Ralph Warnock ~ congratulations!

Ralph Warnock! Congrats! I was following this political race a bit, in Georgia ... and of course, let me also give some love and a shout-out to Stacey Abrams. For those who didn't know, Ralph Warnock is the new junior Senator for Georgia, and he just won, this January '21. What is significant, I think, is that he is the first African American to represent Georgia in the Senate. Yes, can you believe that?! See, I'm from Boston, which is in the Northeast, in New England, and so, of course, I only understand so much about the South, but with the African American population being greater in Atlanta, compared with Boston, I guess I assumed that several African Americans have served in various high political positions in places like Georgia. Does my thinking here.. this assumption I made.. connect to my own limited thoughts about race, politics and history? Yes, probably, but I don't mind sharing my limitations, because I know that it's important that I continuously confront my thinking, in order that I may become truly anti-racist. Anyways, I just saw these posts on instagram, and thought it was so poignant! The post reads "The last time I was here in 2017, Capitol police were escorting me to central booking for leading a non-violent protest of an immoral budget. This time they just had to show me to my office." Ha! Love it... photo credit to #hbcupridenation [book tour post, day 23, 1/23/21] Thx, ~ Adam Chiocca ~

Doesn't a blog only make sense when others will read it?

Hi, Is anyone reading this...? Really...? (crickets...) You see... I don't mean to sound so lame, but I'm torn. I feel like I'm supposed to contribute to the educational blogosphere, and yet I have three followers. Please... cue giggle (Yes, I want you to smile and giggle). I had these ideal thoughts about what it may be like to blog and learn from others online, and yet - I feel quite unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Yes, there must be 2 billion blogs out there, and everyone is pretty busy with life, so should I continue to blog? Please - somebody leave a comment...! And say, Yes, Mr. Chiocca, please contribute. Education and the future of public education depends on people like you, who care and want our kids to learn as much as they can in each grade level. Thanks for reading! Mr. Chiocca

My first clubhouse room!

I'm officially a moderator on Clubhouse! Yay! Have you gotten on the app? It's still new, and in development, so it's only available on Apple iPhones, and iPads, etc. It's still "invite only" and they did this on purpose, but I don't think it was meant to be exclusive, like a private club, rather because they are still in the "Beta" phase of growing, and developing, and didn't want to have millions join too fast, and thus overload the system. Once you're on it, they you realize the value of it. It's cool how the conversations in these "rooms" are generally based around a specific niche idea/ industry/ topic/ question. There are rooms with thousands of listeners, and then there are smaller rooms which allow you to make new friends, and to be "brought up onto the stage," to speak. It's audio only, and only Twitter and Instagram are linked in your profile, so it seems pretty clean and neat. I like how there
