“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”
Sometimes we don’t have a choice over who we spend time with, but lately, I’ve been careful to choose people who are positive, kind and a joy to be around.

My friend and colleague, Val, gave me a Merge Cube this week. I have been lost in a world of augmented reality ever since.  This is such a great way for students to learn and explore various content areas.
