(I be hopin for answers about strategies and such, but if he need to come clean about stealing boxes of Kleenex, I suppose that be a fittin’ answer as well.) #weirded
A1 I be filchin dem lesson plans, worksheets and any fine ideas they use to keep the calm when on stormy seas. But sometimes they just give it away, so it be hardly worth a filch! #weirded
A1 I stole this artifact from the old times and turned it into something useful. The dreaded E-Waste pirates from the east were coming to scrap her. Not today, I said. Not today! Pi is for Pirates right???? @Raspberry_Pi#weirded
Stealing the Kleenex be such a common treachery that I used to keep me box on my math coach's desk 'cause none dare abused her hospitalities. She took a fair bounty of them for herself! #WeirdEd

Q2 We be attacking PBL and all ther craziness that comes in starting a STEAM School from scratch. Add in moving to a Push-In from a Pull-Out SPED model, lot to attack. #theycominfromeverywhere#WeirdEd
I am pirating misconceptions about what kids can do, attacking stereotypes, attacking biases, and also building a tiny robot army to take over the world. #weirded
A2 Move quiet into the shallows and attack that shallow depth of knowledge. Why do they insist on keeping them feet planted firmly instead of getting in deep and getting real results! #weirded
By the way, if anyone be interested, there's a free ebook ye can find
The Pirates' Who's Who by Philip Gosse
which has some interesting stories and tidbits. It what I read between books, a few entries at a time. (It's an encyclopedia of sorts.) #weirded
Ahh yis indeed. Ye crew had many days and nights of best STEAM pirates captains in nearby waters. HMS @steminitiative full of good pirates. Prepared us for battle indeed! #weirded
A3 Gimme a screen and a machine to sail her by and I can travel a sea of knowledge.
Seriously, working tech with the proper software and support, somewhere between treasure and the siren song #weirded
A3 after years, I found me a journal from me pirate papa who passed to soon and is why I blog each day of learning so nobody has to look for an X on a map to see my thinking #WeirdEd
Keepin' order? Aye! That be the tricky part!
There's one voice speakin', and that be mine, except for all the other ones calling me.
But we be sharin' the class participation points, so don't go hogging all the class time for ye-self! #WeirdEd
A3 Seeing my students included more and more. Inclusive practices are really the right things to do. Seeing ye little sailors going to 6th grade excursion, away from ye folks for the first moon. Me eyesballs got a little stormy. #weirded
I may be weighin anchor early and slip off to get ready for the morrow.
And while the sheets may not be set into the wind, the A/C may be blowin' near them. #weirded
(The last question were supposed to be about scuttling, the strategic sinking of ships, which I knew nothing about until researching pirates.) #weirded
If ye would like to be learnin’ more about pirates, I wrote a short post about how they be good role models in the classroom: https://t.co/N5cY9Boc4A#weirded
