HI everyone, Dvora catching up here in LA
Welcome! Glad you could make it. :)
Hey Dvora! Welcome! Fun, humor theme tonight!
me too! thanks for welcoming me
A2 my wife and best friend, makes me laugh all the time makes me laugh every time we meet.
Good to hear! I'm rusty in the humor dept
A2 is the funniest person I know.
A2 tie between my 21 month old and my 8 year old. The funny stuff they do can't bye scripted https://t.co/EnEMGUJtZ6
A2: feeling the pressure! The funniest?!? Does count? He liked my tweet 1x as I’ve told u about 100x.
A2: my brother. He knows me well enough to know the level of inappropriateness of "next statements" when we talk
Mel Brooks totally has a 100x multiplier.
Our athletic director... he doesn't know he is funny. I derive a good portion of my empathy thru him.
A2 hmm… my sisters, my mother, JO LS
ahhh, you are so right! Kids are funny; they don't have the filters that force them to be serious

A1 A man walks into a zoo and the only animal there was a dog
It was a Shitzu via Patty (I don’t get patty’s jokes @ all)

A3: I’ve heard DT urban legend that someone interviewed said they were vegetarian as they stuffed chicken nuggets in their mouth.
I'm just sitting here working on a presentation for manana & then I get an ugly mug notification from https://t.co/B128QVBe8c
A2 my 17 yo daughter. Best deadpan delivery & entirely made up vocab, she assumes you know I'm Pablo, papacit, or grumpypants
hahaha nice shot for A3 Bryan
maybe they were vege-chicken nuggets?
It's amazing what you can find online, isn't it?
So funny. My nephew said they were probably from McDonalds so no real meat in them anyway!
Ha! As a designer, I suppose you observe what they do more than what they say, eh? ;)
what is that picture from? Great prompt photo!
Dan, did you notice Jeff on our team is your stunt double
He’s working on presentation for tomorrow.
? I need that in my settings!
Just an infamously unexplainable pic from around the internet years ago. :)
One can only hope 4 beautiful contradictions like that so you can dig deeper!! https://t.co/jLzGPrcgol
Ha! As a designer, I suppose you observe what they do more than what they say, eh? ;)

A3 Interviewing Ts about PLC practices and he said trust was important. “Why” He said I can’t tell here, people are listening
A3 I need to be better at recalling A funny thing happened while
depending on delivery that's a good combo of A1 and A3!
I like having this humor lens to recall past discover/empathy work? Thanks https://t.co/aBIHGn14Jw
A3 I need to be better at recalling A funny thing happened while
A3. school admin said "empathy. we already do that, we're already in schools everyday." ...
I hope I didn't make you angry. I don't think I would like u when you're angry.
A3 here is a funny observation; sitting at a PD around interactive learning for Ss and the facilitator lectures the entire time
aside from the 2 lls & an a Villanova has nothing to do with basketball are we being serious now?
Sounds like how I earned my CLAD. 40 Hours of lecture to explain how not to lecture. https://t.co/E5E4ieOi0W
A3 here is a funny observation; sitting at a PD around interactive learning for Ss and the facilitator lectures the entire time
A4 I need to find/see/remember more humor in the process I know its there Thanks 4 reminder

Wow this has been fastest Yet it feels like we havent even scratched the surface BTW Any peeps have any Qs abt
A4 My best story is when I ran a session with Ts and provided m&ms. One team crushed them to make their prototype.

A4: Could be fun award 2give Ss. Most unique prototyping material,funny,etc did u do that? I remember someone did
A5 S: "my cousin learned all the parts of a cell, but he can't balance his checkbook. Why can't we learn that in school?

Ss yelling at one another re: giving "KIND, specific, helpful" feedback.Not what Berger intended I'm sure https://t.co/9KC7Q6fEty
A5 the struggle is real; struggling to remember
"Your explanation just doesn't feel right."
A5 had a S suggest a team reshoot a video because the S wasn’t in it.
How in the world has it been an hour already! Guess it's all the laughing!
A5 S testing a prototype: "that would be dope"
Are we really done already?
