Online Education: Learning and Teaching in Cyberspace | Greg Kearsley

I have everything ready to go to teach my students online for the rest of the semester, via Microsoft teams. Small manageable groups. Quick, regular, video check ins. We got this!!!
I‘ve got seniors, so a big part of my job now is keeping them on track to graduate in just a few weeks.

Brave New World | Aldous Huxley

Tea and a new book before bed.
I‘ve been enjoying Aldous Huxley‘s Brave New World so far, it‘s an interesting read. Different from what I usually read. #nightread #booksandtea #aldoushuxley #bravenewworld #newbook #fiction

Fahrenheit 451: A Novel | Ray Bradbury

Can't believe I havent read this til now! What a thought provoking story! Firemen go around burning books. Reading, books & free thinking become outlawed, no one engage in real conversations, people's ears plugged in with a device, eyes watching LED screens on walls at home 24/7! A scary world that could happen if we let it. Can't stop thinking about this book!
Highly recommend if you enjoy #1984, #BraveNewWorld or #TheGiver

BooknerdsLife And I need to thank my teenage daughter who recommended this book to me few years ago! She certainly has good taste in books! 5y

teainthelibrary It took me forever to pick it up also, and I felt the same exact way - should've picked it up a lot sooner. Great book! 5y

CarolynM It's not long since I read it for the first time and I reacted in much the same way. There's always a reason why a book becomes a classic. 5y

BooknerdsLife @teainthelibrary IKR! Love it so much! But I‘m glad I read it now as an adult instead of during high school. Don‘t think I‘d have appreciated it as much 5y

BooknerdsLife @CarolynM So true! I can‘t stop thinking about this one and just couldn‘t recommend it enough! 5y

So this person's name is PC Lyre... is the author insinuating perhaps Personal Computers Lie??? Could it be, could it possibly be that PCs LIE!! Question Everything...

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That‘s an interesting choice. 6y

Gina This is one of those 1984esq art books that create their own world and you need to just jump in with an open crazy mind. They push the boundaries of acceptable. Not for everyone and definitely not for kids... 6y
