This 91-year-old professor went viral because of this picture, as he embraced virtual teaching so his students wouldn’t miss a beat. 🥺

Many of the ... commenters on the post were former students of Professor Krohn's -- dating back to the 1960s!

Love this idea and it's making me think of other extreme heat related problems to explore! You might have students do some inquiry on low-income neighborhoods ... having less shade and have students work to solve this problem for communities. https://twitter.com/lesliemaniotes/status/1448290455016263685

"You’re writing fiction, after all. What matters is that it ... feels real and true to you as the writer, so you can make it feel real and true to the reader." 📖
