate sometimes: https://www.instructables.com/teachers/
for K-12 Stem education Autodesk softwares are provided free to students, and Autodesk has a wide variety of tutorials on learning CAD https://www.autodesk.com/education/home
With Trump's talk of eliminating the US Department of Education, I want to compile a list of free and accessible materials for students, educators, and continuous learners.
Project Gutenburg has a library of over 70,000 free eBooks and audiobooks, with particular emphasis on those in the Public Domain.
The California Department of Education has compiled a list of Free Educational Resources that were originally meant for distance learning during Covid. I think these are primarily for grades K-12.
Library Finder is a free website that can point you in the direction of your closest local library. Libraries are an amazing resource for literacy programs, community outreach, computer access, and much more.
The University of San Diego has compiled a list of Top 24 Educational Resources for Teachers. Most of these are free, free with ads, or free with an account.
National Geographic has a list of Education Resources on their website. I highly encourage everyone to explore the website on their own time.
PBS has a bunch of different educational resources on their website that you can browse easily by subject and grade level.
Please add more resources if you come across them. This is by no means a comprehensive list.
girl you've been running through my mind all day

Attached are 8.5" x 11" patterns for print and assemble Hippo Hats, perfect of World Hippo Day, February 15th! There is a black and white coloring book version and a pre-colored version! For best results print on cardstock and assemble using staples, but tape and copy paper will also work! This year, 2025, World Hippopotamus Day falls during an event called the Project for Awesome. This event raises money for organizations that fight to do a lot of good in the world, like Save The Children and Partners in Health. If you are able, please look into the Project for Awesome, share, and consider donating. More information can be found @ www.projectforawesome.com or check my pinned post. Happy World Hippo Day to all who celebrate!
Alright tell me in the tags, what’s Your Poem? That poem you heard once and it has dwelt within you ever since?
The 18th (?!?!?) annual Project for Awesome starts today at noon eastern time, but we've already raised over $500,000 for charities like Save the Children and Partners in Health.
You can get some amazing perks this year, including the first few chapters of my next book, the annual podcast I make with Sarah where we read emails we wrote each other before we started dating, and lots more. Check it all out at http://projectforawesome.com/donate.

Disappointed to learn that Ark Encounter, the creationist theme park in Kentucky whose primary and by primary I mean only attraction is a replica of Noah's Ark built with public tax incentives & that pitches itself as a field trip destination for public schools, has abandoned their plans to build an "immersive" Plagues of Egypt ride, but delighted to learn the Bible theme park is building a Tower of Babel instead
