I’ve been experimenting with coding web pages that display random text or redirect you to a random webpage. In reality, the text and websites aren’t entirely random. The HTML randomly selects from a list of text messages or a list of URLs. Another sticker I like to give out has a QR code that links to an HTML file.

Story Grammar Marker works through a sequence(s) of linked icons, my favorite of which is the Kickoff, representing the initiating event of a narrative. But this post does have some purposes as well.

The old adage, “Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” is true especially in today’s society when kids are used to so much choice in their world. Also, in today’s busy world, it’s important for teachers and school staff to make positive connections with students. Greet students at the door. Smile and call them by name.
