👁️👁️ WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK:
👩🏻💻 TKSST is now on a more powerful server. Thanks so much for your patience this morning as we worked to get the site switched over! If you see any glitches or if the site is unavailable, it’s temporary. But please write to me if anything seems amiss.
The change, made possible by TKSST Members, is part of my commitment to leveling up TKSST in 2025, and it’s a huge relief! Our server capacity has been a significant bottleneck for far too long. Doubling our memory and tripling our processing power means we can now serve more visitors and classrooms simultaneously while keeping searches quick and pages loading fast, even during peak traffic.
Become a TKSST Member today and help sustain this algorithm-free educational resource. Your support directly enables upgrades like this one. It also ensures we can continue amplifying incredible educational content from museums, artists, scientists, educators, creators, and experts.
Thank you, and please enjoy the links and videos below. - Rion
💬 Fostering Civil Discourse: Difficult Classroom Conversations in a Diverse Democracy. Tools and strategies from Facing History.
🎭 Improv in the Classroom from Edutopia: “A collection of our popular articles and videos about how theater games and improvisation can spark creativity, build relationships, and boost academics and executive function skills alike.”
👹 Why The Internet Was Captivated By A Hideous Fish with Dr. Kory Evans, Flora Lichtman, and SciFri.
🎷 Kwame Alexander’s jazzy animated shorts are coming to PBS. As someone who launched a kid-friendly website with a scat singing video, I look forward to seeing more of this series.
🧮 FROM TODAY’S TRUSTED PARTNER
A quick note about Prodigy: We’ve been fans since our kids, who used it in elementary school, asked to make home accounts for the summer. Kids practice standards-aligned skills in Math and English as they play fun, adaptive learning games. Parent and teacher tools are included. Plus, it’s free for students and teachers!
